Need a way to release pressure from line

[frischtr]

what I am running into is that when I turn my tank off the gun will fire once or twice due to air still in the line, but below 400psi the gun will not cycle, I have no way to vent the air.

This is strange... When I turn my tank off, and fire twice or three times, the excess pressure begins to vent out of this hole (see pic) until there is no pressure remaining in the line...

So what's the point of him showing us that? You can't disconnect those when there's pressure...

you can but you must disconnect the QD with a little musical and a large POP

All mags are different... What it looks liek to me is that each batch comes out a bit differently then the last one, which is why some mags will work fine at the reccomended 500psi, but most others won't give you anything more then .5 balls per second.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead. I haven't been getting any email notices about this thread... and I just ventured into it again and saw there were posts...

AGDlover, I believe I have taken those quick disconnects off while there was pressure in the line, but it's that pop that I'm afraid of. I did it once and never did again. There is a little black oring in the Q/D's and I'm worried that that POP would bust the oring. Much like tank orings.

Does anyone know if that huge blast of air does any damage to the black oring? If it's safe to do that every time, I'm ditching my slide check... the thing is huge. The thing is, I don't want the oring to go bad because I'd find out it has become bad at the field. And then I'd be screwed for the rest of the day.

Its not bad for the oring, but the blast of air has a chance of blowing it out of the QD to be lost. If you want to do that, just go to your local harware store and pick up extra orings in the plumbing section. They're pretty cheap and always nice to have spares.

then I say get SS line with a Slide check and QD and to make it look purdy some nice heat shrink. And dont worry the pop wont hurt I useto have it before I had a Slide check

[Boydster]

I have s/s line and a slide check and several Q/D things. It's just that slide check is HUGE. It totally ruins the look of my mag.

I may just get some spares of those black orings and go with that route.
