I REALLY hope this isnt a paper weight

Just bought this with my fingers crossed about the reg seat... take it apart and find the 3k seat...

Opinions before I put 4500psi behind it?

[need4reebs]

look for a 4500 seat and be safe

This is what you should do...
Since you have it apart already, you should rebuild it and use a new seat. Once that is done, don't take it apart until it fails...probably years if you keep the air going to it clean. I have a few seats left, but you will probably ruin the reg piston trying to change it yourself. Do yourself a favor and send it here to get it done correctly. These are not easy. and that is not a 3k seat. It is the correct 4500 seat.

Tuna tried to show me how to change those reg seats and I still cant do it without destroying the piston. Listen to him

[BTAutoMag]

I don't doubt tuna's ability but I would rather destroy a piston learning how to do it myself then send it out and not learn anything. Its just got to work by the 29th

[blackdeath1k]

What's the 29th?

And I'm glad I'm not the only one willing to destroy a few dollars to learn something vs spend a few for someone already in the know to do the work.

the 29th is my wedding anniversary, and my wife wants to paintball.

I know, I have to go, she's dragging me

[blackdeath1k]

Make it the 30th and play in paintball explosions scenario game with us. Just get the wife hammered and tell her the 30th is the anniversary. :-D

[BTAutoMag]

its at our home field and we have it booked with a WHOLE lotta people. I think grimm's even comming.

besides I work at the field and because of that the party is in my budget.

any AO member that wants to come is invited!

[blackdeath1k]

You guys have a blast. I'm playing that morning locally. Then driving 6.5 hours up to round lake that afternoon to see in laws. So I can't pull off playing there. Sounds like a lot of fun though.

More relevant to your OP. Someone on here has been using 3k seats for a few years now without any issues. Not officially the proper thing to do. But no issues all the same. I just can't remember who was talking about it.

Hey BT just letting you know brotha it worked great for me about 1 year ago. I only decided to take it off my tank bcs I purchased a ninja shp. A nice tune up wouldn't be a bad idea tho. Hope it all works out for you, lmk if I am help in any way brotha. Joseph

[Justus]

Are there any leaks? Since that is a 4500 seat, maybe just put it back together and see if it actually works just fine or not first.

[BTAutoMag]

i havnt gassed it up yet, just thought that the reg seat needed to be red
