Some months ago I closed a deal with a friend of mine about a.22 Evanix Giant X2 that he was keeping in his store.
The airgun had been returned a year ago to his store because a magazine jamming (the problem was bigger than that). After a very friendly bussines talk we closed the deal and now I'm the proud owner of this excelent piece of tech (I'll post some photos later).
After some work I was able to fix the automatic firing system that was completely ruined by the old owner. I also buy new mags and two batteries for it. Now the gun shots pretty good with no jams. Evanix was able to provide me with all the necessary parts and pieces (a very good supplier BTW).
So now I plan to convert it to .25 (that's the easy part) and also to make it regulated. So here come my questions ... Do I need a regulator for each tank? What model of regulator would be the best in that case? Is it possible to modify the block that joins both tanks and have only one regulator? Machining a new block to contain the regulator is not a problem for me.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Don't duel tank design run two separate lines that meet into a "T" joiner or something then the one line is feed into the valve? Never heard of a twin front/rear bottle setup being regulated

There's no space for a regulator in a X2 dropblock (at least in Sniper version) so you would have to manufacture a separate chamber in between the block and the bottle with regulator and enough plenum volume. You could then connect the rear bottle feed line to the unregulated side of this chamber. Loads of work for little gain. Just tune it for a nice and flat unregulated shot string, with that air volume you will get a lot of shots with little variation in speed.

Thanks for your answers
I was designing a new block but in the end as rkr said the gain will be not much so I'll work on the hammer spring to get a better curve...
