In my opinion and experience..if it ain’t broke don’t fix it !
I’ve recently picked up a lovely R-TEN SE fitted with a HUMA regulator. Top guy named Thum, if he happens to be on here.
Whilst it is already a lovely rifle and shooting consistently (I know some will say leave it alone) I can’t help but want to see what improvements can be achieved.
Ideally a RATWORKS tune would be ideal but their current lead time meaning I’d be without the rifle for a month and feeling that I’m competent enough to tackle most work I’d like to ask details of what work people recommend carrying out on the rifle.
Here’s the link to the work RATWORK’s undertake:

If anyone has any specifics on this or any other recommendations, I’d love to hear your thoughts please.
Kind Regards,
Ed

Id avoid RW from personal experience as they butchered my 9015, the r10 suffers terrible hammerbounce thats why the never make the numbers bsa quote on advertising, there’s a guy called Tom Nelson aka Rancid Tom who may be on here, he is great with the r10 platform. And there’s the guys at sub12 who sell kits.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the info, I've since read quite a few comments saying the work from RW can vary depending on who does the work, so definitely won't be taking a gamble. I don't suppose you have contact details for sub12 please? as I can't find any means to contact them online.
Cheers,
Ed
Im the same and can see changes I want or improvements that are needed in every gun I buy, I think of it as personalising it. I also know that Ive transformed some guns as there was so much wrong with how the manufacturer had restricted it to UK power levels it didn’t work as well as it could. The R10 seems to be one of these with ridiculous hammer bounce issues wasting lots of air, addressing that can add dozens more shots perfill, also the regulator has know issues as does the cocking bolt coating which flakes off and contaminates inside the block.
If only manufactures sent out guns built to perfection, all this fixing could stop

The only reg'd rifle (a BSA) I have, I shot it until there was a problem with reg, then got it sorted out.
Messing about with it the 7 years earlier would not have stopped the seals from needing replacing .......and for seven years all was well
I'm probably a bit fussier about springers, pcp's all just go phht anyway no matter how sorted !!
