I bought an Akela a couple of weeks ago and since then I've fitted a Rob Lane reg. Very easy to do and the rifle now shoots properly. Yet to discover the shot count but I know it's going to be good and consistent having shot 120 pellets through it - with little fps variation. (AADF btw)

As the manometer no longer shows air tube pressure, but regged pressure, I'd like a manometer with a scale more suitable. perhaps up to 150bar tops. These can be bought but with a choice of thread sizes. Anyone happen to know what that is? 1/8bsp, 10mm, but probably not NPT as the gauge didn't have a tapered thread as far as I could see.

They are 10mm. Hope this helps!
I'm trying to get some new filler ports with gauge fitted (so people that reg their rifles can still see cylinder pressure). Delivery should be about 3 weeks away!

Hi buddy just having my Akela reg, do you supplier a pressure gauge and fill port for the Akela. Obviously once reg fitted can’t see full pressure. Thanks mark
 
Just convert psi to bar, its only a reference.

Mine gets topped up after every tin of 250 so no need to keep looking, when my tins empty I refill the gun and the tin, the Turkish stuff has lots in common so a front cylinder plug from the npo2 may fit then you have your filler and gauge, Ive done that to my little np03 cylinder
