NOT!
Ok, first off I would like to rant.. please excuse me..
I HATE ANS! OMG I WANT TO KILL! MUST EAT ANS FACTORY!!!
Ok, now that thats done..
A while back I bought a crappy cocker off paintball sycho(I think thats his name) and he clearly stated that he hadnt gassed it up in a while so he is not to blame for this.. but I get the gun, covered in filth, no problem, so I take it apart. Everything is fine and dandy but the front block wont come off.. wth? It has a gay ANS low pressure chamber on it.. its also stripped to hell. I try to get this off for weeks, finally I just take a wrench to it, at the risk of scratching the hell out of it (and I did), and I finally got it off.. what a PITA. Ok, I wipe everything off, la de dah, get really pissed at the pneu hoses, throw them away, take it to the shop and tell them to deal with it :p
I call them, they tell me that the ANS LPR is busted. Wow big suprise. I buy a used PPS rock off ebay (good stuff) and come back. I give it to them, they wait about 2 months before deciding to work on my gun (:p not really) and they said they had to replace 1 oring, but other than that it was good to go. Great, I buy an ASA, macroline (god I hate macroline) and go home. I gass it up.. MAJOR LEAKAGE!! I play around with the reg, I turn it up and down, playing around and shooting, seeing if I can maybe get it to stop leaking. Its an ANS Gen-X 2 reg (oh how lovely!) and as soon as I turned it up to where the valve stopped leaking (in the gun), the over pressure saftey or whatever (vents when the pressure is too high) starts spewing air and oil all over. SOOO, I call up the shop. They said it was working there, but they hadnt used the ANS reg (blah). Ok. My brother who has been playing for a while, owns a '97 cocker and knows how to work on them, says he can fix it. Yay.. we take everything off, and... haha a 1/8" allen wrench wont fit into the sear lug to take the hammer out. Wonderful. I call up the shop and they say sometimes the factories screw up blah blah balh blah blah blah blah whatever, and to try a '3' metric wrench because it is just a tad smaller. I dont have any metric wrenches :p So I send my mom out and she buys me a set (thanks mom) and.... lol 3 doesnt work, but im bored so I try 2.5 and cha ching! Yay, I take the valve out and there is this mangled orange oring sitting on the back of it.. hmm I wonder why its leaking? Not to mention the valve had been chopped to hell by someone, obviousally obsessed with making their gun LP. My brother gives me his old valve, valve pin and cup seal (thanks bro) and I put that in, gas it up.. no leaks, yay.. I shoot about 30 shots and all the sudden the ANS reg starts doin' its thing again. Spewin air and oil out the pressure release thingy. Ok, so I play around with the pressure, and I back it down just right before it starts leaking.. yay it seems to be working.. except for the shootdown :( You can HEAR the shootdown. You dont even have to be shooting fast. 5 bps is enough, and you can hear every shot shoot less and less air :(

Right now I just wanna kill this reg. I think I am going to buy a new one. The thing is, I dont wanna spend much more money on this. I mean I was thinking 30 tops, and its really hard to get a halfway decent reg for that.. I was looking at those PMI inlines but they look kinda cheap.. does anyone know if there are shootdown problems with these? I've looked at ebay and there isnt much there. This gun is really crappy so I dont want to go overboard and get a really nice reg.
Here is the picture of when I bought it.. it looks basically the same now besides the ANS LPR

Anyway, does anyone have any reccomendations for a decent, but cheap reg? (or does anyone have one for sale? ;))
