Great product from a great seller. I bought the power slug kit (which comes with a porting jig) from eBay. I messaged the seller to ask if he had made a video showing the teardown and rebuild and he posted this video within a few hours for me! Then, when I had some problems reassembling the airgun, the seller Paul gave me his number and texted with me until I got it all back together and working. Overall: I am pretty handy but I had never worked on a gun before. With this video I was able to completely tear it down and rebuilt it, even tore the trigger assembly down to bare frame. It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait to have a reason to do it again. On the porting jig: Be sure you have the right drill bits. I destroyed a bit that literally broke into little pieces. Ended up using bits rated for “aircraft metal.” Drill slow, use some machine oil on the bit, and let the tool do the work. The washer included in the kit is for unscrewing the firing pin assembly. The coat hanger included is for protecting the other side of the barrel when you drill out the barrel port. On reassembling the regulator: I put the regulator back together wrong and it was leaking out the emergency blow hole on the side of the airgun. The entire regulator goes in and out from one the front side of the frame (you can use a rod or something to push it out from the back as Paul does in the video, or you can use needle nose pliers or a hemostat). You can see in the video when Paul pulls the regulator out, a little silver disc falls out. When resembling, that goes in first, and can go in either way. Also, the regulator contains 12 washers, which Paul says to put back in with “a three stack” if you’ll set your regulator over 150 bar, or “a two stack” if under 150 bar. With a three stack, the twelve washers go like this: ((()))((()))” and a two stack is like this “(())(())(()).” Paul has a video where he goes into this a bit more called "Shooting NSA slugs" or something. On resembling the cocking lever: the long rod on the top of the air gun that that operates the cocking handle has a plastic shuttle on the rear; resist the urge to tighten or loosen the shuttle. Don’t let it turn by accident. Just keep it where it is. If you get it all back together and have trouble cocking the gun, like it won’t go back far enough to cock, try adjusted the double-threaded rod at the bottom of the trigger assembly until you feel it cock. It should then be exactly where you need it. Maybe use a little thread lock to keep it from coming loose over time. When I hit problems, Paul was some generous in helping me get it fixed up. I really appreciated it.
Having recently “mastered” the Stormrider internal mechanisms, I thought I was ready to move up. I’m not mechanically inclined so your video is all have to get me thru the basics and some of the new challenges I expect you to face with the Zelos arriving in a few days. Some of your viewers probably have more experience but as far as I’m concerned a longer video or a second one where you start with the parts and build it on camera would be welcomed. This is my third time thru (and won’t be the last) and I pick up something new each time. Thanks for your work on the project.
Question - in you have removed the upper screw from the hammer, will it release when you pull the trigger instead of removing trigger parts and spring? Stormrider works that way. Thanks
I do have only 6 quesgions to understand what I did not tet As you name them together as they are equal besite barrel and caliber .diffrens is the body the plenium and the rest the same and you feel the power atere the same ? What is the brand of the barrel fabrication ?. Do you feel both gun smash the slugs as must with power/speed and accurate ?
@r.bouth.6457 Everything else is the same. I think the barrel's might be a lw My 25 Cal it's surprisingly accurate with slugs. After doing barrel work, I made a video on that

Thank you for making the video
