    Can an HPA tanks.....repair question

    Is it safe or even plausible to consider repairing the tank to reg threads in an aluminum HPA tank?

    HA LOCKTITE AGAIN , depends on the condition of the thread's , did it destroy the reg ? I had 1 that trashed the reg but I was able to save the bottle ; took a seal pic & cleaned out the bottle threads , then went through it with a 5/8 tap ( don't remember the thread count ) , put the reg on ( no o-ring ) & leave it about 1 thread loose , then see how it feels if its too loose ya might want to trash the bottle
    REMEMBER ALLWAYS THINK SAFTEY if you think it's the least bit loose or if your not sure get someone with more expreience to look at it , . I'm sure your life is worth more than 150$ ,I know mine is
    PS if you feel the bottle is good you should allways keep this bottle for yourself
    The above statment is my OPINION & I'm NOT allways right
