    Automag RT with preset tank... help!!!

    if I had an old RT (one where the air flows through the body rail).. can i put an 850psi preset output tank to it without the trigger being too reactive???..and if not...is there anyway to hook an external regulator (like an GenX ect. ect.) up to the gun without taping itto the side of the gun(lol)???
    Can I take the gasthrough forgrip off and replace it with an external regulator??

    and remember this is the old RT where the air flows through the body rail...

    I want to do this bc I want to run my preset tank to a RT..thanks

    Screw it in and find out if it is too reactive for you. A preset tank pressure won't damage your RT in any way. You may find the trigger return just perfect for you and you don't need to do anything. Quite a few folks run an RT on a preset. As far as an external reg, I would'nt. That would be adding a third reg and I've heard it can cause starvation problems. Sell your preset and reg and buy an adjustable if the trigger is too reactive for your tastes.

      I ran my RT on a preset for some time. Worked great. Try it and see what it does.

          From what I know about the older non-pro RTs, I don't think you could rig up a reg. Even if you re-fitted the whole asa with a Stabalizer for the front grip, you'd have a hell of time getting the air to the bottom input on the RT valve. I don't even know if that's possible. It would take some MAJOR work if you did want to try it.

          If this pre-set is too much, then your gonna have to go for a variable output tank, like an Air America or a Smart Parts Maxflo. Those are alot of bucks, but they'll work nicely on that RT. AGD has their flatline too, that's a good setup.

          I belive www.actionvillage.com has a Bulldog variable 47 for sale for abou $120 or $150. That's about as cheap as you can go for a varibale tank.

          Hope that helps.

            to be able to tell you how to mount you reg we would have to know what type of a reg you are looking at mounting.
