I much appreciate the replies. I'm quite reluctant to attempt this repair myself.
Out of curiosity, do any of the airgun manufacturers make modular regulator units that can simply be removed and replaced? That would seem to be a much better design alternative.

I think the Steyr regulator can be replaced as an assembly.
Re: Revisiting Benelli Kite Service
I'm pretty sure I remember that Pilk would do a regulator exchange (do it yourself) for about $70.

Yes, the Steyr regulator comes out as a unit. I bought a spare to have, and fixed my own by simply taking it apart and lubing the o-rings. Our host will rebuild yours for $75.
After taking it apart, and cleaning the firing valve too, I can sure appreciate the simplicity of the Steyr, even though I never liked the square looks of them.

Only applies to Steyrs.
