They are the 2K4 BKO's with the new style HPR, the Extreme BKO won't be out till March.

EDIT: If you pick the option that says: ICD BKO then that is the plain milled 2k4 BKO. If you pick the one that says: Coming in March the 2004 Xtreme BKO then that is the Extreme BKO.

I was steered away from the Extreme Bko, because of the HPR. People said that it was the old style one, and was plagued with problems. Is that true?

The old style regs are not the best ...not even good. The only reason to get a X-BKO would be for its milling. Otherwise..the choice of champions would be the unmilled 2004 BKO's. Better HPreg and decent LPR ( even better with a $15 shocktech plunger).

The lpr of theX's and Unmilled are the same.

I'm glad i got the unmilled one now, because eventually im sending in my bko to www.docsmachine.com and get him to do some custom millilng for me.

if I was given the choice I would take the milled bko, come on guys think about it. the stock 03 HPR's weren't THAT bad. and most people just replace the stock HPR anyway, so i would take the milling.

the stock 03 HPR will work more than good enough untill you buy a new reg.

Honestly...i would take the milled one also. I mean like lucky said..HPR went out the door right away. With CP being a great reg and have all sorts of colors...it would go great with a X-BKO.

ICD is now shipping ONLY XTreme BKOs.

If you order from just about anywhere, your getting a milled 04 (like me :D )

All that is left of unmilled BKOs is whatever is in stock.

ShootPaint told me this right after he talked to ICD.

ShootPaint told me this right after he talked to ICD. I think the Unmilled BKO's are better then the 2K4 Extreme BKO's (looks and performance). It's a shame ICD isn't going to make the 2K4 Unmilled BKO's anymore... Oh well :|.

BigC is correct. ICD no longer has the streamline milled bodies. They are only shipping the Extreme Milled version now.
These are suppose to be in any day and should ship shortly to dealers.

By the way. The 03 reg was actually a very good reg. The major down side to it was the overload protection wasnt that great. When tanks would overpressurize it would basically waste the regs main spring. ICD has changed the spring out in hopes of limiting the damage to the reg, caused by overpressurized bottles.

If it was me I personally would take the 03 reg over the 04 simply due to the location of the gas inlet on the reg. I hate the air line being on the side of the reg. This is simply personal opinion take it as you will.

I would need to know your Zip before I could get you a firm price. My guesstimation would be around $25 for shipping then any additional import taxes you may have.
We do not cover any of these charges.

Yeah, having the air inlet hole on the side does suck and I guess your going to upgrade anyway so who cares? I still don't like the new milling though.
