front grip

[QUINCYMASSGUY]

Anyone know a company that makes a front grip with more of a spike shape? I want something to put in front of my Minimag with an air inlet on the side (or maybe even not gasthrough and just run direct to the valve). I'm considering a black autococker front grip, the kind found on the Orracles, Black Magics, etc, but I figured Shocktech, Warped Sportz, or Twisted would have had something closer to a spike shape (rounded tip hopefully) to put on my Mag.
A good brand/type of micro or macroline would be beneficial to know as well, as I might run it from my tank direct to the valve. Anybody got good products to suggest, let me know. I use steel braided from the V.A. to the valve right now but running a single line from Valve to Drop Forward is something I'm considering. I just don't want something that leaks air alot, easily breaks when sliding in, and still works well with the quick disconnect.

What about the torpedo reg, the one that comes standard on GZ timmys. I have one on my cocker and it works/feels good.

reg

It's a full reg though, right? I definitely don't need a reg cause it'll starve my mag like crazy plus I'd be paying 100+ dollars to do it. I'm interested in hearing about it though. Do you mean the reg on reg Timmy's or just the GZ one? Haven't seen it, do you have a pic?

well the "front grip" ont he oracles, black magic, etc......IS a reg.so you wont want those either. have you looked at the CP gas thru grips?

reg

The WGP front grip is a reg and not just a gas through with the airline from the tank connecting at the side? Goes to show how much I know about Autocockers, I didn't know that. That grip doesn't look too bad, still looking for something different but not bad at all. So if the tank has a reg and theres a reg as part of the front kit doesn't that make a cocker triple-regged which is way too much?

Anyone got updates on steel cable annoe'd black, a stronger form of microline or macroline available, or anything regarding that half of this thread?

technically it would have 3 regs. but the HPA tank reg and the foregrip reg are the ones that control operating pressure. the third reg is for the pnuematics.(it just supplies air to the 3-way and the ram)

in short, yes. the foregrip on WGP cockers is a reg.

steel cant be ano'd..only spcific types of aluminum can. I have seen people take steel braided line and then put heat shrink around it to make it look cooler. basic macroline if fine though. I have had the same peice on my spyder for 2 years. never a problem.

heat

Yeah I was actually thinking of putting rubber tubing over the steel cable to stop it scratching to body. Good idea. That sucks about the front being a reg, it looked cool. It's no huge deal but I'd like a cool front grip, I'll keep looking.

You can actually gut the reg and use it as a gas through grip, but it's makes for an expensive grip. Check Ebay for the WGP Ergo Reg and perhaps you can find something suitable.

I would suggest the CP foregrip -or the miniforegrip.
