You don't need a regulator for that automag, it has one built in. As a matter of fact usaually added regulators decrease the mags performance by starving the valve.

Anyways what kind of tank do you have? if it's a screw in like this tank then you would screw it in just like you would Co2

ok i'm not quite sure what your talkning about but check the online store at www.airgun.com, i found this (http://store.airgun.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=17&Product_ID=215&CATID=6) . This part would screw onto your body rail right in front of your trigger frame

Ok, the problem here is that you need a on/off adapter to screw your tank into. This would remove your need for the on/off in your picture, you will however need another macroline elbow fitting. Since it looks like you have a kapp dropzone cradle, the on/off adapters at the bottom of this link http://www.paintballgear.net/paintball-gas-systems-cradles-kapp-cradles.html should help you out perfectly.

Your gonna kick yourself when you see how easy this is...
First of all, it looks like the cradle you have is meant for a non-screw in type N2 tank. Just buy one of the Shocktech or 32 Degrees drop forwards and get a regular "duckbill" ASA adapter (The drop forward will screw in directly beneath your trigger frame, and the duckbill ASA adapter will screw directly into your drop forward) Moving forward--simply take a 90 degree macroline elbow (obviously use teflon tape or Loc-tite on the threads of the macroline elbow) and screw the elbow into the hole on the corresponding side of your "duckbill". Finally attach the macroline into your 90 degree macroline elbow and attach the other end of the macroline into the 90 degree elbow that is connected to the regulator on the gun.
Hope this helps,
Aaron

I can't believe you have a mag and a bunch of other nice stuff, and you don't even know how to connect your tank. That's friggin sad.

Yes, all you need is the kapp on/off adapter (which matches your drop forward) and a 90 degree microline fitting to connect your hose to the on/off adapter. You will be able to screw your tank into the on/off adapter.
