"...and when starting a project"...the lector stated "ask yourself why."
please do this. I saw a pic of something similar. makes no sense. if TK and AGD spent so much time designing a super-fast valve. why muss it up? I find it hard to post in these evangelical-type, tame, new testament-like, words. why can my words contain no colour on AO??? who is it that we are protecting?
haha. im sure i circumvented something or other and the mighty ao fingering is going to happen. hopefully they will drip some gold cup on it first. Muss isnt a curse word....just to clarify, but was the replacement for one.
Im sorry. I dont understand the use of this "mod." even if you shorten the body, you still have the asa in the same spot, and you are going to save no weight using a foregrip reg.Comment

How bout using a larger hole in the back, large enough to connect both of the airlines, and then 1 large plug. Going from the pics in the first post. Might have to be a larger hole than the standard 1/4npt but should be easier to do.
As far as why do this? I personally find that with some of my setups the Reg is up too close to my goggles, and with the way I like to hold and shoot, a shorter rear end would be nice. Weight savings are a non-issue really, no matter how light your gun is, the tank and hopper of paint will make that negligable imo.Comment

I don't use a foregrip reg currently as I use my Dynaflow to bring the pressure down. I haven't been to a field to chrono since installing the cap'd valve mod. Therefore, I can't comment on consistancy. I may have to use a foregrip reg and then weight savings would be nil.
I like to think out of the box. I offer no apologies for this...

Why not just drill from the top to connect the two passages and then put in a set screw plug?Comment

Because! That's good enough. Would it be considered absurd to want to take a different path. I'm sure TK and AGD would agree. Otherwise they would have produced a piece of crap blowback!Originally posted by Chris TS-1438"...and when starting a project"...the lector stated "ask yourself why."

I thought the same, but I wanted to minimize the holes.Originally posted by koleahComment

Seems like a couple of the approaches would work on this. I think a thinner back cap would be a cleaner look though. By the time you thread and put set screws in the back and one vertically, its gonna look kinda jake IMO.Comment

I decided to toss another option into the mix. However, I don't like the idea of a screw through the top. Additionally the valve would need to be made even more custom. I spent 30 seconds changing the image so I figured I would post it anyways.Comment

Still interested in the hack job. Any machinist willing to make the cut?Comment

I remember someone doing a mod like this years ago, they machined a flat back cap to replace the back half of the regulator, its simple, anyone could do the mod, and if you dont like it you can go back to stock.Comment

Read through the entire thread. He's aware of the caps.Originally posted by ArstronComment

I had to reread it a couple times, my brain just isnt working today. Sorry I see what his doing now.Comment

Version 1 of the Hacked Valve Mod is started. Found out that my Bro-in-law is a tool and dye guy with all the basics.
Crossing fingers as first pic looks good. now onto the hard part.
I will post pics asap. Only problem is that he sends them over phone and I can't get them to the computer.Comment
