i was thinking of strapping on a gauge on the back of my gun where that fitting is for it so i can check the pressure there because i want to make sure beyond the shadow of a doubt im not putting too much pressure in the gun and because i dont like having to twist my gun back and forth. anyway the question is what gauge will fit on there im looking at the micro gauges and dont know if any of them are small enough to not get in the way of hammer assembly and i dont want to use a huge gauge or have it hanging far out of the body.

another question how do you get a twisted sister song unstuck from your head without getting an iron maiden one stuck in right after:D

if you put a gauge in the back, it will show you the lpr pressure, not the maxflo (valve pressure). If you didnt have an lpr, It would be different. this is still a good thing though, youll still have to turn your gun to see the maxflo pressure, but now you can see what your lpr is set at, something that most people cant do.

i got one on the back of my gun, its ugly but adds charactor, i have never seen anyone else do it, so uh DONT DO IT!!! :yell: makes my gun SPEDshile- anyways, micro gauges wont fit, the hammer assembly gets in the way.....

i use a large ashcroft gauge, i assume any large (a bit larger then a quarter) sized one will work... and yes, its great with an lpr....

arg this place is being a pain in the butt to navigate now it took me 10 minutes to get to this.
yeah i want the gauge to make sure i dont do something stupid like over pressurize the solinoid or anything like i managed to do last time which was what was screwing up my gun

now to the 2nd problem about twisted sister and iron maiden :) (seriously i got mega death songs led zepplin and a bunch of others stuck in my head)

would this gauge be fine i want it as small as possible so its not pug fugley :) http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/039-4570.html

i dont think its "big" enough, its prolly not long enough to sqrew into the gun, because of the hammer :eyes:
