How do I go about getting my new pressure gauge parallel with my gun while installing?
How to level pressure guage

Depends on the method of sealing. I assume a thicker o ring would give you a little more indexing adjustability.

we can't see what gun it is or how the gauge is in use,,, those elec gauges you were looking at seal at the bottom with a nylon/delrin type seal.
the ocd in a person will drive them nuts with Sekhmet gauges,, oh crap the gauge says 129 bar and I want 130 bar
the ocd in 'me' wants stuff to line up and be dead nuts
if it is out on the end , "some guns" , you can turn the fill port to make the gauge level out,,,, remove pressure first before turning fill port

Amen brother.
The way i got my Sekmet installed on the bottom of the Two, is aligned just finde with the writing parralel to rifles center line length wards, but i had to flip the writing in the settings to fit the way i tilt the rifle when i want to see what i got.
The Huma REG on the rifle are pretty sweet so i am always dead bang on the pressure i want, at least initially if i look a while later i might be 1 BAR higher or lower, which i can cope with if things are flying strait.
The gauge are also flush with the bottom of the rifle, but i am a little ticked off the touch sensitive " buttons " i really wish there was a way to lock it, like for instance flashlights that often will need 4 quick clicks in succession to lock / unlock it

Use a x-ring. There include with most gauges like Sekhmet. They don't require much force to seal so you can get them indexed perfectly.

Oh how funny! I'm not the only one with OCD. Drives me nuts if the gauges aren't parallel or upright with the gun. My second wife was worse than I am, she would walk through the garage at night when its pitch black dark in order to keep both three-way light switches in the bottom position.

So I really wish that there was a way that I could send out a group message to everyone who is always so helpful on the site! My wife always makes fun of me (Joking) about asking my friends questions. I really appreciate everyones help and the wealth of knowledge that everyone is so ready to share with everyone! I hope that y'all have a great Christmas and New Year's!! Thanks again!!!!
