    What happened to the screw-in adjustable tanks??

    I just spent an hour or so checking pball websites to see if i could find an 68cu 4500psi screw-in adjustable tank for under $300.I don't wanna buy a tank and regulator just something i can screw in and go. I need the adjustable because I htiknk i'm going to go retro within the next to monthes and I wanna step up from the 3000psi to the 4500psi. Any help is appreciateD!!!!!!

        PMI sold the M2000, but I haven't seen them for a while (mine's already been re-hydro'd once).

          Get a screw-in, and add a Thor or Max-Flo bottom line. There are no adjustable screw-ins on the market right now. they didn't sell well, because anyone needing adjustablility usually went whole hog and got a proper system.

          Your ReTro will run fine off 800-850psi, if you want to kick up uyour output pressure, you'll want a Max-Flo or Flatline system, which can output over 800psi, which many systems can't.

            will the horizontal max-flo reg make my tank adjustable?

            also,i can change my velocity that way too,right?

            where can I find one?

            how much are they?

            thanx

              maxflow vert regs are around $150 and remember you wont be able to go over your preset tanks pressure(800psi or so)

                Adding a thor or max-flo adds another regulator, meaning you have tripple-regged your mag, causing massive shootdown. No go...

                I run my RT right now with a screw in preset at 850 PSI and the trigger is nice and snappy. I just don't have the money right now for an adjustable. Used to have a rex but it was screwed up, so I sold it (cheap to someone who would repair it) and just put a screw-on reg on that bottle.

                Long story for nothing. See, I'm bored

                  The 'flo flows so well, you shouldn't have any shootdown. The bottomline is available used from the many Shocker owners with Air systems. Also most likely from SP.

                    I may be wrong - I never had much use for Smart Parts - but isn't a Max Flo a dual reg system as it is? Wouldn't you be quadruple regging?
