I just got a used Armageddon in the mail today, and after a while of messing with it (not like tinkering, just moving it around on the gun, etc.)I tried to inscrew the Arm from the reg as I had done a few minutes ago. Well, it was pretty hard, and then all the sudden the tank starts unscrewing from the arm. I've had a Crosfire preset for a while but never had this problem. My question is...
what do I do to SAFELY get the arm back on again? I did a search and all that I can find is that I don't want to use any type of Loctite, Teflon, glue(duh), etc. on it, but there has been some debate on whether hand-tightening the valve was enough. So, should I get it put on by a shop or something, or just tighten by hand? If I get a shop to do it, where should I go? Scuba store? Hydro-test place? If I do it by hand, how should I do it? Hold it in my legs and use my hands, or use a vice for the reg and screw in the tank part with my hands? One last thing, that is, if you tell me to use a vice that would hold the tank, how should I do that? Wouldn't the vice part that grips the tank mess up the windings and all? I generally thought that was a bad thing to do. Well, thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.
