Nexus cocker regs

[Bash]

On a Nexus cocker, how do you know if the regs are set to the pressure they are supposed to be?

You can obviously see what the pressure leaving the bottle is because of the primary reg eg angel air, but there are the other 2 regs on there (the one in front of the trigger frame and the one by the solenoid).

So without having pressure dials on the body how do you know they are set to the pressure they are supposed to be?
I have done a search but the results seem to only talk about primary reg pressure.

Thanks in advance.

You can either fit a guage to the Vert Reg, or just sweetspot the reg, that way it will be set at around 325 psi....the cocking reg, that you just wind out till it stops working...then wind it back in till it cocks concistently..then just give it a touch more...to be safe.

To sweet spot...set your main output from your airsystem to 550-600 psi.... set your velocity adjustment to its lowest setting in the back of your gun, dont worry if your only getting 120 fps or so....then go to your vert reg...wind it out...now...with paint, shooting over a chrono...wind up the preassure on the vert reg, bit by bit...do this until the velocity stops going up...then wind it down in small increments till it starts to drop again..what you want, is to get it to the point where any change in preassure, results in a drop in velocity...then you can go to your Rex dialler or whatever on the back of then gun, and set your velocity from there...helps to eliviate unnessasarily heavy springing in the back of the gun, which means faster cycling and lower cocking preassure required.

Nice one Mr Skeet!!
That was exactly what i wanted!!

Cheers!

 

[Skeet]

No problem..if im not accurate on that hopefully someone will let us kno..but im pretty sure thats the jist of it

I believe that it would be better to do the adjustments with the velocity adjuster half-way, instead of at the lowest setting, so that you have more scope either side when you need to adjust velocity.

 

[Skeet]

Well...the idea is that you get the best flow (which is how you achieve velocity) before trying to get the velocity you want...it will not affect future adjustment capability

also....... is it possible to turn the vert reg round a bit so that the elbow can be in between the trigger frame and the reg so that its not sticking in my hand?
It looks fixed but i thought i heard somewhere that it was possible.

 

[Skeet]

it should go yeah...try screwing in a bit more or unscrew it a bit more

 

[jahlad]

you can usually twiddle them a little to possition the out put but ive also been known to put a spacer (eather a washer or an oring) in the asa before screwing the reg in to get the out put port where i want it....just make sure you arnt blocking the air passage

 

[Bash]

at the moment it is in a position where if it could turn about 1/8 of a turn it would be there. So if i unscrew it until it is where i want it then it is almost falling off.
However there is another hole thing with a nut type thing (sorry about my technical vocab) to the right of it (the other side if the trigger frame), will the elbow work if i put it in there? then it wouldn't have far to be turned.
