I'd like to get an unregulated version of the Daystate Huntsman Revere in .22 caliber so that it has the foster fitting, instead of the probe. Then I'd add a Huma regulator myself to have both regulated and foster fitting, but I can't find the unregulated version in .22. I live in the US. I've looked at AOA's offerings, but this version isn't listed. Does another source in the US exist?
Daystate Where To Get Daystate Huntsman Revere Un-Regulated in .22?
- Thread starter Coors
- Start date
Thank you for your replies. Is changing the front fitting less expensive than buying the reg? Great, I'll call AOA to see what they have.

Here is a .177 in the classified that claims to be regulated but no detail about that in the ad. I have a Regal in .20 and am thoroughly satisfied with its performance without a regulator.

If your intention is to have a regulate Revere 22 it makes the most sense to me that you buy the regulated version
Doing so you then have a fill pressure gauge and a regulated pressure gauge.
When adding a Huma reg to the unregulated gun your gauge will only show you the reg pressure.
Much less practical IMO than eliminating the need for a fill probe.
Just curious!
But I'd like to understand why you are so dead set against having to use one
Just my 2 scents

Fill probes are just another thing that I might forget when going to the range or the field and though I've never lost one yet that might be because I've never had a pcp that used one.

Looking at the Daystate website and the distributor websites, it can be inferred that the unregulated versions are being discontinued. Can't confirm that, but it seems that way.
Recommend you simply embrace the fill probe instead of undertaking such a project, which may now involve having to buy a second-hand gun, anyway. Fill probes are really not that bad. I have a mix of both fosters and fill probes. I simply keep the fill probes in a tiny organizer box and have never managed to forget them, lose them, etc. Buy 2 or 3 of them if you are worried about it, and keep one in your vehicle and another one in your gun bag. They are not expensive and last a life time with only needing to occasionally replace the o-rings.

Thank you for the sage advice. You're right. I've avoided the fill probe for no other real reason except that I've read others say that it's problematic. I do like saving money too, where I can. I do appreciate your help in overcoming this whole thing with your excellent insight!

I've never had a problem with the Revere fill probe. If you buy an unregulated rifle and then add a regulator, you may end up spending about the same amount of money, and you will have eliminated a portion of your resale market. Most folks prefer to buy a used rifle that has not been modified in any way.
