FX Maverick: Setting Up the Dual Regulators

The Maverick is built to be extremely versatile, but with this versatility comes the need to understand how everything works - And with PCPs, everything revolves around the regulator pressure. In this video we show how to set ups the dual regulators for the most reliable and consistent performance.

Thanks Matt. Always nice to get a new video from you. Happy New Year!

[@carsmax]

Hi Matt. at 3:24 it is actually not a side note ... for me and many others who has no power restrictions BUT wont have the opportunity to lower the power to sub 12 or even lover ( 6fpe in Germany) it mean´s a lot !! You are the first man who named this " problem" ! Why Johan do not think/care about People like me who want a 30 fpe gun and at the same gun have possibility to crank it down to my needs !! Maybe FX do in the future !? Thanks for all the info about this gun 👍

[@gwjay2022]

Thank you Matt, I like that it's designed to use the same guage to set both regs! 👍

[@rzage1]

Thanks Matt , this is the first video I understood on tuning both regs . Now I just have to get one !!!

Good video on this matter well explained matt just got myself a FFP Mrad helix had a look through one and that wos it 😍 great work

[@tyroneclarke1666]

Thank you for sharing Matt. I like the way you explain technical details. You make it sound easy. Happy New Year to you and the crew. Patriot Australia would be a good move. Cheers 🇦🇺

[@craigburkey6260]

Hey Matt! Just wanted to thank you for all of the vids! I really appreciate all of the technical info, and have learned a ton! Congratulations on all of your endeavors this past year and hope 2021 brings you and the other SA boys even more blessings!! Happy new year!

[@dannywarren5204]

The first simple tutorial ever from you ever matt... please do more like this with reg pressures that work with different guns and difference weight ammo...so all peaple may need to do is playing with the hammer spring and power wheel... it sounds simple but you guys over complcate everything you touch... and make me not want to buy an fx.. because you guys cant explain anything simply... like you did here for the first time ever

[@sptmbrkid5962]

This is a nice and clear tutorial. Thank's Sir.

[@tinymud3324]

Merry X-Mas & a Happy New Year from Canada, Matt & Crew in these trying times ;o)

[@chriscarpenter4415]

Matt when I get it in I need you to come to Texas and help me to set it up right. Keep up the great videos.

[@mason24682]

Always such clear information, easily explained. But can you do more 12ft videos please for lads in the UK who don't require a FAC. I have no reg pressure reading in my new FX impact but it shoots amazing. I would love to know more about setting it up to achieve the beat results at 12ft. Tha ks and great videos

[@psycho6275]

Thanks Matt very informative, these Mavericks look incredibly interesting. Last FX was my Dream Pup, next Is a Maverick lol, I can't help myself lol

[@meljunlapina3927]

Good day Matt, I'm from the Philippines. How i wish to have one of these quality PCPs. More power to your channel buddy.

[@bubbleone6526]

Great video. Hoping you are gonna cronny it so we can see the FPS & FPE with different grain slugs. It will help as a lot of us are waiting for the shipment to drop at Utah Airguns. Kind of a head start if you will.

[@nicolasochoa9582]

Happy new year bring it on . More videos of you shooting

[@royyoung5731]

When Utah Airguns set my Maverick up they put the adjustment screw on the left side of the gun. I liked that little change for having the gauge and the adjustment screw on the same side.

[@Powerpickle68]

Mine came that way from FX, I feel lucky with all the other I see on the opposite side

[@Boogerboys1990]

Me too utah airguns did me right I got my gun in less than 10 days and they weren't expecting it for six to eight weeks minimum

[@hlfpsttomorrow93]

I was just fortunate enough to nab one of these from pyramyd air. Can’t wait for it to show up.

[@Acutus3399]

Thanks Matt! The more I get to know this gun the more I like it! I have a 25cal and am still trying to find the right tune for my needs and every bit of info helps!

[@samsonmateo9848]

Informative video...helpful.thanks matt..!

[@robbierobinson8819]

I only discovered your videos very recently and see how much I have been missing! This, like all your technical videos is absolutey spot-on; arrangement, illustration of points and pace are great. Thanks for the efforts.

[@sptmbrkid5962]

And could you please do a tutorial how to switch between the 1st and 2nd Reg for whoever that wants to set into lower press?

[@hughdolben6010]

Hi matt, are you going to cover hammer adjustment settings for the maverick?

[@mikecolz7867]

I noticed on one of the adjustments on the regulator you said turn it clockwise and you were turning it counterclockwise

[@mikecolz7867]

Do you know if they’re going to make a version for left-handed shooters. It seems to me the magazine would be in the way

[@Mike-yq6jg]

Many thanks just done mine

[@BRKGHOST.25]

Fantastic matt

[@alvinroe1903]

Matt, I am new to PCP and I'm trying to setup my .25 cal Maverick for shooting slugs. It has a slug power kit, heavy slug liner and the carbon fiber sleeve installed. After installing the heavy liner my accuracy is worse, it's especially less consistent compared to the stock liner. After watching your videos about setting up your guns for the RMAC 2022 I thought I would try increasing pressure as you described your best experience at 1040 with your .22 cal. I had previously watched this video so refreshed my memory and following your examples I adjusted the regulators to 180 and 150 bar. The regs where originally set at about 160 and 130 bar. Note that I've not touched the hammer spring adjustment yet. I'm confused because with the higher pressure I'm seeing lower FPS across all power wheel settings, max'd at about 957fps (it used to be over 1020). It seems like each action I take makes things worse instead of better... Have I misunderstood / do you have any suggestions that would help?

[@norm5431]

Thank you Matt🍍🍍🤙🏽

[@Dastaan-E-Zeest]

Hi matt debur I m Aalishan from Pakistan I really like your videos that's why I m your subscriber. God bless

[@steventhompson3507]

Aha what did confuse Me untill it clicked into place was that your talking about the first reg and setting it's pressure whilst pionting at the bottle pressure guage 🤣. It all clicked into place once I realised to ignore the bottle guage in my mind. If I understand this correctly then during the i dividual parts of botb processes both regulator settings are viewed on that same rear guage but that first regulator is inside of the housing close to the bottle guage and that's where my confusion came from. Have I got that right?

[@bruceking31]

I haven’t done any adjustment to my Maverick 25 cal from what the factory settings were. Is there a way to see what the factory set the 1st regulator at without going through the whole process which would loose their settings.

[@allenhaymond5934]

Hey I just got FX wildcat mk3 sniper 22cal and there is noise when you tilting it back and forth when it cocked and where do you adjust regulator

[@SStech975]

Another great video Matt. What brand of grip is that on your Maverick?

[@Terracotta-warriors_Sea]

please make a video comparing Impact and Maverick. What makes them different in use and who should buy which or both?

[@airenthusiast1071]

Maverick cost less and has a larger plenum so it works great for shooting heavy projectiles its trigger isn't as good as the impacts.

[@juliofranco9244]

Hello sir I want to know if I can use the 357 cal kit in my fx Mavericks thanks for all the info God bless you

[@SnipeLoisirsTestsCustoms]

Hey Matt; here you set up to 170 the first and 150 the second and how are you? Thank you for your explanations

[@Boogerboys1990]

Yep I love my value price 22 model freaking awesome gun first PCP ever I'm glad I went with FX I researched for years now finally pulled the trigger on one

[@waynesexton8621]

Hey Matt. Love your videos. Maybe you can help me with this. I followed your. Irreconcilable way to tune and it feels like my FX Impact 3 is working a lot easier now but I am getting a wide speed readings. From 220fps all the way down to 903fps and several readings in between. What could cause this? Thank you Wayne

[@mikemurphy960]

Matt. I have a .new 30 mav compact . Following your instructions , I was unable to charge the second regulator . Bottle was at 225 and opening the set screw to set 2nd reg resulted in air bleeding from the set screw and none was going to the second regulator. (guage would not move ) There seems to be obstruction or something preventing flow . Any suggestions or possible cause?

[@branimirbekic8591]

I have a Maverick 25. built-in power kit with hammer 15 g and heavy slug liner. I want to shoot slugs from 36 grains, so I'm asking how much I should set the first and how much the second regulator.

[@MikeS1944]

I followed your video to setup my Maverick. The best FPS I get is around 740 with the power knob set on 7. I tried adjusting the screw on the spring seat with little success. I backed it out so much that I couldn’t complete a cocking and had to screw it back in a half a turn. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@miguelangelurbina9610]

Hello. I recently got my Maverick 25. But adjusting both regulators, the second one started to leak air out of the adjustment screw. He stopped doing it when he tightened the screw. Do you think the o ring was damaged? Or do I just start the steps again to regulate? The pressure gauge of the second regulator no longer moved.

[@bridiemegan]

Hi,if you had to pick one gun which would it be, impact or the maverick and why .thanks

[@steventhompson3507]

I hear you but are both of the regs in the maverick identical if so that second reg needs to have a bit of strain on it to function well.

[@78primdahl]

Im in Denmark and here we don't have uk limits so here we get the fac versions , but I am shooting in my backyard and would line to power it down if i buy one. But how do i switch the regulator/plenum around??? And how to adjust them when they are switched???

[@scottstonex7224]

[@larryguinn8969]

Help. My .22 cal Maverick is set at approximately 950 FPS on power setting 7 using JSB 18.13 gr pellets. Every time I take it out to shoot after sitting up for several hours it takes several shots before the velocity stabilizes at 950. Depending on how long it has set up, the first shot can be from 50 to 200 FPS less than the 950 FPS peak. velocity. This happens on every power setting from 7 down to and including 3. Any explication?

[@brocwavra8813]

Any suggestions on what I should set the regulators for the 30 cal using 44.75 grain JSB on the sniper model ? It came stock with 110 on the second reg and not sure about the first yet as I have only taken a few shots. But at 50 yrds stock it is dead accurate. Thank you for any help you can offer. Broc

[@tavekezo4371]

Nice gun👍

[@user-ke6yf1rr2g]

hi tell me please how does Fx impact differ from LCS Air Arms sk-19 what's better? What would you advise as a professional?

[@MikeS1944]

The first gauge shows how much air is in the bottle. The rear gauge is used to adjust to show the air in each side of the plenum. Do I have that right??

[@pestcontrolservice8653]

Hi Matt what is the best pressure for shoot slugs on power wheel 7 and pellets on power wheel 3/4 pressure 165/145? Or I mistake?

[@Boogerboys1990]

Good afternoon, buddy. I am Ricardo Ávila from Portugal and I follow your channel that is excellent! I want to ask you a question: What is the most powerful FX in joules in Cal.22, Impact or Marverick? Thank you very much, my friend.

[@MikeS1944]

I’ve done exactly what you and other people have said and I cannot get over 611 on my chronograph. Any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong or what I can do to get my FPS up in the 900’s?

[@randylettau5728]

Hello Matt! I have a question for you. Do you experience regulator creep with your FX Impact? My brother and I did! So we designed and had fabricated an adapter to make the second regulator (the one at the tank) of the FX Maverick fit onto our FX Impact! It works great and looks totally stock! Now we have 2 externally adjustable regulators and 3 gauges, tank, 1st regulator and 2nd regulator. Think anyone else might have regulator creep and could use this adapter? Huma has one but it has several issues; 1) can't externally adjust it, 2) must remove the tank check valve to install, 3) no gauge.

[@allenhaymond5934]

I'm new with this can't find adjusting screw for first regulator on fx wildcat mk3 sniper 22cal

[@2L8CO]

Matt, Excellent details as always. You made a statement about your particular tune (170/150bar) being for "heavy slugs", I presume this will be in .22 cal., Can you tell us what weight slugs you are referring to?

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Probably 30 or 34gr. 30gr seems to work very well.

[@vahidrezashakouri2936]

How about impact m3?same instructions set up for regulator tune?

[@scottstonex7224]

Hi Matt I have a Maverick Sniper in 22 I am getting disappointing speeds, light 16grIn slugs at about 850 so you can imagine how slow a 25 grain slug is going 650ish any thoughts to get more speed out of stock Maverick?

Hi Matt just bought the maverick. 25,my question is its dual reg but only one reg gauge as seen in your vid ????

Matt, I'm a big fan of yours, I live in Brazil and I really want to have an FX IMpact / Maverick, I just need the money. haha But as we don't have a lot of resources here, and I don't have a lot of resources myself, I would like to know if FX tend to have a lot of leakage problems and what I can do to avoid them. Which weapon would you recommend to someone who wants to shoot Slugs at 100 meters without worrying so much about leaks? Thanks for all the content you create, I learned a lot from your videos, including how to speak another language!

[@ToreDL87]

Leaks is an ever present threat regardless what airgun you have, it can happen with a 300 dollar Avenger or a 3000 dollar tricked out Impact. All it takes is ONE dust particle getting into the system and gnawing at an O-ring over time. So: Science the ever living so and so out of what airgun you want, then science the so and so out of the specific airgun you decide to get, you basically want to know how you take it apart BEFORE you get it. Also, stock up on O-rings :)

Hello Sir, good morning. Great shooting! Hey I’m about to purchase a FX IMPACT Maverick.. I have a few question(since you’re an owner)! If I purchase the fx impact maverick in .25 cal and if I want to shoot the same rifle in .22 caliber. Do I purchase another barrel or do I just get a barrel liner ? Also is the power band for the .30 cal(7.62) the same power equipment for the .25 or is it a bigger tank involved and how big of a air tank can one purchase for the fx impact maverick

I have a question, i from The Nederlands. Ik this a marverick problem? Many problem with The bottle adapter, gr from Holland

[@kevinharris81]

Unfortunately the most important part of the reg setting is the setting of the second reg screw to vent it down. The "anti clockwise" movement is critical but is glossed over in the video. Backing it out to far will result in blowing out the o'ring on the high pressure side of the regulator screw. This is a bit dicey. I have plenty of spare o'rings having created this issue. This adjust reg adjustment is tricky but with practice it can be done when opened no more than flush with the reg body and firing a few shots as shown in the video.

[@KangMansSuperman]
