Not...at all, clear !

What...exactly...are you pointing to ?
The big brass "screw", or the smaller set screw that is part of the cocking mechanism ?

Got yah.
Be sure to dump all of the pressure, before you "lower" the pressure.

I also lower mine in most cases. I normally use 95 to 100 Bar. I adjust my guns to shoot 800fps to 825fps .

So, i srudied both of the tuning vids above, lookin at 230 in the bottle, raised the second reg to 130, degassed it again per instructions, put the bottle bak on with 190 bar in the bottle, raised the first reg to 165 (30-40 power diff between em). Power wheel bak to sevn… results terrible, less range, less “smack”. I did somethin wrong im sure but… anybody?

“DONT PANIC!” . . figgered it out! Cant figure out why 130 in the second rig, isnt usin more air thanit was at 120. Even rolled the hammer adjust in power wheel quarter turn ccw after. Shoots fine, just can shoot more mags. Do you pro’s all take extra air and fill as need? I have to take one bottle “load“ of mags and come back to the barnfor more air and reload. Dont wanna shoot it under reg press. . . Again. Thanks men
