I wish mine was regulated, but 10 minutes in I decided this was beyond me. Thanks though

Superb video Jake, many thanks for taking the time to put it together. I've been searching for a video like this on the Akela & there seem to be none, certainly not to this detail.

Thanks, I always look for a disassembly video before I buy a rifle, couldn't find one one the Akela, but happy to be the first on KZread. Thanks for watching.

Excellent video my friend! Awesome attention to detail. I was unaware how well built this rig is! Thank you for sharing the importance of shortening the hammer spring.

Thanks for the video series! I ordered the .177 Akela yesterday during the Black Friday sale at Benjamin. I like bullpups due to my lower back issues, and sure a little TLC and it will be a great shooter.

Nice one Jake. A great video. I've followed your guide exactly & my rifle performs exactly as you describe. My hammer adjuster anti tamper was not nearly as kind, left handed drill got me nowhere. A word of warning to some people (if yours is a pain like mine was) I ended up drilling it out completely & putting a helicoil in there.

Nice one, glad you got it sorted and the vids were helpful

there is also a small grub screw next to the filler port to drain the air from it if you dont want to touch the gauge

I greatly appreciate you doing this video. The Akela needed a good video on what to fiddle with to make it better. On the other hand, shame on you for NOT reading the manual provided with the air rifle. Had you read the manual you would have known about the bleed screw at the front of the reservoir.

I bought this rifle today and am looking forward to installing a regulator. Wonderful and detailed disassembly and very informative content. Thank You. I subscribed and looking for more.

Hi There, Great video. I've just purchased an Akela, poor delivery guy hasnt got back to the shop and its in Bits..JUST FOUND the new style anti tamper screws and they arent plastic but look like a snap off grub screw,did manage to get 1 out with a sharp pointy stick ,the other one will need a small drill to make a locating hole for a little grip. Just to let you guys know in case this on your to do list. Thanks .Roger

Superb video cheers. Can I ask a question please. I have an Akela purchased just a few weeks ago. I have put no more than 50 shots through it. I left it alone for a week while I was away. I have returned and found there is play between the stock and metal parts. Pivoting around the stock screw that travels up through the stock. I am sure it was rock solid previously, as it is really noticeable even just taking to the shoulder. My hand on the stock can easily push up cyclinder. It must have moved by 2-3mm. I have gradually tightened the stock screw and the play has lessened. I am now at the max of the screw. If I go further I feel I will be in big trouble and cross thread it. The play has gone and we are back to normal. I am just concerned why it would have loosened so much doing nothing. Any issue with this in your experience or thoughts why it may have happened? Many thanks

Do you happen to have a part number for the Lane regulator? Or a link?

🤔 Oooo so that's my problem ,,,my gun is very loud at the back end of the hammer ,,,,my spring is to tight and I can't get it adjusted to do good groups ,,,,,is there a video on how to modify the spring ,,,,,I'm sure mine is tight or long ❤

Hello.... What lenght and thread size are the two barrel grub screws ? ..... Thanks

Is it possible to fit the reg without cutting the standard hammer spring?

How would one get around the issue of the akela's pressure gauge no longer reading actual fill pressure, and instead now reading the reg pressure? Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. I do not trust my hand pump gauge. I assume a qd gauge between the akela and my pump would be the answer but I don't see a ton of $20 rigs already addressing this issue on ebay or amazon.

I have a brand new Akela. After getting blasted in the face with a couple of shots I noticed that the power adjustment knob had wandered it's way out the other side. I was able to get it back in alignment but it keeps trying to work it's way out. Is there any way that I can secure this and still with to be adjustable?

can the power adjuster be pulled out without a complete takedown to change its o-rings?

Hello, I have a leak at the connector for loading the rifle. By dismantling I have the valve system with the seal in it, but if I tighten the connection fully the air from the compressor no longer enters the rifle. Is there a spacer or other piece between the fitting and the small gasket at the bottom of the threaded hole? THANKS

Before you actually purchase the reg, make sure you can remove the valve cylinder end assembly. Mine is stuck fast. No amount of heating or torque will shift it. Good luck mate!

здравствуйте вопрос такой после устоновки регулятора манометр показывает давление резервуара или за редукторное давление ?

hi could you do a Beeman 1358 strip-down and mod video, please I can't find one anywhere thanks from a big fan in the UK .

Must have a problem with mine as this morning noticed all air gone on the gauge, been wanting to fit a regulator and came across an anti tamper screw whilst trying to take the cylinder off. Ffs 😢 why anti tamper there (uk model) anti tamper for hammer spring as well. Anyone have any simple suggestions or know anyone who would be able to fit etc. north east UK. Thanks all

I'm having nothing but problems but come to the conclusion that in leaking at the transfer port and end of the exhaust too looks like the little oring on the exhaust is clipped so I need to find oring that size anyone have a clue

Good afternoon, where can I see sealing ring sizes?

Awesome video really helps a lot! I am though, unable to remove the valve cylinder end. Tried heat, vice, hammer( percussion) etc!!! I am getting workout...but I can feel the tears welling up. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance.

@@sub12airgunners Cheers. At least it still works having re-assembled for the time being. I discovered that its best to have the safety set to 'on/safe' before tightening the trigger assembly, back on to the cylinder. If you don't, then it wont tighten and you risk shearing the bolt, and then having to source a box set of m3 hex bolts like I did! 😅 Funnily enough, I managed to get the front fill end off! Sods law eh?

What was the original TP size you drilled out in the valve housing? If I decided to increase my Akela's TP without a reg and shorten the hammer spring to prevent as much hammer bounce, obviously I can't drill it to 2.8mm because I wouldn't be running at reg pressure of 85bar. I'm running at an average of about 170bar so to keep my power down I'd only need a tiny amount off the TP so if the original is 1.5mm then I'd go to 1.8mm which should be enough. Depends what the original hole size is. Thanks.

to be honest the 3 i have worked on have all been different but the last one was 1.5mm but it is a brass insert so you can drill it out and start again if you needed to 😁

Its not that sophisticated I am afraid, normally we just cut a coil off at a time depending on power and how much pre load we have on the spring it pays to have a spare so you can cut it down and try it out. Thanks for watching.

I have a .177 Akela and a .22 Cayden. It seems that if you want to convert the Cayden to .177, you need just the .177 barrel and the .177 cocking arm / probe - do you agree? To make it look nice you can use the 2 pieces of the shroud over the barrel. Would that work to convert the Cayden to .177, or am I missing something?

don't the Caydon but most guns it's just a barrel and pellet probe to convert them 👍
