Slow regulator recovery on Maverick

I have a problem with Fx Maverick Sniper which is more of a crunch.
1. Regulator 150 Bar
2. Regulator 110 Bar
The manometer, which drops to 100 Bar in 2-3 shots, reaches 110 bar in a very long time. Affects projectile velocity.
The rifle hasn't even fired a new 100 shots yet.
Does the regulator recover as the number of shots increases or is there a problem?
 
And just shoot the gun. Give it a chance to break in. When you get 500-1,000 shots and have recovery issues, then start a topic. Should all regs have fast recovery right out of the box? Yes. But mass production and demand throw a wrench in that. It’s a shame but if you want a gun to work properly right out of the box, this is what I do the second I take them out of the box. It’s amazing what horrors and things that need cleaned up in brand new guns. In your case you would probably have to do a little work on the washers in your second reg and make sure it’s not dry.

I've sent emails where needed. Let me try to pass the 500-1000 shot break-in time until the return comes.
It makes sense to make regulators work harder. 1 regulator 180 bar 2. How about I make the regulator 140 bar.

Reg 1- 170 bar
Reg 2- 130 bar

34 Shots with GN Solid. power level 7
I think the hammer kissed and sniffed the valve

Shots became stronger and more stable as hammer tension increased.
The Fx Radar stays sideways and is much more sensitive to barrel angles. Tomorrow I will share 50 shots much more carefully.

Popi,
My Maverick Sniper had the same problem, slow recovery after each shot (2-3 min!!!), even after 8 months. After watching Steve's AEAC Maverick video and seeing his refresh was 3 seconds I new I had a problem. After contacting FX, I was sent a reg rebuild kit under warranty. In the meantime I took reg #2 out and noticed it was not assembled properly from the factory according to a re-build video by Newman @910 airguns. My post of it is here.

Tuning - Maverick regulator dilemma solved!

History. After learning much about regulators concerning my Impact MKI upgraded to an MKII having Huma replacements. That is in and of itself a BIG story…And it gets bigger with the MKII gen3. I’ll leave it at that. Dreamline AMP is simple and easy as is the Wildcat MK3, pretty much the same...

I used the new kit and my recovery times was now on par with Steve's @ around 3 seconds.
I hope your solution is a simple one.
