Anyone got any suggestions?

i don't see anything wrong with it...

[m0l0t0v]

Look on top of the o-ring.. its bent!

[edit] on the lip of the reg.

i imagine the o ring will still seal it off. try to put it in your marker, then tell us what happens.

Well, the bent before was down, but i hit it with a hammer + a screwdriver to put it more or less to level. It was working fine until I saw it bent up now? It works fine, but I'm afraid of future problems.

It's better to have the gouge up than down because everytime I degassed my marker it woudl break and oring. I lost about 20 orings with that bent.

i had a co2 tank like that. no big deal just dont degass unless you have to.

[RT pRo AuToMaG]

Ahh! See it now. I had an old co2 tank and that whole part actually broke off and it still worked fine.

When it quits working fine, you will have to replace the valve.....
(Just stating the obvious...)

Got enough teflon on there? You don't need that much only 3ish wraps around works fine.

just put an extra oring in your asa, it should be fine.

w00t. Thanks then.

But, if I do want to buy a new reg for it, can I just put any I want and ask a scuba shop to change it?

My crossfire reg has a similar dent, works fine.

take it to a certified airsmith, so that they can loc-tite it and torque it down properly... you heard what happened to that mother in cali... didnt you? - always wanna be safe
