To double regulate or not to double regulate

[Shane-O-Mac]

gutting the air valve and running off another reg has ben done. palmer makes a side tap stabilizer that works well for that. i am also going to do exactly what you said alien, i am going to run mine off an Air America messiah. as for secondary reg choices, go with the AA messiah or vigilante', for the price, the vigilante' is the a great choice, and you cant beat a 100% lifetime warranty.

It's not really worth gutting the air and doing that. If the AIR is well mantained it will easily be as consistent if not more than those regs. Keep it well oiled and change orings if needed.

There you go!! Ityl hit the nail on the head; the AIR is actually a very consistent regulator!! Seem to me people who gut the AIR in favor of another reg just like to waste their money!! The difference you get in velocity variations and accuracy is purely academic!!

Damn, nice setup you got there JEDI. I think I'll go for the sidewinder after all. What do you usually get over the chrono?

Thanks for all the replies guys

I usually chrono right through the Side Winder, and leave the IVG alone. Its really consistant. Actually I rarely "chrono" it. Its more like checking to see that its right where I left it last time.

But any way the past few times were some where like 275, 276, 278, 275. It very rarely bounces more than 5 fps in either direction.
