Fatty stab

MightyMike0 · 06-08-2008, 12:58 PM

I wasn't sure if this went in here or not so if it doesn't a mod can just move it

I bought a fatty stab off the b/s/t here and i knew it was coming with a broken gauge. Question is now that I have it I can't get the gauge off even with a strap wrench. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Also when I screw it into the asa on my cocker the gauge side faces my trigger and the fitting sign out away from the marker. Like this I can't use it with my cocker because the trigger gets in the way. I guess I could just get a plug for the gauge hole but it's still weird holding it the way it is. What can I do?
Thanks and sorry for the stupid questions

I'd have to see a pic of the gauge to see, but there should be some type of wrench flat on it.

You can either: A, leave the Stab a little loose in the VA - the pressure will keep it tight once it's aired up, or B, put a tank o-ring in the VA and tighten the Stab down against that.

place a tank O-ring in asa before threading in stab. if the gauge is dead, use a pair of vise grips?
