Ion reg query

[arg1271]

A quick question about the reg on my ion. With no pressure going through the gun (just the elbow connected, not even macroline) the adjustment nut on the reg seems to move quite freely (easily with fingers). Is this normal?

Does this stiffen up a bit once the marker is pressurised? as at present there is no way I'd need a wrench to change it.

normal

many thanks

I thought it might be, I assume it would require the wrench once there is air in the system.

I can't turn mine with my fingers, with no air in my marker. Don't know whether this is normal or not.

I would think the construction of the reg should lend itself to it having a tool (SP spanner) only to turn the adjuster so you can't accidently or intentionally change the fps after you have chrono'd.

I have known of a Ion that could be turned up or down by turning the whole Reg clock/counter-clock wise by hand!

this is just the velocity adjuster nut at the bottom of the reg.

I might have a look/play tonight, if I can get into the garage.....

Milton Keynes / Aylesbury.... the weather is just like that out of the film 'The Thing' but without a very hairy Kurt Russel, oh, and of course The 'Thing' itself. And less helicopters. And less flamethrowers (but only just).

I've emailled Sab to see what the access to the site is like at the moment.

I've just taken Mutley out for a walk, and other than the great fun of building him a snowman for him to pee on, you can see it's all just starting to melt.

Forecast for tomorrow is now rain, and Sat light rain. Wet but not snowy.
