And according to Bob Sterne, you can get away with .50-.60cc to 1 fpe if you increase reg. pressure 10%.

Absolutely true and on a bottle gun it's not a big deal. On a tube gun, you've given up space to the reg and then, by increasing reg pressure, you've also given up usable pressure range, and it hurts shot count even more. Everything has tradeoffs. If it were me, and I was set on a Daystate, then I'd shoot for just a tad less power and reg the gun for better shot count.

Pretty much all of us saying the same thing
The Revere us a no muss- no fuss gun.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Enjoy Kirk!
And report back, please

Yup, understanding what tradeoff’s you can accept defines the “Art of Tinkering”.
Unfortunately, my German heritage (Tinkering Gene) doesn’t allow me to leave anything OEM very long

Yeah, I mostly have it at this point
.I‘m waiting for Motörhead to chime in -> He certainly knows what can be done and what reasonably should be done, if anything

First off, with the Slingshot Hammer System, no SSG is needed. Also, with this system and power level, you really aren’t going to see a benefit from installing a regulator. If you do install a reg, you’re going to need to open your ports and retune to get the power you are looking for.
Great gun just how it comes!

I just wish it had a transfer port adjuster cause shooting the light weight 7-8s, they are zipping along pretty fast.

You can get a smaller TP bushing from AOA, drops right in. Also, the hammer spring can be adjusted down some, might be enough to give you what you want.

No need for an SSG with these guns. These have a slingshot hammer, when adjusted properly it keeps over dwell from happening.
Depending in which size your tank is 60-75 shots could be doable.
The hammer spring needs to be chopped, its too long for the regulated valve pressures.

I must have misunderstood this to be an adjustment of spring tension, as it seemed to adjust in the same manner. By turning it clockwise I was able to slightly increase velocity.

Thanks Kerndtc,
Adjusting/chopping the hammer spring is almost standard, tuning procedure.
So, are you saying this gun is best regulated?
- Or, the OEM valve operates as if it’s close to a regulated gun.
- Or something different?
Also, thanks to everyone else for adding good information on the Revere/Regal.

I was wanting something a little more adjust on the fly to plink with light pellets vs removing the upper half and dropping in a smaller transfer sleeve.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as I’ve made multiple transfer ports out of brass on my lathe. It’s a great semi-permanent solution, but not something you want to do often.
You don’t know how many parts I’ve had to look for on the floor with a flashlight

Then you probably don't want a Daystate. The FX adjustamatics are marketed to fit this need. The Daystate rifles are good, solid designs, and I much prefer them, but many others like the versatility of turning dials and screws. Each to his own, it's all out there.

That something is any of the BRKs (except the Ghost), they have “on the fly” TP adjusters… A very handy feature and Daystate is BRKs parent company…

For the most part, once you find the sweet spot (tune) you prefer …. Don’t mess with the gun. Attempting Multiple tunes on the same set-up is usually problematic as they can conflict with each other.
I’ve spent hours chasing a perfect tune (I once had), but thought I could improve upon ….…..only to realize, it’s most often an exercise of Total Frustration -> Stop and just shoot ….
