    In the vid clip where you have the LPR set at 44 psi, are you also using a SHP tank or standard output?
    If you are standard tank this is a no brainier for me, I hate having to have three separate tank for different output pressures.
    I like having the novelty of going full rt once in awhile but typically play with a normal pressure.
    I could sell my SHP tank and this would almost save me money (rationalizing)
    All the tests were done with the SHP, turns out the output pressure was in the neighborhood of 1300 psi, just figured that out today. I ended up pulling all the shims and the output pressure is still over 1000 psi. I don't believe that much pressure is necessary so I plan on testing at lower input pressures when I get a reg figured out. I expect the lower pressures to be fine, just need to test it.

      In this regard, is there any chance that you'll purpose build sleepers with the intention of getting the LPRs inside the grip frame on the mini vert? Or is some level of tinkering still required...?

        He already sells the foregrip reg now.

              I'm pretty sure it will be easy on my Mini Vert and Cougars M86, but not sure with the current design meaning perhaps on the next generation of frames with built in mounts and internal mounting brackets removed. (Purpose built for the OLTR)

              Inteli frames will be the most difficult and hold little interest for me to problem solve those issues. I would rather just machine a "Intelli replica" from scratch fixing the problems with a new frame.

                Lack of support for products on the shelf leads to little or no incentive to develop new ones and initiates the search for greener pastures.

                  Well the only bad thing is everything is raw.

                  If only he had everything anodised dust black.

                    I will start offering anodizing but ALL options will disappear which means there will be at least 75% less products.

                    For example, I offer 5 options of LPR-FG's that will decrease to 1.
                    Zero options for grip engraving.
                    Rails would only be offered in prepaid runs.
                    I would probably reconsider parts like my grip frames, it would likely only be offered in one version.
                    Triggers, 3 designs each for the Intelli and Emag, that would have never happened had the parts been headed to anno.
                    Etc, Etc, Etc.
                    There's a system in play behind the scenes that allows me to offer all the options I do. If you throw anno in the mix, it would literally double my current inventory which would never work in this market.

                        I really want to get on this list, but I'm really interested in having it be a sleeper with the LPR inside a mini vert frame. The problem for me (not that anyone cares) is that I don't have the tools to really do much tinkering, so I'd like to have a drop-in solution that just requires an LPR, a crescent wrench and some fiddling with low pressure tubing to get running pretty soon after getting the frame back from ano. I guess I'll wait for the next gen, though.

                        That said, you will definitely have SOME of my money, just not ALL of it. I'm happy to support your innovation, just at the time it best suits what I think is most innovative. If it really comes down to make or break, I'll hop on this one and make it work.

                          No idea if or when the next generation will happen, won't happen until current inventory is gone.

                            I'd be curious to see what the price tag on a package for a rail with airline milling, an LPR foregrip and a mini vert with the T-Rex will go for. If the package deal offers a convincing of a discount compared to buying each one separately, I might be swayed to start saving now.

                            But obviously I know it's too early to have an exact idea on pricing, particularly for packages. So I'll just start saving and subscribe to the thread.

                              A complete marker package with t-rex and foregrip reg, minus whatever you don't supply (sear, sear pin, and valve ?) would be interesting.

                              Course that's after you offer your body/rail combo.
