I took mine out today to shot, and I had the hammer spring cut so it was about 1/2 turn in and was shooting 935fps. It was now shooting 920 or so. I turned the hammer spring gradually, and shot , in all the way until it would not cock and it would not shoot above 925 or so. I have a reg. tester and checked that, and it was about 149BAR steady. I put in a new uncut hammer spring, the one I had in I had to cut about a 1 1/2 coils off to get it slowed down to where I wanted it. Didn't make any difference, and it ( looks like) when I shoot it, there is alot of air coming out of the rifle, I think more that is normal. I'm thinking the valve is bad...and opinions or advice ?Thanks for any advice.
 
Pellets or slugs? Weight? The 22 cal is normally factory tuned for the 25 monster pellets. My 22 cal is tuned for Jumbo redesigns at 945 fps approx.

Ive already had the gun gone thru by Martin and bought all the orings and have replaced a couple of leakers. Just need some advice on if it could be the valve, not a whole lot of stuff to go wrong on a RAW. One thing about Martin, he is always there to answer questions and give his advice...not a whole lot of that going around these days.

Well THANKS guys, just THANKS! 😬

Got my .22 caliber HM1000x a couple of weeks ago. Mid winter here and everything is frozen solid, it'll be months before I can get out to shoot.

Looking at groups like that is driving me nuts! 🤪

But keep it up anyway! LOL!

Cheers!

Nice, very nice!

I prefer wood, natural with a lot of figure in the grain. I've come to appreciate laminated stocks as well. Had to settle on a chassis for my HM1000x, that was all that was available and was not willing to wait months for a new shipment of them.

Not a big deal, the chassis works just fine for bench shooting and I'll make a custom wood stock when the weather warms up enough to thaw everything in my workshop.

Nice ones Ross!

Does the Marksman thread directly on th the HM1000x without any sort of adapter?

I'm thinking of swapping the 700 cc Marksman on my Panthera (presently 700 + 300 cc configuration) with the 480 cc on the HM1000x to give me 780 on the Panthera and 700 on the HM1000x to even out the capacities.

Like the blue Z-axis table you're using, looks a lot better that the repurposed bottle-jack I've use. Mind me asking where you got it?

Cheers!

Yes the Air Marksman screwed on. Had to move the valve from the old bottle over to the new, but that was no sweat. The rear jack stand came from Amazon — https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q98PRTP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Those chasis frames are becoming popular for sure. I might have gotten one when I bought my RAW, if they were available then. I have not to talent or tools to make a wood stock like another member stated.

I gravitate toward them because they accept after market parts like stock, etc. I like making mine fit what I want it to be, not what someone else thinks I should have. Both rifles shoot well from the bench, where I use them exclusively.

Well I called Martin, and found out my reg. pressure was to low. Adjusted the regulator and all is well with my RAW. I replaced the reg. Orings awhile back but never touched to reg. Adjustment. Martin set it for me a few years ago, when he tuned and serviced it, but I guess as time goes by the beveled washers need to be compressed slightly to keep it where it needs to be ?
