    Actually a gas through is not the way to go. A Expansion Chamber is better choice. Give it time to vaporize before it gets up to the valve. You want that. And even better might be a Palmer Stabilizer. They are the best way to run CO2 into a classic valve.

    All you need for any of those is a Verical adapter. They all will screw into a standard verical adapter. You can get them with one side 1/8" threaded hole or two. One for outlet to the valve obviously and if you get the two hole you can put a gauge in there and see what pressure your outputting to the line. Kinda cute and interesting.


    If I were setting up a mag for C02 it would be a Male Palmer stabalizer as a fore grip with a two hole Verical adapter with a Dye Mini guage in one side and a 16 oz Cro Molly C02 tank with a antisiphon tube placed in it just right for that markers ASA configuration... thats the ideal set up. Will work like a champ. All the time.

    Anti Siphon the tanks too.


    AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!

      Yeah, that is a better set-up either way than a gas-through. I was thinking of terms of cost. Gas-throughs do allow for some expansion, but an expansion chamber would be much better. I've never had any experience with a Palmer.
      The arrogance of other people annoys me. My own doesn't bother me a bit.

        Most gas throughs have NO expansion area. Most of them as simply holes through a piece of aluminum and do not have any more area than a line would have. And you can pick up a five or six chamber one for just a tiny bit more than a gas through. sometimes the same. You still need the Veritcal adapter most times.

        The Palmers are like 80-90 bucks. And they are excellent. An nice large expansion chamber is like 40 - 50 bucks.

            What you need is a vertical adapter (Look Here) and then an expansion chamber (Look Here)

            That should get you where you are going.
