Just a general note on leak testing after fitting a regulator. I fitted a Lane regulator to an Air Arms S400. The rifle was not leaking air before I started the job. I replaced all seals as they had deformed in the 20 years since I bought the rifle new. After fitting the regulator, I was charging to 190 bar and it was losing about 5 bar a day. A quick tour round the gun externals with oil to look for bubbles showed no obvious leaks. I decided to live with it initially and I'm glad I did. The seals must have been "bedding in" as they deformed to their new position. The leak rate slowed over a few weeks and after 5 weeks it was (and remains) leak free. Hope that helps someone. 😀
Just got mine back from repair, was under warranty so all's good, dumped all its air down the barrel, no more than 200 pellets through it, lets see how it holds up, may do this Reg mod when warranty ends, thanks for the video..
I had to send mine back too for dumping its air but mine came out of the hole by the reg. seems to have been a few issues with these rifles. Hopefully the video helped a bit and thanks for watching
@@gsmith1418 Thanks for the reply, Yeah seen a couple of Posts on forums about the DRS dumping air, fingers crossed all will be good from now on, lovely little gun to shoot ..

The sub 12ftlb rifles don't have a plenum it's just a solid block of aluminum. Why there is no place to put a gauge
@@wiggly71 I know. I have swapped mine out now for the HP plenum.
How did you remove the anti tamper off the adjustment screw please
@@fatherdaughterandsonfishing you can peel it out with a sharp knife or screwdriver
