NorCal vs. SoCal AO Day is ON!

[ProX9]

We should make an AO day package that comes with a dvd, pictures, and a t shirt.

Carbon, I started using a fingertip method of walking the trigger on my eblade, it seemed to work pretty well on the X-mag...until I got rid of it.

Its interesting how the triggers are all different. Took me a while to figure out the eblade, but once I did it was a monster. With the viking, all you have to do is look at it and it starts ripping away.

Steel-

You're basically going to be my deciding factor if I blow another $1200 on another marker. I really hope I don't like shooting a Viking.

Right now my E Blade treats me right...hell it better everything on the marker has been changed. But honestly I can never keep a marker. I will upgrade and get the best parts I can then I just get bored and need another marker to build.

Ive noticed that with the AKA guns that I have shot. I shot a was'd excal yesterday and once you started walking it, it just took off and kept going very easily. But I couldnt get it to shoot more then one shot per pull. It was actually pretty cool.

[Steelrat]

Leather, if you like to upgrade, you're gonna hate the viking. There is nothing to do to it. Nothing. But thats part of its appeal.

ok im a lil confused with the hydro date. my tank says 10-CL-01. is that out of hydro? i went to this website www.hydrotesters.com and it said that i dont have to retest it until 9/04. can anyone clarify this? thanx

ZAust and Rook. To be legal, the bottle has to be tested by 10/04... that means that to be legal, it needs to be tested in 9/04 or sooner. In reality, very few store owners or field operators know about, or enforce this. The 36 months actually start at the beggining of the month, not the end. If you wait until 10 /04, that would be more than 36 months.

BTW...Your bottle may be eligible, under the new DOT exemption letters, to be on the 5 year test cycle, or may be eligible for the 5 year extention after this upcoming test next sept.. Send me the make and model information and we will be glad to look it up.

I'm kinda hoping that will stop my obsession.

Also people that have PMI tanks. They use Luxfer which are 5 year hydro.

Yes, it must be tested SEPTEMBER of 2004. If you wait until October, it will be OUT of hydro.

You have no worries at this time.

Dude, how did hydroguy find his way onto this thread? Like his site though!

[AutomagRook]

i have no idea. the 1st link i put was the wrong one also! i went to go to hydrotesters with an S at the end. i left out the S the first time i posted, which i later edited. very weird. tahts his first post too.

btw, steelrat where in antioch do you live?

[tsc]

Whoa now. I'm not all that good there dad. I just get some lucky shots sometimes.

(I did shoot for adam shannon at the IAO though )

[Steelrat]

I live kinda behind the movie theaters, near the intersection of Dallas Ranch and Pruitt Ranch.
