Want to go Low Pressure on a 02 vert cocker

Nate2837 · 05-17-2009, 05:27 AM

My bro-in-law is coming back from overseas and wants to go play paintball when he gets back.

What exactly do I need to put on this sucker? It's been played with once in 6 years. Every 6 months or so I clean and oil her up.

I want to go lp so it doesn't suck so much gas, and I need a new tank, any tank recommendations?

Is it even worth fixing her up? Should I just go buy a new one and be done with it?

For you Chicago people, any recommendations on where to have it serviced?

Everything is in my sig. Thanks!

Unless your marker is optimised from top to bottom for high flow, low pressure use, running low pressures can actually reduce your efficiency rather than increasing it. Doing so could mean changing a decent percentage of your marker and saet up, so it works out expensive.

A better bet may be to find out the optimum operating pressure of your set up as it is currently, and then tuning it accordingly.

There are a couple of articles in the stuck threads regarding sweet spotting or reg tuning, and these will explain how to tune your current set up for better efficiency.

Yeah, sweetspotting your regs does a lot. I can get almost an entire days play on my cocker and it's stock and runs at about 300psi.

As for a shop near Chicago, I must say give the boys at BBT a visit

Ya, just thought I'd ask. After all, that's who built it 6 years ago.
