great video; but one question: how are you going to get your gun stock to fit over that wika gauge. All the wika gauges that i ever seen are 28mm and the daystate is 23mm thanks in advance
nice work!!why not drill a hole in the cap so you can fill it without taking it off?I tig welded a very much modified nut to the underside of the air cylinder of my daystate mk3 so I could have a pressure gauge on it,it works a treat.Did you not need to drill a breathe hole into the air cylinder for the reg?I have an fx cyclone which I've switched the ben taylor reg for a lane reg and that has one,but was going to put the ben taylor reg into my girlfriends FX solo and thought I might run into problems there as it hasn't got a breathe hole.I know a bit but not everything about air rifles.
Thanks, there has been many changes to theses fill valves.nsomw have fixed caps, some rotate will holes. Welding a nut is extremely dangerous hence you never see this from any maufacture. You must take into consideration the pressure ratings your dealing with and welding a nut has now comprimised the structure integrity of the cylinder due to the heat stress on the material, also there wouldn't be enough thread unless you go 7mm or more. Even if you put a large weld bead on the nut and covered the cylinder widely with weld your still only welding to a 2mm thickness cylinder. I'm sure it's held pressure and it's working for you and I don't mean to offend you in any way. However I would be extremely worried about this. You could have machined an internal fitting with seals that the gauge could thread into without damaging the cylinder. Something like an aluminium bar with seals on each end a centre hole al the way through and a thred in the middle.
@@airrifletech8085 thanks for your reply.i agree it could be dangerous way to go for a pressure gauge.however the work was over seen by a hydraulics engineer and he was perfectly happy with quality and size of the nut and weld.(would advise just anyone to have a go for safeties sake).Ithink it was about a 12mm nut,it wasn't something you'd buy from a hardware store,it was really deep, i had to specially order it specially so i could shape it to be flush to begin with of the contour of the cylinder and still have a decent amount of thread on.your latter idea i think would go well on FX cyclone as you can either have a gauge or a reg not both(with a non breather hole version),your way your could have both.which really brings me to this question.do you think or is it necessary to have a breathe hole if you have a reg fitted?does the huntsman you worked on have one?cheers,Dave
Hi Air Rifle Tech. I've got a non regulated Regal XL on its way. I will be fitting a Lane reg. Just wondering if you are making the gauge block/quick fill unit for the reservoir to sell. Like you say, I won't know if my air is low until the regulated pressure drops. My only option is to shoot a shot string, find out when velocity drops, then in future count every shot. Your kit would be a great addition to a brilliant gun. Looking forward to hearing from you. IGK (UK based).
nice job indeed air rifle tech, i have milled over this idea for my harrier x mk1, that don`t even come with a pressure gauge. to finally do something about it, this could be the answer ?
@@airrifletech8085 i was told fill valve main piston uses 006 o ring..is that correct?i have a huntsman classic which has leaked air through the fill port.have ordered the 006 o rings though in a previously ordered o ring kit i have 02 o rings of 111 size with me .where is the solenoid exactly in the huntsman..can u please tell me.also can u be kind enough to confirm whether 117 size o rings are the 4 o rings whcih are mounted on the front valve body(2 here) and the valve housing(2 here)?
Goat Mendez the two seals on the action are removed allowing the reg to vent, in the video it shows them left in place, this was just a quick video to show how it goes together, this will be removed during final assembly
excellent workmanship
Great job - high quality work 👍
Excellent video and fantastic kit, got to have one 👍👍👍
You certainly can Jon, exactly the same action as the regal. Funny enough I fitted one for a gentleman called Paul Kemp last week
great video; but one question: how are you going to get your gun stock to fit over that wika gauge. All the wika gauges that i ever seen are 28mm and the daystate is 23mm thanks in advance
GREAT JOB ,IS IT POSSIBLE TO BUY THAT KIT AND HOW MUCH IF YOU PLEASE ?
How do I get the quick fill with probe for my Daystate Huntsman?
Nice work. Thanks for the video.
Very interesting how much for the conversation kit
Where does one get that new fill valve from?

sorry i forgot to say,the air cylinder on an FX cyclone is aluminium and i cant alloy weld that.the MK3 it's steel.

Nice video. I am thinking of doing the same mods to my Huntsman regal. May I ask where you sourced the XL cylinder?
Were can I get the kit from do u do them,lol

Thank you Andrew. If you have no luck we can sort something out for you to get a pressure gauge fitted
Did you have to modify the stock for the reg ?
Gary Billington the regulator don't effect the stock but the gauge is 25mm diameter so the inletting for gauge hole on the stock has to be inlarged
I'm starting to machine them up, will be available soon from the website
Where did you get.... Quickfill Set & pressure gauge, can you please tell me?
Parts are machined in house. Gauge came direct from Wika (bulk order)
great videos!
118-SOLENOID SPACER O RING and 111 URETHANE-PISTON O RING...where do these fit in a daystate
111 on the fill valve piston.
118 behind the solenoid on end cap

Any drilling required for a breather hole?
Karen Nuttall no hole required, if you read the comments below: how is the regulator vented . Regards.
nice work
This is just what I am looking for, can you let me know all costs please
How is the regulator vented to atmosphere?
Goat Mendez the seal is removed were the cylinder screws onto the action.
Goat Mendez the two seals on the action are removed allowing the reg to vent, in the video it shows them left in place, this was just a quick video to show how it goes together, this will be removed during final assembly
Thanks, it makes sense now.
Can you fit a regulator to a daystate Griffin
You certainly can Jon, exactly the same action as the regal. Funny enough I fitted one for a gentleman called Paul Kemp last week

Wika gauge on tank is fill pressure,reg falls off on gun gauge,time to fill gun.expensive way to go for extra gauge
shame your head got in the way
