Non-paintball specific reg source

LagShock · 03-02-2011, 03:43 PM

I need to reg. the 850 psi coming out of a hpa tank down to 100 for my senior design project. I know I could just run over to palmers and pick up a $100 reg, Im hoping someone could point me in the right direction of a cheaper source of regs that can handle ~1k psi input.
Ive been looking through McMaster Carr already, everything I see has a ~300 psi max input.

-Thanks

Are you saying you can't use a paintball reg to bring the psi down? I.e. using an on/off + a paintball reg + an asa (vertical - like those on the old mag) ?

A used rock/micro rock should do what you need, and used, they seem to be running about $35-50. No need to spend extra, or reinvent the wheel.

pk5, a paintball reg is going to work fine, in fact that's my current plan

I just want to make sure there isn't a well known source for regs that handle the same pressures but aren't geared for paintball in case they were cheaper.
