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.

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

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

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.

Damn, more mysteries to solve. One thing to check, is that FX updated the the transfer port design, so that there are are 2 ports to choose from (big and small) by rotating the barrel 180 degrees. Maybe your wildcat has the small one facing down (ie the one that is in use?)
