Best regulator for BSA R10 MK2 ?

[solder]

New BSA, Altaros, Milo, Huma, Lane  etc. I know very little about any of them. Is there a "best" one out there? Thanks for any help?

Seems most folks like the Huma on the R10. 
I have one on mine and have no complaints.

Does the stock regulator not perform well?

Does the stock regulator not perform well?

Stock regulator is a bit variable, but under 20 FPS ES. It has performed from 4 to 19 ES for 30 shot strings. It's all about accuracy and getting the most out of your gun. Maybe I should just skip mods on the BSA and get a new Mutant Vet in about a month. Sometimes this hobby drive me nuts, but I find it a very nice way to waste time and get focused.

I can tell you from my limited experience with the BSA R10/Huma Regulator combination that the Huma performs flawlessly.  I have experimented with settings from 140 BAR down to 130 BAR and back to 140 again.  The Huma is well built and extremely consistent.  Using 140 as a starting point, after working my way down to 130 then back to 140, it tracks very well with velocities/fpe returning exactly where they had been.  The regulator is a cinch to install and easy to adjust.  No spiked first shots and ES has averaged 9-11 and as low as 6 across 30-40 shots depending on the hammer spring settings.

Hope this helps

Steve, Are you using the stock hammer spring and guide?

Yes, stock spring and spring guide.  My factory spring is the 1.4mm wire.  I have a lightweight delrin spring guide on the way from XTX Air and will be running some tests on this later next week when it arrives.
