I filled it and shot for a few fills and put it away and the next day it was empty again. I was fuming, but after the next fill it never leaked again. I think the valve if not seated perfectly, or if there is even a tiny bit of debris on it will leak. Glad you got it figured out.

I would like to add one. I have seen it discussed on scuba forums. I just had a gun serviced and was told there was a lot of moisture in the cylinder. Now I’m worrying if my filter/dryer is working. I guess I’d better tear down one of my guns that has only ever been filled by my tank and see.

It acts like it. The regulator does work though, just not if I let it sit for more than a few minutes between shots. Once I hit 150 bar, the velocity does tend to drop off fairly rapidly.

First of all, I am backed out as far as I can without the adjuster flying off the back of the gun. The o-ring on the hammer spring adjuster is completely exposed. Secondly, I can turn the adjuster in several complete turns and the velocity does not change one bit. Something is definitely…Read more

If I shoot a couple more quickly, they are back down. Then if I wait five minutes and shoot one, that shot will be high again. Either the seat or an inner o ring is leaking the higher pressure air into the “regulated” chamber.

If it does not help you can contact ATG.
Does the air escape from the airtube hole placed between regulator orings?

No, that’s why I think it’s going to be an inside the reg o ring. Thanks for the reply.

Does anyone have an opinion as to what is causing the regulator to allow the pressure to creep up? I am hoping it is an o-ring, but if it is the seat, I’m going to have to get AT to come to the rescue. I haven’t tried to depressurize the air tube and look at it yet. I wish I had a reg tester, but it is definitely letting…Read more

I just did that yesterday but haven’t had a chance to shoot it afterwards yet. I now find I have a problem with regulator creep on the vulcan as well.

My air arms s500 and none of my spring guns do. It’s not parallax, the pattern is completely repeatable on both guns, but the pattern is different. The cricket starts high and left, migrates to poa then migrates high and right in a u shape…Read more

Not to mention that the pattern on this gun happens every fill the same way. I think it would be harder to make the patterns move that way deliberately every time by changing my…Read more

They leave behind just a slight amount of oily feeling water. Not much at all and I really don’t notice any color to it. I wipe it up with a yellow towel, so maybe that masks the color. If I remember, the oil that came with the unit was a deep green color.

However, getting to the regulator and changing it is a daunting process without a reg tester, which I am trying to find and have sent pm’s to the guys on this forum that have made and sold them in the past. From speaking to other PCP tuners, I have been told that increasing how hard the hammer hits the valve will bring the shots…Read more

Nikon 3-9 EFR which is specifically made for airguns is a brilliant scope for under $200 but does not have mil dot or any kind of drop compensating reticle.

I am very happy with the gun and how it shoots now, so I will probably put another thousand pellets through and then see how the regulator is doing. I just wondered about the strange behavior as it came off the reg.

Dunno, don’t speak Russian. I’ll go out to the messy workshop and take a couple of pics this afternoon. Looks just like the online pics. Anything in particular you guys want to see?
