Hey guys

Need some help I am setting up a brand new panthera and noticed when I adjust the regulator pressure to 150 or above it starts to leak and bleed air around the regulator adjustment….. where my finger is pointing…. From what I understand that isn’t normal but wanted to see if I’m missing something before I send this gun back to Utah airguns to be fixed it states doing this the second I shot it for the first time and adjusted the regulator pressure…. Any help would be awesome


Thanks

Sounds like you need to rebuild the regulator, the O rings inside the regulator housing have given out.

Yep. Sounds like a bad oring on the reg adjustment screw. I had that happen to my Impact after several years of use. Wasn’t that bad of a job to replace the orings. If yours is new though and under warranty might as well send it back. Don’t be discouraged though. The Panthera is an awesome rifle. I have one and really like it a lot.

Yeah it was the first shoot session of the gun so kinda sucks but it’s all good I can send it back

Not meant wrong in any way, have one myself, but If you have a Panthera or pretty much anything recently made by FX you will do yourself a favor by learning how to service them yourself, otherwise there's a half decent chance you end up having the gun sent out more than you actually get out and shoot it...

You're looking at replacing o ring(s) number 7 as seen on on page 5, which go on part 8 found on that same page;


You'll find out how to degass these on youtube.

Great advice for sure. Hopefully your hand eye skill is better than mine. I found the amp reg an utter nightmare to work on. They will all fail at some point so that skill is a good one to develop. Still trying to decide myself to hang in there or completely break away from the platform. My last FX has 2 amp regs and the future gives me nightmares thinking about 2 to deal with. Lol
