I've been looking all over and can't seem to find anywhere to buy the vertical adapter for a 68 carbine! I was going to buy it from 888paintball.com Went to order it a week later and was told they no long made them. I also placed a order at http://www.fuzionpaintball.com - www.fuzionpaintball.com and i'm guessing they are no longer ( not answering there phones or my emails ) If anyone knows where I can get one please let me know. I already bought a 8-stage expansion chamber and can't put it on Thanks for any help -Cody- ------------- Tippmann Pro/carbine AA 16" Barrel Polished internals Drilled Rear Hammer Firstout's RVA AirTipps SS screws SS Safety V/A and DOP X-chamber 32Degrees 1200psi Mini gauge Dye Stickies -Cody- |

| Check your local proshop. They may not have one, but they may know where to get you one. |

Theyre getting really hard to find nowdays. County used to have them up, but I dont see them anymore. You could try calling Tippmann direct, sometimes they have older parts laying around. They might not have the kit, but they may have just the adapter itself. Its 1/8 NPT threaded so any standard gas lines can be used to plumb it. -------------

Checkout the http://procarbine.flashsplat.com/forum/index.php - PCOG . There is normally a few in the B/S/T section. Tippmann is Closed right now, that is why your call is not going through. Call back in a few hours. -------------

I hate the look of the big brass fittings! I know I can run marco lines from the asa to the expansion chamber, but my question is... can I run macro lines from the vertical adapter to the valve? ------------- Tippmann Pro/carbine AA 16" Barrel Polished internals Drilled Rear Hammer Firstout's RVA AirTipps SS screws SS Safety V/A and DOP X-chamber 32Degrees 1200psi Mini gauge Dye Stickies -Cody- |

Anyone know? And is there a hole to put a gauge on the other side of the vertical adapter? If so what psi range do i need? I run Co2 ------------- Tippmann Pro/carbine AA 16" Barrel Polished internals Drilled Rear Hammer Firstout's RVA AirTipps SS screws SS Safety V/A and DOP X-chamber 32Degrees 1200psi Mini gauge Dye Stickies -Cody- |

You can run Macro if you wanted. On mine, I just used short steel braided line and nickel-plated elbow fittings.
My vertical adapters had the second hole for a gauge. Won't perform any real function with CO2... but should you decide to utilize one, get a 1200-1500psi gauge. |

Thanks for the info. I just wanted to know about the gauge because I like the way they look and I'll be able to tell my when tank is starting to kick when the pressure drops ------------- Tippmann Pro/carbine AA 16" Barrel Polished internals Drilled Rear Hammer Firstout's RVA AirTipps SS screws SS Safety V/A and DOP X-chamber 32Degrees 1200psi Mini gauge Dye Stickies -Cody- |

I've been looking around on ebay and there are a bunch of Vertical Adapters for sale. Just type in " Tippmann Carbine " and look through the listings.

So in the dead of winter... it'll be in the low range. Mid-summer... it'll be in the high range. Anyway... with that in mind... Never get a gauge that is rated towards the top end of the pressure you'll be running. Increases the risk of you blowing the gauge. So even if you're running at 600psi... using a 600psi gauge is not recommended because should you have an unexpected spike... you'll blow the gauge. Not that it matters much for CO2... but for future reference should you go with HPA... gauges are also more accurate at their mid-points. So if you get a gun that runs on lower pressure... if you set your regulator to 300psi output, you're gonna want a 600psi gauge. A 300psi gauge will run the risk of you blowing it with a spike. A 1500psi gauge will be too hard to read. |

Which gauge do you think I should get? The 32 Degrees 1200psi http://www.888paintball.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/1460371/vpcsid/0/SFV/30842 - http://www.888paintball.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/146 0371/vpcsid/0/SFV/30842 or... The Bob Long 1200psi http://www.888paintball.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/1460365/vpcsid/0/SFV/30842 - http://www.888paintball.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/146 0365/vpcsid/0/SFV/30842 I think the 32 Degrees would be easier to read because it uses the whole face where the bob long has the bottom half with a logo ------------- Tippmann Pro/carbine AA 16" Barrel Polished internals Drilled Rear Hammer Firstout's RVA AirTipps SS screws SS Safety V/A and DOP X-chamber 32Degrees 1200psi Mini gauge Dye Stickies -Cody- |

| I have the Bob Long on My Pro/Carbine. The one pictured is the old background (black) whereas the new ones have a white background with a larger swing on the needle. If you can get the newer version they are 100% compareable. |

Do you have a pic of it on your gun Snake6? I would love to see it. I'm also leaning towards 32 unless I like the way the new bob long gauge looks ------------- Tippmann Pro/carbine AA 16" Barrel Polished internals Drilled Rear Hammer Firstout's RVA AirTipps SS screws SS Safety V/A and DOP X-chamber 32Degrees 1200psi Mini gauge Dye Stickies -Cody- |

I gotta trim my fore grip so it fits right with the vertical adapter. How did everyone else cut there. Did you cut a notch? Please post a pic of how you did it. ------------- Tippmann Pro/carbine AA 16" Barrel Polished internals Drilled Rear Hammer Firstout's RVA AirTipps SS screws SS Safety V/A and DOP X-chamber 32Degrees 1200psi Mini gauge Dye Stickies -Cody- |

I did, however my Webhosting has gone down and all the pictures that are on my computer the gauge is unreadable due to Glare. |
