    That looks sweet IMO. Oh make sure you tell all the kiddies that the big knob on the back is your adjuster switch for all of your firing modes

      I prefer the look on their faces when I tell them the working bits are older than they are

        Now, to be honest, the fit and finish on my particular unit is not as good as an AGD part. Maybe quality will vary from part to part, but mine seems a little rough. I am definitely considering polishing the interior where the piston o-ring would sit.

        Definitely not on the A-Team.

          Cool, now does anyone know how much the back half of a classic valve weighs?

            Should be in the titanium mag thread.

              I think it weighs about as much as a duck!

              Seriously, that looks sweet. If its put together right and all the safety precautions are used, there shouldn't be anything wrong with this.

                              I still don't see how it's unsafe. Even if it starts to unscrew, once the o-ring seal is broken the air will just vent out.

                              I mean, you unscrew a preset tank at 850 psi and it doesn't go flying off in the opposite direction.
                              My feedback

                              Made in USA - it matters.

                                On this setup the air source (at ~800 psi) is on the valve facing the reg back. So, yes, the oring will pop, but it will not vent the air down until the tank is finished. Also, those threads are pretty short and there is not a lot left by the time the oring is out. It's not a jet situation, just a pop possibility with a particularly nasty projectile.
