RAW Rapid First time RAW owner with some questions

[Raydee38]

I received my .25 RAW Hm1000x yesterday and I have a few questions.

I did a search, and it looks like there are a couple different answers but the 480cc carbon tank says it's good to 250bar but the manual says to only fill to 230bar. It's no big deal to only fill to 230 if that is what the specs call for, but I did see some people that said the reg and the tank can both handle 250bar without a problem.

I ordered a left-hand rifle because I will only be shooting benchrest and wanted the cocking lever on the left side. On the left hand rifles the fill port is actually on the left side of the rifle but I would rather have it on the right side. From the vids I have watched it looks like you can just remove the tank and flip the port and gauge around, so they are on the opposite sides, is that correct?

Last question is what moderator should I go with to quiet this rifle down some? Looking for the best bang for the buck.

What is ssg?

SSG is a Stopping Spring Guide.....usually a captured spring assembly to help close the valve quicker making a PCP more efficient and usually more quiet. Many pics and info on the web....

and im guessing you wonder how that works ? a spring at rest will always have some bounce back , so if you put it in a devise that pre loads the spring you loose that bouncy part of the spring that makes the hammer bounce back n forth re opening the valve after the pellet is long gone,

Hi Thomas, yes you can remove the bottle, then remove the v-block with the gauge on it (capture the spring inside that holds the fill check valve in place), then flip the v-block around, reinstall it and put your finger inside to compress the full check valve spring so that it goes on the outside of the regulator body. Then reinstall the bottle. Presto.
I really like the Impulse Air silencers. In back to back testing with many other silencers, I have seen a reduction in group size at 50 and 100yds, and they are quiet.

SSG = Spring Stop Guide.
This device does an excellent job in removing hammer bounce, thereby improving efficiency/shot count.
