Fantastic first post Flighty - welcome.

Buddyboy is an expert on flattening the Career's power curve, so he'll probably answer your question when he wakes up.

Hello,

Me back from field

Me little sad only couple welcomes out of 140 views ....
You bbs-er are tough on belgian unlettered farmers

On the other hand, I must admit that you folks are kind of hard to fool .....

Not much to say about me really besides that I'm an airgun"nut" with a flighty behavior towards them. I've had several airguns but sold them all except for one.
And I'm actually the son-in-law of a farmer with little varmints left on the farm because of my leftover .... a Career 707 .22 carbine with an "A" Team regulator.

Thanks to BuddyBoy for his quick reply concerning the necessairy Career mods.

Finally, I'd like to say that besides shooting airguns the second best thing about them is the cameraderie-thing .... There's always someone telling something in a noncompetitive way about there favourite hobby .... and ... I like, I like ....

Me finish now, me back to work just kidding

There now; don't you feel better?

It was easy enough to spot as a fake, the syntax in your first post was all wrong for someone who was supposed to be trying to comunicate in an unfamiliar language.

So your Career has a regulator, but still has a power curve? I thought the reg. was there to prevent exactly that problem?

Guesty,

My Career is mostly running at 30ftlbs (AA field) and is good for 30 consistent shots (278 à 280 m/s). When the pressure drops below 1900 psi the reg. is of .... so back to the decelerating powercurve.
I also made a free floater out of it. It is silenced with a Logun (had to drill that one out to 9mm because of accuracy problems ... specialy at higher power level). Also made a bipod for it .... from a sportmatch 2 piece - double screw
The "A" Team spring kit does wonders with the triggerpull .... it's now safely set at 700 gr. I could adjusted it even lighter but I prefer a not to light trigger on this baby .
I'm pretty pleased with it, if I may say so.

hello, you need at least 1800 psi in your bottle for the reg to work, however when the pressure is above that you have 30 incredibly consistent shots. You cannot do any more than a reg to flatten a power curve im afraid. Also have you tried Bisley magnums or a heavier pellet than aa field?

If you were to use a magnum, you could turn down your power wheel (Doing so will increase the amount of shots per charge) and also you could maintain the same power (Because a heavier pellet does not have to travel as fast to give the same power)

If you wanted to do serious damage to vermin, try daysung pellets! However you will get a significantly larger drop off.

hope some of that was some use to you, cheers rob

I keep the heavy stuff (Barracuda's) for my long gun .22 target version.
Haven't tried the Barracuda's enough in my carbine to tell if they give more shot per fill at the same power level.
I do know that a heavier pellet has more inertia wich means that the firing valve will stay open a little bit longer .... and consuming more air that way ... so I don't know how much shots one could gain out of one fill when shooting with heavier pellets ?
Maybe worth a try, thanks.

Flighty,

me too in Belgium, but in Brussels region there are unfortunately too few farms that need my services!
Whereabouts are you located?
