tapping holes

[FARMER00]

would it be safe for me to drill ten tap an additional whole in a verticle asa adapterto fit a guage or should i just leave it?

[MANN]

Yes it is possible. Not hard if you have done it previously. Why are you wanting a pressure guage. Preset tanks are always the same, and adjustable ones have gages. If your wanting it for an lpr than Id say go for it.

[FARMER00]

well i plan on running co2 and hpa on the gun ( not at the same time of course) because. so i just wanted to know what my performance with co2 was. oh and would it be ok to run HPA through an expansion chamber? or will i blow seals an whatnot.

[MANN]

Most HPA is only 8-900 psi coming out of the bottle. CO2 is @650 ish give or take. I have used hpa through many diff expansion chambers. I would not worry about getting a guage.

[FARMER00]

i thought mags had to have at least 850 psi? how does co2 work in a mag then?

[pepple84]

co2 output depends on temperature, at 70 degrees the output is around 850 psi. this is why co2 is more efficient on warm days rather than in winter weather

OOps, I thought this was going to be about a three way Ha, ha. Tapping holes, lol.

if you are going to use a gas through why dont you jsut find one with a gauge port on it, it would be a lot easier (you will have to get special taps to do the 1/8npt fitting)

hmmm. My fill stations read 600ish. I will have to hook a co2 tank up to a reg now.

I know its in a liquid state instead of gas, but liquid should have to have higher compression or colder temps.
