Depends on the caliber & intended application, but the first 2 easiest things you could do would be to detune the valve, & install a regulator.
Detune the valve by blocking off most of the holes & leaving the one/s that line up with the transfer port open, then open that one up a little more if needed till its about 75% of transfer port size. Then add a sail to the valve stem, it's basically a flat steel washer that goes between the flat part of the valve seat & the spring, it just helps the valve close a little faster so you use less air per shot.
Adjustments to the hammer spring settings that you may need to make would require a bit of effort, because you would need to remove the butt stock & a metal plate to get to it.

Hey Comic69,
Look at some of the posts I did back in late January/early Februrary on tuning the Hatsan Galatain.

Hey Kirk It does not appear to be a hammer adjustment on the Galatain, did you change springs?

Baxter,
There is a hammer adjustment, it's just a pain to get to. You need to remove the butt stock and butt stock retaining plate. Underneath the plate, you'll find the slot to input the standard 4mm wrench to adjust in or out. Not surprisingly, it comes from Hatsan turned almost all the way in (high tension). I may have replaced my spring with another, lighter one too, just can't remember
.
Good Luck,
Kirk

Huh ..............
So no pre-load, adjustment screw inside the hammer like on AT-44 or BT65? We'll that beats the heck out of me, because my Galatain has one and I adjusted it
. Either Hatsan
forgot
to include one or the only hammer adjustment now is through spring replacement? I'd call Rick Eutsler or the current Hatsan rep. and ask. No hammer pre-load adjustment in a $800+ gun doesn't make sense to me

Hey Baxter,
Looked at the Galatain schematic off the HatsanUSA website. Under parts tab. Part #2914 is the adjustment screw we have been discussing. However, the schematic is from 2013, maybe things have changed?

Well Baxter, you can only do so much, especially when it's not your gun
,
The brass washer suggests there could be a screw inside the hammer which is be adjustable. The brass washer likely pushes against the spring to vary tension. Otherwise the brass ring is useless, the spring could push against the hammer itself.
Also, when I look at the schematic the screw is part #2407 and the hammer is #2914. The ring that pushes against the spring is #2408. Part #2916 is removable.....................enough
Good Luck
