couple of dead simple qs - db can you help?

[jahlad]

ok couple of dead simple qs which coming from me i know are gonna make me sound like a grade a plonker but hey id rather ask than cock up my new marker

ok daft q number 1: i just bought a new belsales lpr, which way do i turn the knob to turn it up/down, the reason i ask is i dont want to have it set the wrong way and blow the 'noid on my eblade before i even shoot it!

daft q number 2: ok my new toy has a delrin bolt so i dont need to lube that (im pritty sure the bolt that is coming with it has no orings)
my q is what is the recommended lube for hammers these days, ive always run mine more or less dry to avoid making a grinding paste with any grit that gets in there, whats this spray on stuff thats mentioned in the eblade hand book......is that the sort of stuff i should be using or something along the lines of dow grease? or am i best keeping it dry?

Im pretty sure winding the lpr out lowers the pressure(no pressure on the spring then) and you should run the hammer dry.

On the twister LPRs, turning the knob in lowers the pressure, turning it out increases the pressure.

personally i use WD40 on my hammer, avoids a grinding paste and provides a nice lubricant to prevent wear etc.

Correct, on our Lpr's ( which all have the Twister fitted as standard ) winding the nod IN = Lower pressure.

i wouldnt lube the hammer at all, will just slow the hammer down and so lower rate of fire. also as u say, u et a horrible paste in there.
also if you over lube the hammer u get oil in the e-blade grip frame, not good.

For LPR's in general, if you don't know the direction to turn the adjuster, and you don't have any way of checking the pressure, then wait 'til you can use a chrono. You can detect the change in ball velocity up to a certain point. I'm assuming by LPR, you mean the one on the front block. If you mean the inline one, then you'll definitely detect the change in velocity. If you do have a way to check your LPR, it probably should be in the 85 psi range, but that depends on how your gun's spring is set.

That said, for a Cocker front block reg, I generally give the LPR a half twist and either listen to how the gun sounds, or I pull back on the back block and feel how much pressure is pushing back on me. You can feel the increase in pressure if you turn your LPR up, and after awhile, you kinda know how your backblock should feel.

For the people with Open Bolt guns out there, like Intimidators and Angels, I just pull the trigger and listen to how the gun sounds, adjust the LPR reg. a half turn and listen to how the next shot sounds. A higher pitch will usually happen if you increase the LPR pressure, lower if you decrease it and zero sound if you decrease it too much.

I hope you enjoy...

oh, forgot to point out that unlike alot of other lpr's out there, the Evo one wont overpressurize as it wont go above 100 psi ( recomended top psi on a e-blade)

cheers guys

thought i was right about not lubing the hammer, and the lpr mystery is now solved
