Thanks .

Re: Regulator
I'm very happy with the Altaros on my Ultimate Sporter. Easier to fit and set up than Lane/Huma/Tench. Uses the existing TP, valve and springing; unvented so no hole in the cylinder. You won't get a significant increase in shots but they will be consistent from 190bar to end of your present sweet spot.
To be clear, I didn't fit mine - Roger5 did. Also Archer50 has fitted several I believe. But I have adjusted mine so I can say first hand they are relatively easy to tune.

The Ultimate Sporter has the carbine cylinder which gives me 70 consistent shots at <10fps variation set at 11.2-11.3ft lbs. I estimate the larger cylinder will give you 100+ shots. I've seen claims of 150+ shots with a Lane reg but I haven't seen any strings posted that are more consistent than mine. So, not needing any more shots, if I were doing it again I'd stick with the Altaros.

The US-R is totally new internals I believe - not so possible to retro-fit the new reg to the old model, and difficult to compare the two. I've also seen a few reports of issues with the AA reg but can't comment with any authority.
I hope yours performs ok.
