co2 regulator???

[Rox&Mud]

Does anyone know where I can get a variable or preset regulator to operate an arb from a paintball co2 tank? preferably for low $.

Couple options that are prebuilt... powertank makes the "jetpack" that a lot of comp guys use for arb's. http://www.powertank.com/products/productID/141

And lowes actually sells a kobalt brand paintball co2 reg http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=166441-61735-J-6901-100

IMHO, it's not worth going with a little tank when you can buy a preset reg for a real co2 tank for under $40 and have something that can fill tires and run tools too.

I have a large powertank already. I have run into situations due to trail breakage that my big tank has been depleated. I want a little tank just for the arb so I won't loose use of my arb. I have seen the JetPak, big $$, but all I need is a regulator that works with a pin valve on a paint ball tank.

Would it not be cheaper and easier to just find an adapter to mate the small tank to the large powertank regulator for those just in case situations?

Probably, I just haven't been able to find the right parts. The pin valve is the problem. I called powertank yesterday and they just wanted to sell me the JetPac.

Go to your local welding supply house. Here near Greensboro I go to Linde Gas(National welders just bought out). Talk to the counter help, most of the time they will give you old custmer cores. pm if you need some.....

Too bad you're not closer, I have all kinds of paintball gun parts. You can buy a screw on pb tank valve that people use with remote tanks for $10. They use 1/8" npt. with enough fittings you could make anything work. http://www.paintball-discounters.com/get_item_010427_universal-fill-aadapter-new-style.htm

I just went through my old junk. I do happen to have a co2 tank pin valve to left hand thread 1/4" npt fitting/adapter. it's just straight through--no on/off valve, but it will screw straight into any co2/o2/n2o reg seeing as how they have 1/4" NPT LH inputs...
Pm me you're addy and I'll send it if you like.
