I just got a HuMa regulator and Rapid Air Weapon carbon fiber buddy bottle for my R10 and ran a shot string. Wow, it gets a lot of shots!!

That is an odd looking shot string do most regulated guns have what looks like two plateaus where the shots are very consistent. Never seen one that did that.

No, most regulated guns don't have two plateaus. That is literally the first 100 shots. I suspect the drop has to do with the regulator settling in. I'm going to do another string after a few hundred pellets.

Lol...
That made me laugh!!What a shot count!!
You've really turned that into one Great Rig Craig!!
One of these days I really need to call martin and get me one of those CF Bottles.

Oh man now you got me thinking.
So did use the stock bottle valve or get a new one?
Great work on the gun!

BSA and Theoben / R.A.W have the same valve thread. The bottle came with the valve. I needed to inlet the stock and remove some material from the bottom of the "toaster rack" as they call it in England. Once that was done it just threaded right in.

Thanks Craig
So I'm guessing that you fill that monster up with a tank. I am reluctant to go bigger with a hand pump, but 100 would be awesome.

I don't have any pictures of the reg itself but, all I did was watch th follwoing video and then started to take the rifle apart. It was a very easy process.

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to clarify some issues with using a different bottle other than factory. With Craig's gun , I was able to pinpoint the problem to the valve of the Raw bottle (although they are similar to BSA) and the BSA bottle connection. The bottle valve was not opening completely and thus not allowing proper free flowing of air from bottle to reg. I tested the reg several times in the regulator tester that I have and the performance of the Huma BSA R-10 regulator was flawless. That made me to think of what might be causing this. What really lead me to the problem was a squeaky noise from the gun every time I took a shot. It was quite loud. Immediately I knew it was the bottle connection and not the reg since the noise was coming from the bottle connection. I adjusted the pin on the BSA bottle connection to allow more free flow to the reg/valve. The results speak for themselves. the Gun and reg operated perfectly as it should. So for all you out there doing a bottle conversion please take note that the bottle should have free flow and not be restricted in any way. Allow the reg to do all the pressure regulating and not the bottle or bottle connection. Thanks!
I also want to throw this out there....The regulator in any gun has only one job...and that is to regulate the pressure from a high pressure vessel to the gun valve at a lower pressure. If the regulator does just this, then it is operational. If it can repeatedly do this over and over again without flaw...then you have a good regulator. When resolving issues with regulators if a person can eliminate the regulator as the problem, then finding a solution just got one step easier. That is exactly what I did with Craig's gun. I tossed the Huma regulator in the tester and found that it was completely operational and was not at fault. I moved on too the bottle
hope this helps someone doing these conversions!

Looks great. Question for you on bottles though. I saw Evanix has a bottle with an extended piece on one end for should slings. Any advice or experience with one of those?

Hi there,
I have not personally used one of those sling adapters, so I don't know what to expect from them. Any pics of one? the R10 has factory sling studs on it...why not just use them?

"I saw Evanix has a bottle with an extended piece on one end for should slings. "
Hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong but, I "thought" the nub up front on the evanix bottle was/is to hook into a band on the evanix offering support to the bottle. NOT to put a sling on. "I" wouldn't want to put that type stress on an HPA bottle/neck/fitting.
Also if it mattered to anyone (and maybe they've changed by now?) the evanix CF bottle is NOT US DOT approved/rated where as the RAW bottle does have the proper DOT inspections/markings.

Yes it will! The Huub shroud that is on it has a larger O.D. then the factory and it fits just fine. The factory shroud will fit with no problems at all.

Real Nice -- I like---
But, I am going to leave my .22 R10 alone.
My gun is shooting way to nice to be changing any of it...
Could use a nice looking moderator for it...

Shoot me a PM. I'll let you know where I got this Huggett (see original post for more pics). Also, my gun was shooting very, very, good in stock trim. I was hesitant to change anything. But, it shoots just as accurate now with the shorter barrel. I only lost FPS / FPE.

I was wondering if I wanted to make my bsa r10 to shoot at 40 fpe, will it still be accurate ?
what about long term, will the internals be able to withstand it or will i break something ?
Note:
My bsa have a carbon fibre bottle and a Huma reg.
