Nate Chrony result, is my gun over power?

Sorry I didn’t realise power tuning was a problem, Redwolf is a digital gun so I guess if anyone can recomend a person who can reprogram for me, or is it back to Daystate?

Gun is a Redwolf and I think I had it set on mid power not full.

Is it possible you somehow got a high power version rather than a sub 12? Did you buy it privately or from a dealer?

If it's more than just very slightly over the limit ISTR you can't just turn the power down to make it a sub 12 - legally it would remain a FAC rifle no matter what it was set to. Happy to be corrected though!

Whatever, you need to tread pretty carefully as you may currently have an unregistered firearm.
 
Send it into and rfd first they will know how to deal with it and second its not illegal for them to have it even if it is over 12ftlb whereas you would be in hot water. Get them to check it and sort it for you

You can adjust the power down with no problem. If you registered it as an FAC it would then have to remain an FAC.
If someone whacked their gun up at home for 10 mins then turned it down again, how would anyone know?

I'm no expert but was assuming the serial number would identify whether a rifle had been supplied as a sub 12 or higher power version.

I think we're talking at crossed purposes - your post read to me that you were saying that if a sub 12 rifle was over 12 it became FAC and couldn't go back. If you were talking about a gun which is registered as FAC then that's correct, but the conversation is about sub 12 guns.

"If it's more than just very slightly over the limit ISTR you can't just turn the power down to make it a sub 12 - legally it would remain a FAC rifle no matter what it was set to".

Yes sorry if not clear. All I meant was that (AFAIK) a gun manufactured/sold as a sub 12 but found to be slightly over the limit could be dialled down a bit by a gunsmith etc. to become legal again, but one built for higher power levels couldn't be owned without an FAC even if modified to produce under 12 ft.lb.

A Red Wolf putting out 12.3 ft.lb with lightweight pellets when set to 'mid' on the power adjuster sounded to me like it could potentially be an FAC version. I think they make (or made) 20 ft.lb models?
 
As most have mentioned, you cannot easily reduce the power on a Red Wolf without a programmer, any RFD who has one should only be charging £30/40 max to do this as it's less than half an hour of time. If you got the gun recently from an RFD then ask them to do it FOC (y)
