Air Arms Owners Club

New here but looking to get US R Carbine

Looking at getting one of these in 177, on the Air Arms site its listed as having 'New Air Arms Series 7 regulator and valve system' yet on some of the RFD sites they list as Series 6 Regulator any idea when the 7 series reg came out are the RFD sites wrong or did AA use series 6 regs in early models? seen a few posts from people with problems on the early release ones. Any idea whats different from series 6 to 7.

Anyone know how the moderator is fixed on these is it threaded or push on with grub screw?

The standard US has the slip-on Q-tec with grub screw. I haven't seen the R but can't see why it would be different. There were some reg issues with the R when released so I hope they have been sorted. Why don't you phone or email Air Arms to answer the reg series question?

Hi did give them a call but they didn't give a 100% clear answer but sounded like it was same as std US. Put up a post on another forum and it seems peeps are still having issues with regulators in rifles purchased this year and a mixed reply from AA. One guy was told from AA all new regs from Dec 19 yet when I asked I was told all the US R <12 were the newer 7 reg from day one. Seems some are ok and others sending them back a few times till there working right.

I had to send mine back to get it to group properly, was down to an alignment issue and not the regulator. The mod on mine is a push on with grub screw.

I'd have thought AA would know the date or serial number when the Series 7 reg was introduced. If so you would be able to find out for a specific gun by checking the serial number.

If you want a reg but don't trust the AA reg, the Altaros reg is a simple fit in the unregged version - no cylinder hole or port modifications. It doesn't give any more shots but it does do away with the power curve, so sweet from 190bar to 110bar.

Thanks for your help
