I know it is quite a bit of information lol but I have already watched his video and have adjusted the hammer spring but did not seem to change i got the gun used from someone and had a few minor issues which I have fixed but am unsure if there are severe issues with it but does not seem to have a leak but we will see today after work I will check it.

Slowly Increase your HST ( hammer spring tension ) until your fps no longer increases, then back it off a hair to where fps is about 97% of what it was, as others have mentioned this is the most likely solution, however there could be other issues at play here.
Once you achieve the above, report back if the issue persists (also if it doesn't consider it as solved)...also if you need help with the above members with mavericks should be glad to help, especially if one were local to you, your location isn't known so that is currently not possible (entirely up to you to share or not).

I will definitely work on it and check and see what will happen if I get it figured out or not I will report back to you guys and thank you very much and in the case I am not able to figure it out I may tell where I am located

The previous owner could have changed the hammer weight or a stiffer HS or something else. Did he tell you of any mods or what weight ammo he was using ? If it was messed up when you got it there could be more issues from the previous owners work . You might need to identify what your working with and start from square one . Checking your 1st reg pressure. Start with 85-90 on the 2nd reg . I leave my first around 150-160 and never been over 110b on the 2nd . At 108b it pushes 25.3g at 915 fps . But that's with a 13.2g hammer , only mod and using the slug port . They are good shooters when tuned correct . Good luck .

Oh I don’t know about that, I spent several pleasant hours fixing a members regulator. With face time it would be moderately easy to go step by step. The key is you need tools and parts.

Question have you tried different pellets? My guns, all love AEA’s a lot. It could very well be the gun hates the pellets. SO many possibilitie.

Should be reverse order, start with HST all the way OUT not IN, then increase it slowly until the fps reaches the max, and back out a hair...if this doesn't help, well you still tuned it properly for HST, and then you need to look elsewhere for the cause of erratic fps.

If you reg is not opening, or are slow, I would try lower the regpressure . For 16 grain pellets you do not need 100 bar or more. Since the Maverick has a very big plenum, the reg can in some cases "stick", if you use to high pressure compared what is needed. If you tune the gun following some guidelines, where regpressure and hammer force is balanced, the reg will work better, as there will be some more pressure drop in the plenum between each shot.

Sorry if I derailed the thread by asking about the chronograph. It doesn't matter what chronograph you are using as long as you trust the readings it gives you.
