So I have a relatively new Kral Puncher Jumbo that I wanted to put a Huma regulator on. I received the regulator yesterday and installed it on the gun per the instructions. I hooked the gun up to my also new compressor and filled it up. As soon as I stopped the compressor the Huma gauge on the regulator not the gun immediately began losing pressure? I figured something was obviously leaking so I grabbed some soapy water mix and sprayed around all of the connections. I could not find a single leak anywhere? I tried this several times de-gassing the gun and refilling it only to have the reg pressure gauge lose pressure immediately after stopping the compressor at 200 BAR? I thought that maybe the gauge was faulty so today I installed a brand new Sekhmet digital gauge on the regulator. I filled the gun and once again the same behavior with the digital gauge. It immediately lost pressure and settled at about 152 BAR without losing any additional pressure? I am at a complete loss as to what is going on here? I can't find any leaks anywhere and believe me I tried a ton. So where is the air going or is there some other strangeness going on that I am not aware of being that this is my first PCP gun? I sent an email to Huma but it is the weekend so I assume nobody is going to get back to me until tomorrow at the earliest. I recorded a video today of what it is doing and uploaded it to my Dropbox the link is below.

Well just in case anyone has the same issue and goes searching for an answer here is what Huma had to say about the issue.

"What sometimes seems to happen is that the thick oring that seals between the regulator and the bottle will partially also seal on the threads and pressure reaches the bottle slower than it should. That way the collar will pressurize more than what is actually reaching the bottle. What you could try is instead of the supplied 17x3 oring is to use a 18x2,5 oring between bottle and collar."

I am going to order some o-rings from McMaster Carr today and install them tomorrow.
