    ION Reg

    Now this is probobly a silly question BUT I just bought a old Bushy as a project/backup gun and the person I was buying it from slapped on a Ion reg because he didn't want to include his gladiator so I was wondering if a Ion reg is any good or if it's crap. Anyone know about how acurate it is or such? Thanks guys!

    Ion regs are not very consistant, you should probably think about getting a decent reg, such as a AKA reg, or maybe the new dye regs, those work GREAT on my proto.

            How would they compare to a stock bushy reg?

              I like my Ion reg

              not as good as a 2 liter but consistant enough

                  agree w/ warped. ion regs are ok and much better than a stock bushy reg.

                      I have question. Is there any data to back up these claims? What makes the Ion reg better? What makes the CP reg better?

                      Somewhere i saw a chart of recharge times of common regs (i believe somewhere in haveblue's mess-o-info) and the 2 best were an aka reg and palmers reg. Now if i can find that chart i will post it and maky that can help with your decision; however i will not say one reg is batter than another as its difficult to quantify better. Assuming you mean faster recharge this chart (if it can be found) will prove better, however if "better" is more consistant, more reliable, smaller, lighter ect. i cant help you much. And it seems these folks cant either. (assuming you all provided all the info you had on these reg decisions already).
                      Tom was the last of a now extinct breed, a breed of players who build a community, a breed of owners who gave to the sport never taking more than what they deserved. I hope to see you at the feild again some day....

                        hard rock, a reg in my book has to recharge quickly, and be consistent, of which, the afformentioned regs are, the tops at the time are the AKA 2liter and Sidewinder, dye hyper2, cp, and palmers fatty. The ion reg is good, not the greatest not the worst, i mean it comes on a sub 300 dolar gun. It isnt the most consistent or the fastest, but it works. the stock bushy reg, is crap.

                          and how do you know that these regs have the propertys mentioned? Just a guess? or when you shot them at ~X bps you noticed consistancy in shot placement? or you checked them with pressure sesnors and computers? What how do you know this?

                          Many people know Ford trucks are built Ford tough; because Ford told them so . I hope your explination is better.

                            ok link to the chart http://haveblue.org/dyno/5jun04dyno.jpg
                            so looking at it again i was wronng palmer reg is nothing special; now this doesnt include a bushy or ion reg, but it will help you on your quest for "better"
