Can see your frustration mate Think you cover it well So did some investigations and found on Huma-Air web site something weired On the Hatson Regulator menue Under Gladius Pri to ordering there Regulator They want to know the details date etc what's printed on your cylinda Of your Gladius rifles pri to 2017 Cylindas are ok but after 2017 they need the details so not a safety issue It can only be a made fitting issue with hatsan air cylinda Going over to Aluminium I would go on Huma site and email them asking why they want that info give them a brief discrimination of you Aluminium tube expanding. They may even know this and have addressed the problem . I see your site as dealings with day state well they are using Huma Regulators in there Brocock Bantams and Snipers So can't be a bad Regulator maker

Yes, you are right. I thought all the cylinders were the same and found that a regulator wouldn't fit the cylinder of the same model of rifle. A crazy idea. All the exhaust valves are the same fitting, but the internal diametre after the valve can be different, as there is a step down in size, meaning that unless you get the correct fitting regulator, they wont fit. The reason they ask for the date of the cylinder is so that they can make a regulator to the correct diametre. That's why an external one would work best, as it would go between the cylinder and valve, and as they are all the same fitting, they wouldn't need to mess around with making different sized regulators according to the cylinder. You can buy external regulators for rifles such as the Air Arms S200 and BSA Ultra etc.

Is it more or is that rifle huge?

[@airgunsniper-elite7385]

Yes, all Hatsans are bloody heavy that i have had. The exception would be the flash pup and flash rifle.
