    My, this looks almost silly...

    I had a couple spare Raptor Regs sitting around and decided to throw part of one on my classic pnuemag. It actually feels lighter. I don't have a scale so I can't say by how much.

    If you have an extra reg back, I wouldn't mind buying one. Let me know

        That's tight. Do you carry it by the grip only or does it sit on your arm somewhere?

        I think Shane-O said the AA backs will rotate loose after a while without any loctite.

        If someone asked "is that a mag?" do you just say "yes"?

          If someone asked "is that a mag?" do you just say "yes"? Nobody's asked yet.
          I haven't played with it in the tight setup yet, but that will happen soon I hope.

            Don't forget that there is no zpin to prevent it from unscrewing.

                Doesn't seem to. I can try to make a video of it shooting later if you like.

                  Looks what we call unsafe...

                    um, already did?

                    Seemed to work fine. No leaks.

                    I'm using the spring pack from the mag, not the original one from the reg.

                      Actually, they work very well. It also has the advantages of being a lot lighter and has 8 holes, which is great if you have one of the older valves that doesn't line up correctly. I have been using one for a few years with no problems. You can use the flats on the side to get a very snug fit.

                        Just make sure it doesn't unscrew with the vibration when you start shooting faster. If it does, you'll have a nice chunk of metal aiming towards your goggles.

                          How is it unsafe to air up?

                          Do explain.

                            Ok, that is a good point, so I'll just have to keep an eye on it.

                              You can, whatever...

                              I said that I would not, I like my life and safety thank you.


                              To explain how its unsafe, the valve assembly is rated to 3000 psi, intact. It appears that someone has milled down the regulator part of the valve to.. well who knows what rating now?

                              Not to mention the Z-lock pin is also gone. Its just dangerous in general...

                              Unless theres an LPR somewhere I am not seeing?
