Stock .177 Marauder with new Huma Reg

Thanks again Motörhead and the rest of you for your advice.  If nothing else I have one of my guys on cloud 9 tonight that his Marauder now gets 100 regulated shots.  This guy bought his Marauder about 3 years ago and has put, no joke, 190K shots thru it.  He is retired and shoots every morning and most afternoons.  So I guess I need to start researching how to rebuild a Huma reg as I am his gun doctor.  I feel fairly confident after my results today and it will be interesting to see if Marauder #1 will respond in a similiar fashion and raise it's shot count from 72 shots up to 100 or close to it.

Now for a new twist on this I have a question.  The two Marauders I have discussed so far were Gen 2 rifles.  I know of at least 3 Gen 1 Marauders in use here at my range.  Once the word gets out of our success installing the regulators I am sure there will be more requests.  The Gen 1 & Gen 2 differed in that the valves are slightly different.  The Gen 2 vavle is supposed to be more efficient.  Since the valves are different would my recipe work the same?  In my mind it should.  With a reg in place it is metering the air pressure that reaches the valve and the valve is mearly the device that releases the air.  Is my thinking correct?

[Brazos]

Yes.  Stock transfer ports.
