this is wierd and makin me VERY frustrated

[gffbrl21]

ok well the person i got my bushmaster from told me that the reg on it is an "icd minireg" i said i had never heard of it but he said its good. as i look at it and pictures of icd stock regs(the ones that came stock on the x milled bushies) i realize that it is the same thing except the bottom half is gone and theres a twist thing on the bottom for adjusting pressure.
now heres the reallly weird thing. when i unscrew the reg the most of the reg comes off but there is a rod that stays on the v/a that has threads that the main part of the reg screws into. sorry if that was hard to understand.
now my question is this: how do i get the reg off of the v/a because i really hate this reg and i want to replace it but idk if i can even replace it with out gettin a new v/a. ooo btw i have a gen 4 teardrop milled bushie if it helps.
please hate me because i really resent this reg. thanx. oo yea and you can im me if u want at cobain455

Hmmm, could you try and explain that a little bit clearer, like name parts with a proper name. :)

[bluesboyk3]

Gomster, i think he means the VA and the stock reg that comes with it.

Yeah IMO aftermarket reg is better since u got a pretty old reg there. And yes u are correct, u need to get an aftermarket vert adapter. Tantrum paintball has em. Or Doro paintball if u like Kapp adapter - this site has the review and i currently use one.

well i guess im gonna keep the reg now because i dont wanna have to order parts that i am not going to know how to install and my local store wont install for me. oh well.

[gomster]

Heh, the ASA block and new regulator will be a snap to install, just unscrew the regulator and takes out the screws in the ASA block and whamo, you're done.

[ImpYa]

Yeah, installing an ASA is very simple. All you have to do is screw it in.

You will need this...

I recommend the CP Reg, Fatty Stabilizer, 04 Gladiator, or the Sidewinder.

ok but i'll prolly just order the v/a and buy the reg at my local store. im doin a job for my dad this week and i was planning on buying a new tank with the money but i think i'll just get my reg setup in order because i dont care too much about the tank.
but there is definitly no way i can do this without getting a new VA? thanx for the help btw.

Does your reg look like this?

[gffbrl21]

sorta the bottom is different. it has the eclipse adjuster thing. and the top is a lil different. ill get pics when i get my gun back

[Born_to_Race]

Ok, that's what I thought. The top part that didn't come off should just twist off. This pic could help (don't pay attention to the black circle):

[gffbrl21]

yes that is what it looks like when i take it apart. im prolly orderin the zenitram 15* asa tomorrow night. will that fit?
thanx for all the help guys btw.

yep a 15* b2k asa will work just fine for the marker. The older regs can be a bit of a pain to get off. The easiest way i found to get the piston off the body of the marker is rettach the outter housing of the reg, take off the tray and trigger frame and use a strap wrench. By putting the outter housing of the reg back on it gives you a bit more to grab onto, just make sure you have the piston section as well and then it should come off pretty easily.

[gffbrl21]

yea i am going to pick up a strap wrench.

[yoda101]

pick up a small strap wrench anything else may be too big. I like the craftman 3 packs, they are cheap and give u a size needed for any job
