Is it the kind of leak that a few twists of the HPR stops it??So I get home after post #357, and my new 25mm digital gauges were in the mail. The ones on there are good, but 28mm and stick out too far.
After depressurizing the breech block, I replaced both bottle and HP plenum pressure gauges. I left the LP gauge factory.
When I pressurized the block - surprise - the HP reg leaked through the middle as it has done about 3 or 4 times in the past. It hasn’t done that in quite a while since I replaced the Polyurethane orings with BunaN, but leaky is back. Hard to be disappointed the way it’s shooting in .30 caliber. Might have done well at the NAC, but that’s kinda far from San Diego.
Could be the poppet seal inside the reg as mentioned above on MFE 105. You can pull out MFE107 then pressurize and if still leaking its probably from the poppet seat per SKOUT or turn it in to reseat and then reset desired pressure. You can get 9006 apart but will need some non-marring plyers and an allen key in the end. Once apart the o ring can be replaced but I believe SKOUT would just send you new poppet as well.So I get home after post #357, and my new 25mm digital gauges were in the mail.

No. I took it apart, cleaned and regreased everything, and it’s fine now. I hope it lasts through the Oregon event. I’ll do it again before RMAC. Plus I have a spare reg both HP and LPIs it the kind of leak that a few twists of the HPR stops it??
Did the leak stop when you replaced 9009 ?
..I have a feeling the problem is o-ring 9006, but seems impossible to replace.
So what barrel length are you actually using then?You don’t need to send it in to Skout. All you do is install an FX Superior liner in the Outer housing you order from Skout. Choose your length, 700mm, 600mm, whatever. Easy day.
As far as depressurizing the gun between uses I don’t, but Augie @Bigragu does. I’m gun shy doing that since it bit me in the ass in December 2023 when I brought the gun to the Orlando EFT GP and the LP reg failed when I pressurized the gun the morning of the competition.
I’ll live with a 200 to 300 psi drop daily, not a big deal.
700 mm .30 caliber 1:40 twist FX Superior liner.So what barrel length are you actually using then?
Is it still performing like it did earlier in the year.700 mm .30 caliber 1:40 twist FX Superior liner.
Yes. It’s as accurate as they come. I shoot the AEA 45s at about 905 fps. Good enough to be competitive at the major Pro level.Is it still performing like it did earlier in the year.
I’m thinking of doing this setup to an EVO.
So I’m a little confused. Ive read that to use the fix barrels on the scout you have to send the barrel in and they have to modify it to make it work, is that true? If so what did you have to do? Also are you able to use a moderator with the setup? ThanksYes. It’s as accurate as they come. I shoot the AEA 45s at about 905 fps. Good enough to be competitive at the major Pro level.
No, you buy a barrel assembly for the length and caliber of FX liner you want. They send it to you and you install the liner. Easy day. Yes, you can use the factory mod or your own with a DonnyFL adaptor.So I’m a little confused.
