So Ville who do you send your Vulcan to for a tuning. Surely needs some fixing.

My thoughts exactly ! 🙂
Yes I agree there for sure. But I’m sure it’ll be even better after I get it tuned by Ernest I have a list of things he does to the gun. From the looks of it and from what I’ve been told about improving the accuracy this list covers all that and then some. He is going to set the regulator for 880 FPS. by doing this should it improve shot count? By the way thanks for the step by step on how to get to the reg and all but I’m gonna hold off on any of that for now. That’s what I was worried About with a gun like this $$$$. I’m really good at breaking things
:hoot:

Just spoke to Ernest about the tune. Sounds like about a month from now ill have one badass gun.
That’s my kind of glass if I was to go buy some with someone else’s money. I bought me a set of binos to pick up sparrows in evergreens. They are just wonderful

Most Starlings are, by definition, smarter than you. That doesn´t mean they´re “Supersmart”. Supersmart is a guy smarter than me. We had one of those for a long time ago – the guy who didvided the Red Seas – called …. I can´t remember. He was an idiot compared to me anyways …
:rofl: :rofl: Ballpark Frank…….. :rofl: :rofl: Hoot at his best….
I have one but it’s cut out of trade magazine hanging on my garage wall
:hoot:
Chattering magpies!!
Ballpark, this is what we call “hijacking” a thread. That’s when some forum members start their periods and begin gossiping about their equipment, experiences, or other forum members sex lives and other shortcomings! This goes on for about seven days then they return to normal.

I like that one, almost as small as the connect.

If I am going to spend this much money on a gun I am going to sent it to a tuner to check it out and go through it ,
Get hold of Earnest and have him go over it, The rest is up to you.

I have found that Starlings are super smart. Well let’s say they are smart enough to keep far away from me. My hatred of starlings have driven my long range obsession.
It’s best to learn about the gun from pictures and topics posted before you start trying to disassemble your pcp. You need to know what the parts look like and where they are located before you try to modify or adjust them. This takes time and patience. Slow down…you are not ready to do this kind of work on a $1650 air gun.
Even after you are familiar with the gun, it’s best to leave the regulator alone. Most fps adjustments for fps can be done by increasing the hammer spring tension. Contact Hagantool@aol.com and ask to buy his hammer spring adjustment tool, unless you have the newer Vulcan which uses a hex wrench to adjust the spring tension. This adjustment is located at the back end of the breech, at the very bottom just above where the stock begins. Clockwise will increase fps, counter clockwise will reduce fps. You need a chrony to do this and know how much increase/decrease you have obtained.
The regulator is inside the air tube. There is a hex screw on the left side of the air tube,near the top, close to the breech. When you loosen this screw, slowly, air will be begin to escape the air tube. When it is completely empty, you remove the four screws from the side plate behind the air tube, located on the side of the breech. After this side square plate is removed, you will see four horizontal silver hex screws below the picatinny rail. These screws crimp the clamps around the shroud and air tube, which holds the air tube in place. After you loosen these screws, the air tube will unscrew counter clockwise, and can be pulled out from the valve threads. At the back of the air tube is a spacer tube, it slides out of the air tube, then the regulator can be slid out…you may have to bump the air tube on a counter to get it to move downward.
The regulator has a screw/bolt on the front end…the end that faces the pressure gauge at the front of the air tube. By rotating this nut/screw clock-wise you can increase the regulated air pressure upwards from it’s base setting of 130 bar. I don’t recommend doing this…air usage goes up and shot count goes down, accuracy likely goes to hell! Likewise, rotating the screw/bolt counter clockwise will lower the regulated bar pressure. Going down to 120 bar will increase your shot count, conserve air pressure, and reduce fps of the pellet. I don’t recommend you do this either. I recommend you leave the damn thing alone. It’s set where it needs to be, and should be left alone until you have determined whether you even want to adjust the pressure setting. Most shooters find 130 bar is just fine.
Putting the assembly back together is doing the opposite of the above. Push the reg, screw/nut end first, then the spacer even with the bottom edge of the air tube. Then carefully screw the valve threads into the air tube, letting it push the spacer and reg back into their proper place.
You will need a 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm metric hex wrench for the little hex screws. Use new ones, and don’t use excessive force tightening the hex screws because the hex screws strip easily…another reason I suggest you don’t do this at this time. The hex wrench that tightens the silver hex screws that tighten the clamp that holds the air tube in place are either 4 mm or 5 mm, I don’t remember which.
That, in a nut shell, is how to adjust the regulator. I don’t recommend you do this!!!
You lack familiarity with the gun, or pcp’s in general, to attempt this adjustment this early. Wait until you are familiar with the working parts, watch some Youtube videos on regulator removal and adjustment before you try this. It’s not as easy as it sounds, and the opportunity to screw something up is very possible. But…you asked.
This kind of effort is called “fuxing” your air gun. “Fuxing” is a combination of “fixing” and “fucking up” your air gun. Generally, you will try to fix/mod your gun, but fuck it up, then sweat blood when you realize you have neither the parts, skill, or knowledge, to get the gun back to it’s original condition. Correcting this situation sometimes requires sending it to Ernest Rowe for repair…which is time consuming, and costs money. It’s safer to send him the gun and let him do any changes, or tuning, to begin with. It’s not free, but it will get done properly.
Send him an email, or Personal Message, and get in line for his “total tune-up”. That way you don’t need to touch something you aren’t familiar with, and it will come back in the best possible state of tune and accuracy you can get for a gun fresh from the factory.
Many times it’s less expensive to spend money to have the work done by an expert, rather than try to save money by doing it yourself!

I send my guns to no one. I only trust myself and hate them all 😉 Mine hasn’t needed any tuning though since it shoots extremely well.
The only thing i’ve done is trigger adjustements. That’s it. Mine is a # 0003 so it’s an veeeery early model being the number 3 ever made to the public.
