Spare parts regulator input pressure tester

   This is something I made so I can test the input pressure on guns that don't have a gauge.  Just get the gun running the way you want then test the input pressure. 

Tank(air supply) to 
ASA to
Reg to
coiled remote to
gauge to
gas thru stock to
on/ off ASA (in the off position it holds pressure and allows you to take a reading of the reg input pressure)

When turning off the pressure of the the c02 tank the ASA at the end of the stock also allows for a safe purge of c02.  Just barely open the ASA on the stock then shut it off at the coiled remote.  It creates a slow release.

I drill holes in the center of all of my thread protectors.  All purging, testeing etc. can be performed with the thread protector on the stock.

	creative rig you've got there, heres mine. Sorry for rushed pic's, yes I know the guns in shambles its a project gun I picked up for cheap, but at least my new (free) tank gets to get shown off my setup, dye on/off with a 300psi gauge in one port the setup Its fairly simple to make, and operating pressure is very important when tuning a gun.
	its easy to be famous, just set yourself on fire
