your video is a big help for the airgun community, yhanks

Great videos. Really informative and I imagine I'm not the only one who's appreciative of your time.

Finally the gun i paid for. Thanks again for doing this video and leaving it up to help guys like me. My Gauntlet is pushing 18s close to a grand and my regs at 1350 psi. With a little help of some Halfhill Engineering of course. No after market parts at all. That little reg held it all back because it was only putting out 800 psi. Thanks so much for this long awaited performance.Shooting so good right now and not at multi-pump speeds at K-Mart. You Rock!

That was a great tutorial on adjusting the Ninja regs. We are also big fans of using the SCBA tanks and that is what we designed the Stikman and Cascade Man around:')

Thanks for sharing my man. Your videos feel like a friend filling you in. No bs intro or other crap that has nothing to do with what someone came for. It is appreciated.

I want to thank you for all the info on the Gauntlet and how to tune it. I have a ranch in Georgia and had a rat problem because of the feed I must keep. This rifle is just great and does the job I need it for . I bought it because of your information on it and in the 6 months I own it and your advice I have never had a problem. Thank you again.

I really appreciate your very well documented DIY videos and your hard work is noted in your details! Indy Airgunner

Thanks for the video .Everything is clearly explained.

Thanks for the instructional vid! Thanks to you I was able to order washers and shims, then modify my low pressure regulator to a higher output (1000psi) and my air rifle barrel responded favorably. The higher pressure got rid of my fliers, and tightened up the groups! Thanks again!

Hi Paul, Can I ask what set up you used in your shims to get 1000psi as this is the pressure I would like to achieve?

Great video with some really good info. Very well done.

I almost bought another regulator! Thanks for the info!! Ordered all from McMaster's and excited to try this out. ;)

FYI, using a factory Ninja 13 ci, 3000# tank I was getting 650fps out of a Drozd Blackbird. Altered regulator using 5 pairs of recommended Belleville washers with a single on each end and (1) 0.20” shim, velocity went to 800fps. Don’t have a pressure output gauge to measure pressure. Also noticed new ninja tank regulator has a dab of “silicone” grease on the piston rings. Not petroleum grease. Thx for the video, well done.

wiwww.. i'm new on using regulators and planning to buy ninja PRO V2 for my PCP air rifle... your video is very nice.. very well explained.. i learned a lot from this.. thank you :-)

Gerald Wolfe I wish you luck with Umarex repair service and replacement parts. From my experience with them, they don’t seem to care to deal with the consumers other than our money from our pockets. I sent my gun back to have some issues fixed that got through QC that shouldn’t have but did and the made me buy a new regulator and bottle. The last time I fired the gun before it went to them it was shooting 14.3s @ 770 ish and when they sent it back it shot 667 FPS??? I have no idea what they did but damn sure know what they didn’t. My point is, utilize all the knowledge these guys put out there for us and fix it yourself if you can. In my case all Umarex did was piss me off, say screw the warranty cause it’s pointless.They don’t listen anyway and I ended up making it the way it should have been from the factory. This gun now is pushing 18+ grain pellets at 970 and didn’t take more than 20 minutes with common tools and skills. Considering I spent 20$ in shipping and another 100 for a reg and a tank plus about three weeks waiting. 20 minutes is nothing.

@@heathhalfhill6867 Sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with them! After several emails back and forth I actually got a return label for the tank. After another week or two I got the tank back with a note saying I had over filled it or was too forceful! This was absolutely ridiculous. I used an Umarex hand pump and it was all I could do to get it to 3000 psi and certainly not more! Also they ignored the fact that it burst a week after I filled it! Anyway, they replaced the disk and it didn't cost me anything, but my time. I've had no problems since with it other than the bolt is a real pain and constantly jams pellets!

More power yes , for my Umarex gauntlet 22cal very interesting video, good schooling

This was very informative! Thank you very very much!

Stacking the belville washers in the same orientation will eliminate the spring effect of those washers then adding more shims to increase air pressure will add more working force to the four remaining pares of opposing belville washers there by increasing the potential for spring fatigue. imho

I believe in balance. keep output pressure low enough to be safe be high enough to realize a power gain of hpa. good luck

alex barredo now that you have changed the 1.8 K burst disc to 3K burst disc you must be careful that the gun you're using can handle 3000 pounds of pressure. If the regulator fails the full force of the bottle will be passing into your gun. It could be very dangerous I highly recommend not using a 3K burst disk if your gun cannot handle that kind of pressure. It's much safer to stick with the 1.8 K burst disk.

dont worry sir my airgun valve can handle 3.5k psi , and it is a wellknown airgun maker here in the phils. thanks for your concern

Do the belleville washers act as a spring, or merely a spacer. Have they updated the factory level because I believe it is now 1050(?) psi

Great video and very informative. Where did you get those bottles and shims? Which ninja bottles did you get?

... Oops, I'd already ordered a new reg to resolve a severe power issue on my cutom pcp before remembering this... A little investigation showed my current 850 out reg already has belville washers, so I followed your example and adjusted mine to suit. I'll be refilling and testing my bottle tomorrow and chrony testing the new output to make sure it stays within the UK legal limits. The new reg I ordered will be mated to a new bottle when I get around to ordering one, this will either be used as a spare, or get mated to a second custom pcp I own which I believe suffers with the same power issue >.

So how many washers do you think we can safely install to raise the pressure? I ask because I have a reg that came set at 800psi with no washers in it. I , for shots and giggles but 5 .020 in it and it raised to like 1150psi. So if trying to achieve 1400-1600 psi I'm assuming it would not be ideal or safe to stack that thing up inside to the estimated 3/8" it would need. What are some thoughts on that?

Very useful and informative, but how does psi relate to expected fps?

FYI, that slide check uses the same Orings as the Asa (end of the reg that goes into the gun). They will wear and leak or blow out.

Ok i got it!! Thanks bro..

Thank you for this video! Can you just add 2 or 3 belleville washers to the existing belleville washers to increase the pressure to 1350 - 1400 psi?

So to get a higher output pressure all you had to do is take apart the regulator and reposition those shims? Most HPA tanks are regulated at 800 psi so is there any danger or downside to raising the pressure like this?

Hey, I'm new to this stuff... but I'm wondering why you need to replace the spring with the Belleville washers. Will the modification work by just adding Shims with the original spring in place ? Thanks for taking the time to make the videos on you KZread channel, they've been a great help with my new hobby. Hope this isn't a really stupid question :)

@FreedomAirguns

In theory, if you compress the SAME spring a little more, you won't get too much of a jump in output pressure. Actually, you may not see a change at all and it may deteriorate with time if kept under pressure (memory effect). You should get a tougher spring, which is what the belleville washers do in this case (also known as DISC SPRING).

What is the next size bottle I can take the Gauntlet upto? Oh and still fit the gauntlet case on the air tank?

How many pounds of spring pressure does the Belleville stack equal for its stock 800 psi output?

Thanks for this very informative video. I would like to do this to my Umarex Gauntlet just to bump up my velocity a little. Would this be the same process for the tank on the Gauntlet? Thanks

Scott Rader yes you can but mind you if you have a .177 Gauntlet and Increase the Fps, you then MIGHT need to switch to a heavier pellet than what you use now if you end you seeing accuracy issues. Therefore if that happens you might just be better off leaving it at stock reg settings. Now thats for .177 tho... Now for the .22 Gauntlet it should be a good/positive increase IMO to bring it up 100-200psi seeing as how alot of Gauntlets in .22 are a bit underpowered. Plus even the ones that are not underpowered could still benefit from a small increase. Just test it out. Very Important to have a Cronograph and do just a little adjustments at a time. Dont get crazy with it and try to rush it. You just have to take it slow and easy and keep track of your shims and numbers etc.etc. (((*NOTE: On P.Airs KZread Channel there is a Video showing how to remove The Bottle on The Gauntlet without releasing all the air from it. Theres a simple little trick you can do that involves undoing bottle just a tad, then dry firing it several times to release some of the Air in the valve and line and then being able to take the bottle the rest of the way off without releasing the rest of your air. A very useful trick for any of you with handpumps out there. BUT Please Make sure to find and watch and follow the Video step by step before attempting to do the trick so as to be safe and do it correctly.))) #HPAirguns #UmarexGauntlet #KyAirGunners #ItsNotAFirearm #NinjaPaintballTanks #DrJones

Have you done any experimenting with how much air you can flow through a stock valve and transfer port before you hit the velocity wall? When increasing the regulated output to a higher pressure, is there a point you reach where addition available air pressure doesn't give a gain. I ask because I was adding shims and testing with the factory 2250 transfer port and valve. Each time I added a shim, I saw an increase in velocity. However, when I added an additional shim going from .040 to .045, I saw a decrease. My first thought is I need either a stiffer hammer spring, but maybe I need better flow. Sorry for posting this question on such an old video. Also, those part numbers are still relevant as I used them a week ago to get the shims I am using.

Great video ! What size are de washers ?

Nice Tutorial, awesome video. You certainly are knowledgeable on these PCP Air Rifles and theregulators. Now I know how to increase my Ninga regulator that tested 1,700 psi to what it's suppose to be at 1,900 output. Do you have any idea how to increase the pressure on a "QUPB" regulator?

@AirVelocitySport

4 жыл бұрын

Just keep in mind that the output side of the regulator has a 1.8k burst disc for safety. This will blow after a few days if you set your regulator to 1700 psi. They even blow at 1600 psi. I had mine set to 1500 PSI and about a month later the 1.8k burst disc blew.

So you don't mess with the belleville washers to increase pressure. Just add shims on top of bottle before you screw on the regulator. What is the od an id of the shims or do you have a link to the page. I would like to order some shims before I take off the regulator.

@airvelocitysport hello i have a Ninja Pro V2 that measured at 800 psi i want it to go to just 950 it came with the belview washers and 3 blue shims. Can I just add another blue shim to raise it to around 900 to 1000 psi ?

does this mod work with other type of HPA tanks? thanks

I'm a little confused about my existing regulator. Mine too is a Ninja brand but it does Not have the ball bearing seal valve in the bonnet of the regulator. It has a pin type of valve. Also; on the bonnet there is inscribed the number 1150. I take this to mean that this is the output psi that this regulator is adjusted to. If so, this is odd because the Umarex Gauntlet users manual states that the output psi is 1250psi. Here's the confusing part. I checked the output psi the same way you checked yours. Inside my regulator it had only 10 Belville washers and no shims whatsoever. The output psi on this particular regulator read in the neighborhood of `1300psi just as it was. My manometer is one of the tiny cheap kind with the fat hash marks and fat needle so that "1300psi" reading has a plus or minus of perhaps one to two hundred psi. (maybe more) This regulator is part of the factory Umarex Gauntlet setup. (Unless they sent me one that had been sent back to them or someone had swapped things around before I got it.) I notice that the Ninja 13cc tank and regulator setups you have on your table in your video look the same except for the bonnets on your regulators. Do yours' have the output psi inscribed somewhere on the bonnet? I did go in and ad one .005" shim to my regulator to see if it would bring me up to 1400psi but those fat hash marks and that fat needle on my manometer make it difficult to tell. The differences in velocities over the chronograph show little to marginal difference so, I'm wondering, if I were to purchase an extra tank/regulator setup for my Gauntlet, is there a specific regulator that I can safely adjust to 1400 psi without wondering if I'd gone a little to far with the output PSI? I was hoping to safely get my velocities shooting the 14 grain pellets up to 900fps if possible. I don't need anything faster than that. My break barrel air guns both shoot that fast now. I'd like for this Gauntlet PCP to do a little better velocity-wise.

TIM MONTANO the regulator with the pin should work exactly like the one I have with the ball bearings. There is no inscription on the side of the Ninja regs except the marketing that indicate which burst disc to use. 1.8k on the output and 5k on the bottle. You are correct by increasing the shims you should get your pressure up. I have added as much as .03 shims o get the pressure up to 1600 psi. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT JUST BECAUSE THE BURST DISC SAYS 1.8K PSI IT WILL BURST AT AROUND 1550 PSI OR EVEN LESS. I have found keep the output pressure to 1450 is the sweet spot. That allows my to shoot 14 grain pellets at 950fps on my crossman 2240. You can add an extra two Belleville washers but that my increase the pressure to the point where the burst disc will blow. It will scare the pants off you. Also keep extra 1.8k burst available. As you start to mess with the pressure you will eventually blow a burst disc. Also, just because you set the output pressure to a certain psi does not mean it will stay there. These ninja regulators have a tendency to creep upwards. You will find that you just set the regulator to 1450 psi and shot all day. You put the gun away and in the morning your bottle is empty because the reg creeped up and blew the burst disc.

Thanks for the quick reply. So, it's the belville washer that do the increasing of the output pressures? As I stated in my inquiry. MY existing regulator only had 10 belville washers in place and no shims. This was giving me around 1300psi ouptput pressure. The .005" shim in installed myself appeared to give me maybe a couple more pounds of pressure per square inch. I never intended to go beyond 1400psi. I just wanted to get my pellets to a velocity of around 900fps. At one point in your video you stated that every regulator is different. The same washer and shim arrangement will yield different numbers in different regulators. I suspect this is the case with my regulator cause with only ten Belvilles and no shims I'm getting 1300psi while the regulator you show has 12 Belvilles and a couple of shims and it's giving you what; about 1400psi? If I try installing 12 Belville washers in my regulator in place of the ten I have now, it seems like I'll more than likely blow a burst-disk for sure. This is one of the reasons I asked about if there was a specific regulator I should get if/when I buy an extra 13cc tank/regulator setup. As far as strength and durability, are all of the 13cc Ninja tank/regulator combos basically the same or are some stronger than others? I mean, even with the same 1.8 and 5000 burst disks attached, are some regulator rated to withstand higher pressures? (not that I'll ever go higher than 1400psi)

When I stated that every regulator is different I mean that every combination of shims and washers will not create the same output pressure. They are the same and their construction and ability to hold up to 3000 psi safely. The regulator you have on the gauntlet is almost exactly the same as the one I have on my ninja. If I'm not mistaken ninja has created the regulator and bottle for the gauntlet. You are probably right that adding two more Belleville washers will be too much. All you need to do is fine the correct thickness of shims to match the output pressure you looking for which I believe is around 1400 you're almost there just a little more thickness

Thanks for your quick replies and thanks for the videos. They are very helpful in sorting all of this out.

Would I order those for a a 68/4500psi tank? How many to get the output psi to 1100-1200? any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

steven swett same as 1400 psi just use fewer shims on the bottom. You can purchase the shims and Belleville washers at www.mcmaster.com

But how much faster will it shoot? If I take it up?

beveled washers are called bellville? washers for this application?

NICE!!!

I'm wondering, where did get the gauge to check output pressures?

Hi, excellent video, could you help me set up the diaco spring springs so that the output increases to 1800 psi, it is currently set to 800 psi. I would greatly appreciate your help. I could send you photos ... Regards
