EVOL New Easy Cocking Hammer System For EVOL!

[Woogie_man]

The Externally Adjustable Regulator mentioned in this Post, will that fit into an older EVOL .22 or just in the current guns being produced?If it can be fit into older units, when will they be available?

Thanks
JoeWillie

It should be adaptable. Tom is adding one to the replacement cap I am getting for my Paradigm

 

[JoeWillie]

That’s would be great. Tom seems to listen to his Customer, as The Cocking effort, Externally adjustable Reg. and Hammer adjustments are the 3 things I’d like to change on an otherwise superbly designed and built Unit!

I realize there have been some issues with parts recently but ANY Idea when the new Cocking kits will be available? Also any starting point for reg pressure in a 15” EVOL with the new hammer system ( for a 880-900) tune with 18 gr JSB?

Thanks
Joe

Reg pressure shouldn't change regardless of hammer system. When I had my 15" it was in the 1600-1650psi range for that speed with the 18gr.

Thanks for that info, currently as received mine is a bit more than that. Now to find someone who actually has the tools in stock to adjust the reg?

Sooo No update as to when the new system will be available??

 

[Woogie_man]

Sure Tom is working on then. He is working on the new rifles, plenum, external adjusters and more goodies. It takes time.

Airguns of Arizona has the Evol tools, and will have the new upgrade's parts when packaged and ready to ship.

What special tools are needed to adjust the regulator? I'm only aware of the barrel spanner wrench.

 

[Woogie_man]

You don't need a barrel wrench to adjust the regulator. Removing the barrel helps, but it is not needed.

Remove the foster fitting, airguage and unscrew the end cap. Then with a long Allen key adjust the regulator. I would advise removing the cylinder and push out the regulator to make a precise adjustment.

I see what you mean now about being out of stock.

After shooting my new-to-me EVOL 30 today side by side with the Ghost, I can justify the upgrade when it's available. It's still a fabulous rifle!

Quick Update. We did all the testing with one hammer weight and two spring options. During tune development it became apparent when the heavy spring was used for 30 caliber the potential max fpe was just under the original system. The new system works extremely well up to 900 fps with a 44 gn but it does max out there where the older hammer systems allows for higher reg pressures and fpe.

There will be two hammer options and two springs available. A light weight hammer/spring for 22 cal for those shooting 18 gn and lighter ammo. A heavier hammer/spring for high power 22 and 30 caliber.

Then there is the heavy hammer/light spring for mid power 22 and 30 caliber setups.


We'll be publishing some baseline performance data with suggested reg setpoints soon.

That's awesome Tom!

Love these updates and can't wait to get everything in the rifle!

After using stock older variations of the evol, the cocking effort becomes a mute point. Most people who have taken my recommendation to get themselves an evol immediately say "wtf , why is this take this much effort?! "Then after owning them I always get, "man I don't get why I made such a big deal of that."

In reality, its not that much of an effort, it's just more than a ghost, or an impact.

Imo the cocking is smoother than both, and gives a positive feedback to the user. However it does require a little, tiny, tad bit of muscle. After shooting many rounds it becomes null. At least for me.

Now having shot a rifle with the new system, you get that positive, not toy like feeling but it is indeed easier to cock, it is night and day.

I'm just saying that after using my Paradigm only, for months, without shooting anything else. It became a complete and utter after thought.

before i got my EVOL while reseaching i was thinking it was going to take some effort to cock. once i got it and cocked it i thought WTF why is this even ever brought up. its a none issue.
my wife is tiny and she has never once said anything about it taking effort to cock?

 

[Luis Leon]

Seems to me that the “hard to cock” issue or non issue, was first voiced by actual Evol users in comparison to? For @CTAirgunner to equate the feel of those other compared PCP levers as “toy like”? Is simply uncalled for and untrue. They just happen to be smoother in their cocking cycle. Toy like? Yeah right!

 

[MountainSportAirguns]

I think it's more of the feeling that it's not going to snap off if you wrenched on it in a hurry like some other brands. Lol

 

[Woogie_man]

I rack mine back quite quickly and hard...the rifle that is, and have had zero issues or concerns about breaking anything.

Tom builds extremely strong rifles and there should be no worries about breaking them.
