R3M needs a bit of work
Here’s the situation. Ran a spread sheet and after a relative flat 60-shot string I kept shooting. To my surprise the fps climbed from about 850 fps to 979 fps after 90 total shots. I think my gun has a bent valve stem. So now the fun of ownership starts. Can someone please advise me on where to purchase a degassing tool, and maybe an up-rated valve stem kit? BTW, I ran a test this morning starting at 165b and shot the pressure down to 130 bar. This was about 40 shots, but I had 5 chrony errors. The starting fps was averaging 805 fps, but by the time of the 40th shot I saw 888 fps. . I suppose I could order an OEM stem, butI don’t know if those have been up-rated or not. So, need a little help.
thank you,
Darryl
PS I’ve removed the gun from sale due to this issue cropping up.

Thanks Dman. Photobucket is really slow uploading this morning. I’m waiting on it so I can post a picture of the spreadsheet. Seems once the pressure in the reservoir drops to around 140bar the fps starts a steep climb.

Daryll I could be wrong but the .22 valves rarely if at all have issues. This is not a valve problem
From what your describing… sounds like the regulator needs to be serviced.
I have never tore into my eddie so i can’t help yah there but the symptoms are showing a regulator that is not regulating .
I’m sure others will chime in and guide you down the path of Fuxation !!!

Most regs need a good cleaning when they come from the factory and after they get that cleaning they work much better. I would give it a good cleaning and at the same time mark the current reg settings and replace any O-rings that look like they need it. Then run a fresh string and see if there are any issues.
