    Regulator gurus please look, custom question.

    Hello chaps,
    Today I fitted a Robert Lane regulator to my Brocock Enigma without any drama's, tomorrow I should receive in the post a gauge I'm retro fitting to the block (have to tap 1/8 bsp thread).
    Before I do I just had a thought I wanted to throw out on here...
    As the sauce on my Enigma will sit in the block and so in front of the regulator (the enigma valve is located in the block by the way) will I not just get a reading of 95 Bar?
    The reg is adjusted to 95 bar, so I assume the pressure ahead of it will also be 95 bar where the gauge will be taking a reading... Hopefully you can understand the reasoning behind my thoughts and either confirm my suspicion or tell me why this isn't the case.
    If I'm only going to get a 95 bar reading then there's no point in my fitting the gauge is there.

    At 1min 15 theres a guage on underside of action, you mean this which will only register reg pressure?

    Yes, am I right in assuming it will only read the reg pressure of 95bar?

    Yes, exactly the same as on a BTAS AA S400/410/510 reg conversion, you only read regulated pressure.

    Cheers

    I'll pop the gauge on my unregulated .177 Enigma then.
    Thanks for the confirmation chaps.
