    Stock WGP 2K regulator adjustment


    got the reg and IVG adjusted and shooting 280 so i should maybe leave well enough alone..... but that's just not me - want to dial in the reg a little better by sweetspotting - but I'm confused -it seems like unscrewing the adjustment screw is raising the pressure - I though screwing it in was how you typically increased reg pressure. or my brain is just farting. are these different for some reason? gun is a sheridan sprung pre 99 minicocker. running anti siphon Co2

      WGP regs are backwards - like you've discovered, "out" is up, "in" is down.
      And God turned to Gabriel and said: “I shall create a land called Canada of outstanding natural beauty, with majestic mountains soaring with eagles, sparkling lakes abundant with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, and rivers stocked with salmon. I shall make the land rich in oil so the inhabitants prosper and call them Canadians, and they shall be praised as the friendliest of all people.”

      “But Lord,” asked Gabriel, “Is this not too generous to these Canadians?”

      And God replied, “Just wait and see the neighbors I shall inflict upon them."

          This is typical for moving base style regulators, smart parts being the notable exception but only because they reverse thread their adjustors. Floating poppets are typically in to increase pressure

              Yup, just didn't feel like getting into specifics. Too hot outside to think hard.

                Floating poppet style is the Palmers Stabilizer correct?

                  thats extremely helpful! I've always had a hard time wrapping my head around whats happening in there!

                  one question...
                  I always thought of regulators as a "static" piece of the gas flow.... but are they actually "on demand"? in other words when the gun is not firing the valve is closed, but once flow starts (firing) then the valve opens or am i just seeing the animation used for clarity.

                      Yes.

                          Nope that's correct. They do move but it's a pretty small movement. This is why Bob long torpedos will eventually wear a groove in the sidewall of the body


                          If you look at both of those designs they only open up when the output pressure decreases. Input pressure can change and it won't matter
