The stock arrangement of my Fortitude is Valve-Regulator-Gauge Block
The valve is pinned, the regulator floats and the gauge block floats but with the gauge screwed in.
My regulator is an older one with the adjustment screw not locked, so it is adjustable.
Question: Could I move the regulator to outside the guage block so arrangement is Pinned Valve, open space, Gauge block and then regulator.
The guage would only show the regulated pressure, but the regulator adjustment screw would be accessible from the fill end without removing.
Thanks for your help and comments.
EDIT: oops forgot about the regulator vent hole - will not work as I was thinking.

FYI posted this response on your past post
If you ever decide to indever into the regulator again, might consider a Lane or Huma, regulator
in which they incorporate the gauge block and regulator into one section.
Adjustments to bar is merely unscrewing the end fill cap, then using a notched dowel to increase or decrease your bar plenum pressure
Just a thought not having to tear everything apart for a bar adjustment
Have a couple air rifles setup that way
Enjoy your successful achievement

I have looked at Lane - good to know about it being a one piece regulator-gauge block.
I wondered when looking at the picture of the Maximus-Fortitude model

Something to keep in mind I believe they still have "two styles"
#1 has the gauge port
#2 eliminates the gauge port (giving less chance for air leaks) downside not knowing plenum pressure
Hope this helps
