Steady FPS throughout the day with RVA

This is a question directed at HPA/RVA users:

I'm trying to get an idea of how much FPS fiddling to expect with the gun set up I have in mind. Namely my RVA and tele-stock combo I'm trying to work out.

So to get to it...how much messing around with your RVA do you guys experience during a normal day of PB? Pretty much a set it once and it's good to go all day? Do you find your setting stays good from one weekend to another? Or is it a check it a few times throughout the day kind of deal?

Thanks for putting up with my goofy *** inquiries!

Re: Steady FPS throughout the day with RVA

I set it and forget it. With HPA my marker stays pretty rock solid in the consistency department (CO2 with a palmers is pretty solid too). In fact, I've found that unless I disassemble the gun for maintenance ect.. very little velocity adjustment is ever needed.

Re: Steady FPS throughout the day with RVA

Even using CO my marker shoots pretty consistent. Should be better once I add palmer's stab. The only time I have to really go and adjust is if there is an outside temp difference when I first chrono and then later in the day warms up. Other than that, it is pretty stable.

Re: Steady FPS throughout the day with RVA

I get +/- 3 to 5 PSI w/ my HPA. No stabilizer or RVA. Just a FVA.

Re: Steady FPS throughout the day with RVA

Ok so good news then. I made the RVA so it could be adjusted with the stock attached, with a Exxxtraa Lonnng allen wrench. Or with it unattached. This would be way easier. I was hoping that with the HPA, once the FPS was set, it would be pretty consistent all day. Hence the reason to leave the CO2 behind in the first place. Thanks
