What Deuce said. Call and tell them what out put you want and they'll do that prior to sending it. Also, PM Mel or Bill and ask what the reg is rated too. I bet it'll handle 900 psi.

I'll try to do that if/when I order it. Gonna wait a little bit though.

But wait, I have a new theory why my mag started leaking. The last time I shot when it was shooting really well, was with that GA 48/3k. Once I switched to the CF tank, it started leaking. Could it be that the GA tank could have just been outputting more pressure? Gonna try both tanks at the field next saturday. I'm trying to take apart the myth reg to see if it has some shims that I could maybe use for the CF tank.

I was snooping through my garage, and I found a tiny tiny allen wrench, It was a 1/20. so I took apart the reg, and bought some nylon washers. The ID of them were too small so I dremel'd them a bit to fit snugly and I'm thinking of popping in two. Just for comparison, the thickness of two of those is the same thickness of the reg spring's coil. is that good?

Do you have anyway of testing the output pressure of the tank reg?

ASKA · 12-11-2010, 12:55 PM

Yeah, I've got a 0-1200 Gauge on my ASA

Then try it out. See if it bumps the pressure up. I never thought I needed more than 900 ~ 950 psi input on any of my mags. I personally don't see the need for a 1200 psi reg. It makes that tank "mag only".

That's what I thought too. Gonna try to hit up the Scuba shop again later on today.

Thanks a lot for the help guys!
