Well, I decided to buy myself a TES and at the same time I saw the the Category 5 Drop along with Shocktech Spyder Metric to 1/8in NPT Adapter. I bought this all thinking that it would all fit together nice. Then once the Gun came and the Adapter came, i realized that i would have to buy a new regulator or use an all stock set up. I would have used the stcok set up but my Air tank would not fit on the stock ASA cause it would hit the dove tail :( . And buying a new regulator was to much money, after all i needed some cash to spend on paint and field fees, so i figured there has to be a fitting that would convert the stock hose to a 90* steel hose adapter. I looked all over the web and couldent find it then i want to a specality store and found it. This is what it looks like.

The stock hose is wraped it black tape.
And used the end that went into the tank to go into the regulator.

This was the fitting i found and drilled the hole alot bigger, couldent fit a pin though it, i ended up messing a few bits up, dull.
Thats that.
THE END.

Good work finding an adaptor. Can you tell us the specifics? Obviously, it has a male 1/8" NPT end on it, but what is the spec on the female end? This way, we can know what to ask for/order when someone else needs one.

Usually, adaptors are speced like:

1/4" female to 1/8" Male NPT or something.
