BFOUR Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Im trying to piece together a CO2 rig for my Tanaka M40. Ive got access to all the hardware in my fathers store but I need some help with the regulator. Does anyone know of a Regulator around $60 that will work. Ill be using a RAP4 12g charger http://www.rap4.com/paintball/os/disposabl...pter-p-239.html And this is the regulator i had in mind, its a bob long 360 in-line regulator Can anyone tell me if this regulator will ok for what Im doing? Thanks for anyhelp guys I appreciate it. Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I am a paintball normally before airsofter. if you use that reg with co2 you may have major problemos. Only pb reg i know for a fact will work great with CO2 is the palmer stabilizer I mean since your using it on a bolt I may be wrong. But I would still recomend the palmer stabilizer Link to post Share on other sites
jond36 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I second that. Regulators usually deal with HPA/Nitro Link to post Share on other sites
The Suppressor Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 No good using a regulator if you don't know what pressure you're pumping out? Get a pressure guage also, quite inexpensive - one that reads in increments of 50psi or similer. You'll need no more than 300psi on your guage. You'd need a specific spring in the regulator too for the pressures you'll be working at. Palmer do a complete setup ready to rock, no messing with a list of bits to hand that you THINK would be suitable, although that seems more convenient for you. Find out if you don't already, what psi the gun is capable of withstanding before you do any damage to it or yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
BFOUR Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I second that. Regulators usually deal with HPA/Nitro If you dont use a regulator youll blow the seals inside the mag. You cant have an air rig without one unless you want to keep replacing your seals. I ordered that reg and the gauges. Its taking longer, I got a call from them and they said their gauges were out of stock so I told them to just send out the reg for now. I have multiple gauges from RAP4. I know what I need to do for the rig. This reg I see no problems with. Ive researched it a bit, and so has Brainplay. When I get the reg Ill re do the OP as a build thread.

BFOUR Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I apologize for the double post, but Im not able to edit the alst post. Looks like this is going to take longer because this is what I got in the mail today... Link to post Share on other sites
MagnumBB Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 List off what you have and threading info... what is 1/8npt vs asa and 10-32 and label components. Lets see what we can do What is your goal? Compact and fits in a pouch? Small and fits in a radio pouch? Link to post Share on other sites
WildCard Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Sorry to thread jack but since this is also about CO2 conversion... I want to convert my VSR10 to co2 and I was wondering if this set: http://begadishop.com/catalog/product_info...dc017ebba78e8f4 In combination with a KIC gas bolt would work. I'd be fine with mounting the charger next to the scope. I'm looking for 500 fps but the ability to charge it up to 600 for international games. I also hope to be able to fire of follow shots quicker than now with a 150 spring. Link to post Share on other sites
BSXBlizzard Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I wouldn't advise that, Palmer's do a complete setup for around $140 and the pipes will withstand a lot more, it says in the extra information in the link you provided that the max output is 140psi. I'm pretty sure that wont get you to 500fps, and almost certainly not 600. Also, It may be better if you were to not use the disposable canisters and instead were to use bigger refillable bottles, as these may be bigger and harder to carry, but will last for longer and be cheaper in the long run.

WildCard Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Well i want a system that's still mobile and relatively light. The good thing about that system on Begadi is that it has everything I need, i have no idea what i should get from palmers... Link to post Share on other sites
MagnumBB Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 140 psi will get you beyond 500 fps, if your hammer is strong enough to open the valve... green gas at 80PSI produces 450+FPS... extrapolate that... Might I suggest something more purpose driven for your application? Check out brainplay's guide on ASF or maybe something like a Cold Shot will work. Link to post Share on other sites
WildCard Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Is there any possibility to change the valve of the KIC bolt instead of tapping a new hole? I've been looking at http://www.genuineinnovations.com/custom-v...-kit-w-co2.html for a regulator because i still have no idea what to get from palmers. Also it would seem that the cold shot is not an option anymore . Link to post Share on other sites
