When I first recieved my T.E.S. It was like love at first site. I didn't even have the upgrade eye board to shut the eye off but I sent it in to Dragun and they upgraded the board for free. Since I first received it I have been making upgrades to it and now have one kick marker the only problem i seem to have is that its not consistant. The field I play at has a 280fps rule and they check at random times and punishment is you can't play for that game and if it happens a third time you are out for the night. BLAH BLAH BLAH I am sure you guys don't care but I need to play at least 2 or just a full case to say to myself. okay thats enough for one day.

Just to list a few of my upgrades: Hydra bolt, ballistic drop, WGP reg., micro line, shoctech volumizer witch helped the consistancy but not a whole lot. My latest creation is a rear velocity adjuster. N2, freak kit (paint to barrel match)

Before I got the new volumizer and rear velocity adjuster. I needed to cut my spring so the marker shot 259fps at 300psi and have a 22+- spike. Crazy huh?

Getting the volumizer and lowering the reg. to about 225 I was able to set my fps to 265 and have about a 14+- spike.

With my Rear velocity adjuster on helped me pin point more closey to the my fps but still was spiking about 14+-.

Any suggestions that I can do to help my problem? Anything I may have over looked or should I just keep it where its at.

Get a new reg, like the Palmer's Stabilizer or CiP Powerstation, or get HPA. That will fix it 100%

I had a feeling that would solve it but I wanted to check first.

How new is your reg, and what kind of WGP reg is it, (Black Magic, stock, etc.)?

It's the WGP Stock Inline reg. It's only about 7 months old.

Which would you recommend, the Palmers or Powerstation.

I'm about to order but I know Palmers has been around for a while and the Powerstation is fairly new?

I would recommend the Palmer reg if you're choosing between those two, but I've heard good things about both...

Your consistency problems are probably a result of the stock reg. It's an ok reg, but I've heard and read that it has some problems with adjustability and consistency.

The powerstation is a complete knockoff of the Bob Long Torp. I would run the Palmer's, Maxflo, or powerstation reg.

Have you tried putting 3 or 4 drops of synthetic gun oil in the ASA, around the pin valve, and shooting it through the system?
Seemed to work for me because it reduces any "stickiness" in the reg.
It may not work, but then again it might.
Occam's razor:
William of Occam (1284-1347) was an English philosopher and theologian. His work on knowledge, logic and scientific inquiry played a major role in the transition from medieval to modern thought. He based scientific knowledge on experience and self-evident truths, and on logical propositions resulting from those two sources. In his writings, Occam stressed the Aristotelian principle that entities must not be multiplied beyond what is necessary. This principle became known as Occam's Razor, a problem should be stated in its basic and simplest terms. In science, the simplest theory that fits the facts of a problem is the one that should be selected.
