Do you tinker with the reg or just the HST? How many fps do you shoot at? Will it shoot faster than you like to shoot?

So I resurfaced the face of the adjuster in the reg and put her all back together and first three shots 922, backed it down on the HSA to 900ish and fired about 10 times into my crony all between 899 and 902.

On the video once it was all the way in touching the punch you said it was like 138 bars or something like that. How could that be if you then turn it CCW 1/6 of a turn and the pressure goes down?

Just a quick question, did Ernest vent your shroud and also do you know at how many FPS you are shooting at now? Also, how many shots are you getting from a fill and to how many bar are you filling? Did he install a depinger? Sorry I guess that was five questions.
Ernest is the man, a wealth of knowledge and a master air gunsmith!
