    would a slidececk work to degass using a lvl 10

    because of the unique problem degassing the gun when you have lvl 10 would a slide check work to efficantly dgass the gun?
    Minimag body, valve: CF05240, gas-thru grip, all-american, lvl 10, tourney velocity adj., flatline 68/3000 nitro FL01255
    SOON: intelliframe/medusa

    custom spyder, with every part replaced but they valve and body.

      Load's right, you pretty much have to have a way to degass with Lvl 10, I have one on both of my guns.

                Need one? It helps if you want to remove your valve for any reason. I'm assuming you're using steel braided line.

                The by product of the level 10 design is that there is stilla lot of gas pressure in the line even after you turn the gas off or unscrew the tank. Without bleeding off that gas before taking the valve out the on/off will shoot across the house like a cruise missle and harpoon the cat. Could be bad depending on how much you like cats.

                  No I have macro line. Will it degass enough after pulling the line from the fitting?

                    You won't be able to pull the macro line out, it works like a chinese finger trap to hold it in, when there is pressure on it, even a little, pulling it out is very difficult and not good for the fitting.

                      Well that sucks, I already have to fight it now to get it out. So I'll have to go to a steel braided hose setup to use the slide check, or can I keep the macro and hook one up to it somehow.

                        You can use macro. You'll just need a straight macro fitting to screw into the slidecheck. From there it goes into a regular stainless fitting into your valve.

                          or hit yourself in the head. I dont have Lvl 10, but i did that once with my e-mag when the reg wasn't totally leaked and the on/off hit me square int he temple of my head. I was like MOTHER FUUUUUUDRUCKERS
