  Along with the regulator, you will also need a vertical adpater (if you're planning on mounting it where the fore-grip is), and also a new length line and fittings. I'd suggest that you use Macro Line (not Micro, that's smaller stuff, usually used a cocker 3-Ways I believe), because you can cut it to length, and it's easy to install/uninstall.

  And what reg are you planning on getting? If you run CO2, only a selct few regs can run on it. I'd suggest the Palmers Stabalizer. Not only can it work with CO2, but it also has a high enough output pressure for your CP to run right. I'd get the Male version so you can use the Vertical Adapter and hook it up where the fore-grip is. You can find one on http://www.countysports.com - www.countysports.com .

You can use braided steel lines as well. I prefer to run braided steel lines just because they are much more rugged and less likely to break. Like Sizuki said, don't run micro line.

Palmers are real nice and very reliable. I would reccomend one. Get some macro line and fittings and your set. Remember to use teflon tape to seal it up.

ive had only bad experiences with my macro line. and i would guess you will probably run into similar problems, being that if you mount your reg on the foregrip, you will have high pressure CO2 running to it. if you use marcro line with high pressure CO2, i'm betting you will run into some trouble.
now, if you were to use it in some application where the macro line would transfer CA after regulation, it would be very probable, like in Smart Parts' Max Flow setup. However, if running high pressure CO2 to a reg i would not recommend macro line, stick with steel braided.

Macro line is only good for being able to disconnect the hose quickly and being able to swap colors easily (woopdeedoo). Other than that, SS hose will always be more reliable. Just buy a quick disconnect so the only thing you lose to macro is the color swapping. Big freaking deal.
