While one can change the power via pressure easy enough ( this is major cool BTW ) sadly the valve dwell with vary wildly with much suffrage in efficiency when tuned outside of the sweet spot in pressure / hammer strike energy on the poppet valve.

The adjustable regulators are indeed a MAJOR step in the right direction, but also need to be managed easily with a viable system in changing hammer energy delivered to valve that's not caught up just yet.

My buddy(Mike Kobel-Citrus airguns) made me a setup for my Gauntlet similar to Marauder setup with integrated HS adjuster & stroke adjuster( had to add short screw top & bottom for access thru endcap for adjustment( with new endcap) but with this setup should be able to use in tandem with adjustable reg.

Great work Haj. I do not have a Gauntlet but it seems that with guys like you they are becoming very mod-able just like the marauders. There is nothing more satisfying than to take a rifle to the whole next level. Keep up the good work.

Hajimoto,
So how are these new flex regs holding up? Do they have a tendency to creep? Are they stable? I'm looking to get one very soon for my .25 gauntlet. Can't wait for the video to come out on them. So which gauge is pointing at the barrel, is it tank pressure?
Just purchased a .38l bottle with the proper threads. Gonna take a bit for it to arrive but should really boost shot count. So I'll only need the regulator.

Scott you are 100% correct and I guess I take it for granted that every Gauntlet owner have installed a Super Tune Kit. I have said this 1 million time before that any Gauntlet owner that is looking for ANY type of adjustability so they can fly different weight projectiles at their most stable rate of travel, MUST have some sort of hammer preload adjustment and the STK gives that to the end user.


Thanks for reminding me that where I am in process may not be where the new guy to this experience will be.

Hey Dan,
 These Flex regs have been rock solid with no creep. It is important to note that as Motorhead and I discussed in the previous post, hemmer preload energy adjustment is a must so in order to get true consistent results you need to have the Super Tune Kit installed. I still have some left but with Ninja Paintball shut down I am quickly running out of items that I normally have access to.
