    HPA Tanks

    Does anyone know where one could get a 18cu.in. or slightly larger HPA tank with an adjustable type regulator in Canada?

    My local paintball place has 4 or 5 sizes on the shelf. Might be worth a look.

    AFAIK, none of the paintball style tanks have adjustable regulators.... they all need disassembly and spring/shim changes to change the setpoint....

    You are correct Bob. I have an arsenal of PB tanks....mostly carbon fiber 50's and 68's. I am looking for a more local supplier of the 22ci with 2'' diameter. My thoughts are just start with the ninja 13ci and make my stuff fit, then make the plunge later and order the 22ci from down south. If my math is correct the 13ci volume is larger than my current HPA conversion tube. I have decided to set the idea of a new high priced airgun purchase aside and put the same amount of money into another QB78D HPA regulated(tank) custom setup. If this produces a setup like I am thinking it will then turn my attention to the at44 with the same regulated setup using a 22ci tank instead of the unregulated tube. There is no fun in leaving stuff alone!

    You and I both...

    I was going to order one from JDS Airman, but read somewhere that charges $68 for shipping? ...That's over half the cost of the bottle itself!

    I should request a quote to see. They are located in Florida I understand? I thought Eric had 22ci tanks on his list once but not there anymore.

    Am I correct that my configuration of washers(0.032) and shim(0.020) will get me in the 1600 psi range in a ninja regulator.... | ) ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( (....?

    Should be close, depending on shims....

    Does scopes and ammo sell washers and shims? I am trying to get an order together there soon.

    Out of shims- trying to find a decent supplier- the "paintball" businesses who have offered up HPA tanks/parts in the past have only been fiddling in the HPA world and they have proven to be generally unreliable suppliers for these sorts of small parts. Problem is, companies like Fastenal only seem to have one or two of the correct sizes, but only one or two thicknesses. Who the heck out there has a real selection/inventory of Belleville washers?
    I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...
