    Why does nobody sell tanks!??!?

    I want to buy a tank. A 45 cu in tank.

    I don't need a reg. I have two regs in my desk drawer. I have tons of regs. I have regs everywhere I look. I don't need a reg! I need a tank!

    Why the hell is it so hard to find somewhere that sells tanks? NOBODY sells tanks. I'm gonna have to find another blasted tank/reg I don't need and put the reg in the reg drawer with the rest. It's messed I tell ya.

    Why?

    b/c they wouldn't sell good. most ppl don't wanna pay for an airsmith to put a reg on a bottle they just paid $xxx for. i'm sure you've seen threads in the air systems forum '68/45 adj f/s/t!! will trade fro 114/45 adj!'

    Definately extra lube. I keep two bottles at all times. Can't leave home w/o your lubricant.

          SP, Crossfire I would guess, Luxfer I think is the company that makes many of the tanks - talk to a dive shop you might find others

            There is a company here in Maryland that manufactures almost all of the tanks that are out there for paintball use, called Carleton, Pressure Technology Division... Maybe you could buy a tank from them, or maybe they only sell in bulk...

              www.pbgear.com sells them. They list them in the co2 tank sections for some reason. I'm pretty sure they carry 45 or 47 or whatever. Ouch though, they're like $200 a peice for a 4500psi bottle.

                They are the same price as a tank with a preset reg on it... Can someone say: rip off?

                      Yeah I know Smart Parts sells just the tank part, but it's prolly the same price as if you bought the reg with it.

                              Most places stopped selling bottles without regs after that mother got killed by a co2 tank. Low liability is good liability. Make sure Tuna reminds you of the torq spec for putting regs on bottles.
