Ok so tried to tune it today (Waitangi day) Mrs was not impressed as I wasted most of the day.
18g JSB reg set at 150 bar, Hammer set to 6mm then fine tune from there. 1 457 2 520 3 568 4 619 5 665 6 703 7 745 After tuning on setting 7 backing off from where the sear wouldn't engage I got 783 was expecting more way more, so 25ftp seems to be it disappointed.

Hmm, my rifle has the model 2020, which is easy to turn anti clockwise with an allen key to increase the pressure.

Have you tried totally degassing it, then try adjusting the reg to see if it turns?

Yep main tank at 3/4 full, I just can't get any movement on the adjustment the adjustment allen screw, in danger of stripping it, if I haven't already, why put an adjustment like that down such a tiny hole, when everything else is now using a knob. Don't think I moved it at all, gauge never moved. Did back the hammer screw out to just under 6mm. Tested speed was 732 with 18g JSB, would get a lot of shots out of with the reg showing 100 but was looking for 900fps.

Gee, that's a pain. What pressure was the main tank on? It would have to be over 150 for the reg gauge to read 150.

Tried to tune it today, could not adjust the regulater output, want 150 she's stuck on 100 so no way to tune. Looks like it's heading back to Auckland. In which case be in touch by Christmas

Finally arrive today, been 2 1/2 weeks from when I gave the nod.
Wow even though it's the long version it's still pretty short, nice. So far have pumped it up by hand slowly. Put a vortex FFP PST 5-25 on it, scope felt like it weighs as much as the rifle at 30 ounces, will have to redo with some higher rings to do things properly. The whole rig feels awesome to the shoulder, very firm & balanced. Yes I will set up something to firm up the barrel as to free floaty for me also. Now the fun starts tuning & getting to know this setup. Got a spare mag & 500 /16g JBS thrown in to the deal. As always Ron Young is a great Guy to deal with, also came in a nice case, which I wasn't expecting.

depending on the type of chrono you have,muzzle blast will affect some chronoes particually those using photo cell light screens,solution normally for this type is to move chrono further from muzzle,hope that helps.
cheers mike

Still waiting for my one to arrive, getting a bit concerned about heat & water filters & how to pump it up. This Gun City shoe box pump my mate has to get it up to speed then top up with an FX pump, will keep an eye on the heat aspect. Don't want to mess up this puppy. Yes 18.13 JSB heavies is what I have and will probably stay with. Chronied my HW80 .22 yesterday 650 fps with 15g pellet disappointing, smooth & accurate though, couldn't believe when I whacked a pigeon in the chest went down but couldn't find the dam thing. Problems chronying TX200 177 just shows error, perhaps some sort of adjustment on the chrony sensitivity.
