    Look for a local fire extinguisher service place or ask your local fire department where they get their stuff done. $50 is crazy, I was paying $12 and could get the tank back the next day.

        Check with the local fire departments and local dive shops. You might even talk to the manufacturer of your tank and see if they can do it. I do know there is a paintball specific hydrotester but the name eludes me, ATM.

          I believe this may be what you're referring to http://www.crossfireinc.com. My local place sends their thanks there. I've actually seriously contemplated a custom tank to go with my mag if I get it finished.

              Got mine done last month at a place that does Fire station equipment. Had it back the same day cost $25. My local shop wanted $35 I think and it takes 2 weeks.

                  I did mine through Ninja as well - had them do some reg swaps at the same time.

                    If your already concerned about the $50 cost I would not suggest Ninja. You'll spend more than half that on shipping...

                      you are correct as the ups ground signature required is 15-22 for most houses.

                        Crossfire charges 25 flat. Ninja charges 24 for just test, extra to remove reg and extra to install reg.

                          we do but we also get your tank done in 3-5 days

                          no matter who you chose you should get a reg - regs will wear out and need to be replaced or rebuilt every 5 years.

                            Crossfire is good, but I used my local dive shop last time and they sent them to a manufacturers service.

                            EDIT: Ninja is right about the reg rebuild, many people don't consider that.

                              If a person pays for removal and install of reg, do you gguys put air in the tank to see if it needs to be rebuild or not?
