    All paintball specific regulators should have the same threading if I'm not mistaken.

    As far as just buying the regulators, that is harder. The "saftey consensus" is that players do not have the training or intellegence to install/remove/service their own tank regulators. I agree because 14 year old jonny paintball should not be trying to be a armchair airsmith when his experiment could severly dammage or kill someone. Most companies will sell one if you eather call and tell them you are having an airsmith do the swap, or they will let you mail the tank in for work..if that dosn't work have the airsmith that you would have do the work call in. I won't try to remove my own tank regs if they have never been removed before because I lack the tools to safely get if off from how the factory mounts it (torque or a locking compound like lock-tite).

    Basically getting a tank regulator with the degree of annomity that the internet provides is frowned apon and none of the companies I know of will do it. Call up and ask what you need to do to get one.

      I think Compulsive sells Just regs, i could be wrong.

      Call the company of the reg you want, and ask how much for a reg, solo.

      And yes, threading should be standard.

          If they didnt, I'd hide the body and then send it back to crossfire for a rebuild?

            ftw. That deal is tempting on a PE that isn't giving me trouble and is only half way to hydro.

              I just talked to someone at Crossfire and they said their standard high pressure tank is preset to about 800 PSI but if I called in and ordered one directly from them, that they could customize the output pressure up to 900psi at no extra charge so it would be perfect for the RT. He said if it ends up a bit too low or too high, that I could ship it back to them again and for about $10 the could customize it again. How is that for customer service. They will also swap regulators on an old tank for you if you send it in.
