    Tanks that vent line when turned off?

    I got to thinking about ULE parts and weight reduction in general. It occurs to me that there are a lot of components beyond the body and rail that should be taken into consideration.

    For example, I have a Proconnect on my air line to allow valve removal/oiling etc.. It is on an Armageddon tank. Proconnects are fairly heavy compared to a Macro 90.

    So - I am going to look at the entire system and see where weight can be reduced - tank, drop, lines, etc..

    Oh, Yeah, I had a question - I have heard that some tanks will vent pressure in the low side when you turn them off. What type does that? That would save me the weight of a proconnect.

    Thanks

    Centerflag adjustable vent the air out when you cut them off. 4500psi regs are Stainless steel tho, so that would put a few more lbs. back on.

      Actually the markers are light. the only way I can see to save weight is to use titanium in the Mag and togo with a real light tank. I'm using a a bastard child Classic with a titanium trigger frame, titanium drop,titanium rail,and a tak thats 91/4500 for a gas hog.
