Well, it's that time again. Time to replace another stock Kingman part. That little hose that connects the stock reg to the mini-exp chamber on my Shutter is apparently resricting airflow. That and I've considered steel braided as a more...permanent hose. So, what do you reccomend? Micor? Macro? Or steel braided? If someone out there has a Shutter that they put steel braided on (as this is going to be my first choice unless I get recomended otherwise), o you know how long it needs to be? The Shutter is electronic and runs off of N2. I'm getting a Vigilante reg.......so that's pretty much the air system. I'm trying to go semi-LP (maybe all the way if it'll reduce the sligt kick my gun has).

Micro is a lower flowing(thinner, like its name) air line. Macro(like its name) is big. Stainless Steal is big I believe. Plus its more durable and somewhat easy to bend. It also doesnt kink like the others sometime can.

Macro or steel are good. Macro will be easier to work with and you don't need an exact length, but steel will last longer. I always use steel for the durability, and have some macro in my tool kit for emergencies only. (those emergencies that I can't get steel to work)
