Air America parts???service???

Yes and no.

Classic AIR valve reg seats WILL work with the AA reg.

The AGD Piston housing will work in place of the AA piston but you cant get the pressure above 800PSI or else the reg starts bleeding air out of the spring pack. I have since replaced the oring on the original piston seat, will see if I can use the old piston instead of the AGD one.

i asked a guy at the guerilla air tent at the chicago open and he said take any air america tank to one of their dealers and they should be able to fix your problem. which also brings up the fact that guerilla air is not! AA or an evolution of AA. some guys from AA changed companies. i was looking at some of their regs, got some nice saftey features. like you can work on the top half of the reg, change spring, some other stuff, with the tank aired up!. plus they went the extra step with the part of the reg that screws into the tank. they've added i think half an inch of threads so it takes more unscrewing to remove the reg. also, along BOTH sides of the threads are ventings so IF you some how manage to start to remove the reg, at a certain point it will just start venting out air. with the 2 vents it won't spin, won't shoot around (or so they said on the second part). he says the recharge is good, but i have yet to try one out. i don't think they have an adjustable just yet.

Should be some kind of standard on this anyway, you would think.

also, along BOTH sides of the threads are ventings so IF you some how manage to start to remove the reg, at a certain point it will just start venting out air. with the 2 vents it won't spin, won't shoot around

This could be called revolutionary from a safety view. No chance for air bearing effect if the reg starts to unscrew.

Think this design could have a Pat.Pend on it? Who do you think that could be?

If you can not find any AA reg seats, use a mag seat AND a mag reg pin. if you do not use the reg pin with the seat, it will not work properly. O-rings shouldnt be a problem with a little digging
around you should be able to find urethane o-rings that will work, do not use black buna-n o-rings they wont work well at all............................................... .........

rumor has it national bought them up and yes several of the aa peeps are at ga now!!

[Muzikman]

Let's see, no AA booth (or company for the matter) and no AGD booth... I guess it's the end of the prank wars

I've used AIR valve seats in Vigalanties with no problem. Is there a difference when dealing with the tank regs?

The only thing I see is that the AGD piston housing doesnt hold pressure above 800 PSI. I used an AGD reg seat and the original AA Piston anf spring.

[Shane-O-Mac]

If you use regular mag seats, in any AA product, without changing the reg pin to a mag type, you will get varying pressure outputs as you shoot. the AA pin has a taper, which when used with a softer seat, willl lift off the seat at differnet angles and rates, which will make the pressure flucuate. just use the flat mag pin with the softe seat.

FYI, the mag seats will work in, Apoc's, Raptors, Uni regs, Violators, Black Ices, Vigilante's, and Messiahs.

If the tank side of a 'geddon is leaking you can first try and flip the seat, and that is the only AA product you can reuse or flip a seat on.........

OK, thanks for the info.

[LONEWOLFOO1]

ANY ideas for a replacement tank i am looking to replace my aa

[TheTramp]

The whole air system or just the tank? What type of marker are you putting it on?

For the whole system I suggest the MacDev 2004 Conquest HPA Reg. Maxflows are nice as well.

The MacDev can be found for a good price here:

Any new bottle will work.

Shane-

I will say that you and the rest of the AA crew will be missed! It was alot of fun at the past 2 IAOs with you all.

If you're ever in the NY/NJ area, let me know. Beers are on me!
