Guys, Tuna sells the good ones for only 47-shipped; slightly cheaper than those you are looking at and with better quality.

Tuna, can you get these with the threads reversed? I'd like to have male on the socket end and female on the plug end without having to resort to using gender reverse adapters and taking up an extra three inches of space.

Moss I like this setup, but one question though. With the connect at the gun valve doesn't the air from the LP side stay in the hose? Or does the QD bled it off?

BTW very nice Mag, I like the mill work. Also I like the idea of chaining the Battery Dissconnect on the line, easy to find, and never loose..


Thanks

Wanna buy my air line setup? (Grease gun hose, Pro connect), I'm sending off like 3 things to get fixed tomorrow (emag, halo, video card), and the shipping and fixit fees are gonna be a lot . Quick cash please! Thanks!

iuno about that raptor idea.
i have a 68 4500 rapter running my emag, with a proconnect at the valve.

edit:

wait i lied, i dont have the proconnect on my emag, its on my back up mag. i tried putting the proconnect at the valve but the rail got in the way, however, it works fine on other mags obviously.


my main problem is, i NEVER know what i'm putting into the emag unless i rig a gauge up on it, which i dont wanna do cause it'd make it look funny. thats the only problem i have. the only way to turn the tank off is to unscrew the adjusting nut and let it bleed off. then when you want it on, screw it in to who knows what pressure ;\

actually, most macroline have under 300psi working pressure, with burst of 3000psi. They creep at higher pressure. (stretchs) that is why we need ot replace them regularly. even the fittings have same issues.(they are rated for similiarly working pressure) strongest macro type tubing have 6000 burst and 400 working. it only comes in milky white. (I use this stuff, buying bulk at 1.25 a ft, with fitting rated at 1200psi)

3000 psi tanks are hydrotested to 5000. safety margins are part of safety regulation.

Checked the local Hardware store, and the grease gun hoses I found for $5 were rated at 3k working, and 12k burst.
