Yes ,if you can fill the Huben w/ a 5000 psi fill. I own a 4 stage Mako compressor . hth34@1200 that’s about 108 fpe! Is this typical for this gun

Second the motion - easy to get over 100FPE out of the .25 K1. I fill to 4500 due to compressor limitations, FYI, and keep the plenum reg set at 18MPa most of the time. I can get 94FPE from JSB 33.95gr just by adjusting the power knob. I can turn it down too - way down to about 6FPE and the Huben still cycles reliably and is really quiet!Yes ,if you can fill the Huben w/ a 5000 psi fill. I own a 4 stage Mako compressor . hth
Hey Alejandro, question for you please. I've got a Huben in .25 and was looking at your belleville washer setup. I had an issue with my Huben never going any higher than about 890fps since I got it. I never thought anything of it and kept it like that. But recently tried to get my fps higher to no avail. LSS, my gun locked up somehow and wouldn't shoot right. Kelly at KraZcool said it was probably needing the belleville washers cleaned, relubed and put back in. When I took it apart I noticed mine had 28, not 30 washers. He said some had that setup. He's sending me two more to make it 30. From what I've been able to interpret is this might have been the culprit of never attaining the speeds I wanted. So my question is, does your setup seem to be the magic mix for better velocity for you? or what have you noticed in benefits from it? Thanks.Hi again folks !!!
I'm getting better from my surgery so I thought...............why not post updates on the Huben thread.......so here we go:
First of all terribly sorry of what happened to you Bigalex, hope you find the spare parts to get the Huben working again.
Second: I'll show you some different arrangements that I've tried on the belleville washers on the regulator (I counted 30 in my rifle) and what are my findings so you can replicate them and see if there's any change.
Understanding my regulator diagram:
This character is the head of the piston, this ))(( the belleville washers and this == the shaft's end of the piston (hope I make myself clear).

My variation that seem to work is : )))(())(())(())((()))((()))(((= please give this one a try and let me know of your results
I also tried 6 other variants but none of them worked well I even tried leaving 2 and 4 washers out without any luck.
I found (at least that's what I think) that with my variant the gauge needle stays in place more consistently than the others.
Let me know your results and update.
