AEA HP Max in Europe has a regulator!?

Yes.No matter how much pressure the compresssor pumped,the gauge didnt move.I then took the gun apart.There was a internal regulator that needed to be reomved.Once done,it filled to maximum pressure.

sorry for the late response, you did it right.
Where you put a single screw in the tapped hole, i put 3 headless screws with mastic kit to close it under tension.
Like this you don't have to use the tube inside to close the hole, which is open after you remove the regulator.
Did you also open the valve seat? The restricted ones have a smaller airflow, page 2 Harolds post.
You can cut it of and drill the hole bigger, or you can buy the full power version with the bigger hole.

Hi Bas,thanks for replying.I replaced the valve with the unrestricted one, that was supplied with gun.However, it took me a while to figure out why it didnt fill.Then i found the regulator! I installed a foster valve same as you.However it still wouldnt fill.I eventually removed it,then put a cap head bolt in the hole instead.I use the fill probe,and it filled>
A word of warning though.I bought a supressor from DonyFl.It arrived today,but it would not screw down.I then realised these are made for USA models.They have a narrower air reciever.The Euro ones are thicker,and therefore the air tank protudes past the barrel end.I had to make a spacer on lathe to push supressor 3/4 mm further out.

If you want to use the foster valve, you have to make sure that the delrin o-ring has a big enough hole. Maybe you have to make the hole in the delrin o-ring a bit bigger, so ghe foster valve is not crushing it in and the small hole is blocked.

This is how mine looks today. Powdercoated barrel and muzzle brake, QD in the pistol grip and a Laser for in the Garden.

I am planning to shorten the barrel about 2 inches so the muzzle brake ends at the end of the gas tube.
My barrel is around 14 inches and can take muzzle brakes or silencers whitout adapters on the European version.
Maybe someone in The Netherlands with a 13 inch barrel is interested in a barrel swap before I put it in the lathe?

I have a DonnyFL Ronin M18x1 for sale as I'm planning to shorten the barrel.
The silencer is filled with stainles steel wool to accommodate the pressure, and gives more efficiency.
Price, 100 euro unnegotiable.

Huma makes a regulator for the "two gauges and a vent hole" version so maybe that's the way to go.

The Huma regulator is around 100 euro and the AEA FAC kit is around 50 euro, I spent around 8 euro to make it FAC.
Meanwhile I shortened the barrel to 11 inch length, so the muzzle brake is almost flush with the gastank.
Pictures will follow when the barrel and muzzle brake are back from the powdercoater.
Still have an as good as new DonnyFL Ronin m18x1 for sale, because I can not use it anymore.
For shooting in the garden I make a sound kill box, which works much better than a silencer.
On the shooting range is no need for a silencer, and you can just unleash the bark of the beast.
Now it looks a bit like the Bin Tac M50 pistol, bit longer barrel and full size gastank.

i am not sure if it is, but if your rifle has a chocked barrel you just made a serious downgrade.

No choked barrel on AEA guns.
Shooting slugs out of a choked barrel?
Beside, I do whatever I want with my properties.
