Gents, I have started to build the brand new take-off PROD parts I got fom UUChris for so cheap ..I will not be using the gauge as I have plugged the hole and reversed the orientation (turned it so that it points upward the breech).Like a regulator, it is not secured by a screw or anything (just the 2 O-rings to make it tight), so will it not budge?I am aware that once filled with air, the pressure will somehow push it against the valve or spacer, again, like a regulator.Am I correct to assume this is the case then?The plumber's gauge plug is much cheaper than a Magnum Airpower threaded gauge bypass, you know ..Thank you!
Thank you, gents, for your inputs ..UUChris did give me that spacer you mentioned about amongst other crucial parts so I am golden ..I stripped the finish of the tube as I plan to have it powdercoated tomorrow.It is starting to look as I want it to ..Mine will be without a shroud as I like the look of a plain barrel with an LDC attached to it.

Here is mine with same shroud...sister PRod’s!Yep I just got done shooting it for awhile, The weather is so nice today. Its sunny with no wind at all and warming up real nice, supposed to be high 60s to low 70s today here. Sure does not feel like Christmas time right now and will be 68 to 70 tomorrow. I had to rezero with the new shroud but had expected that might happen but its still one hole accuracy if I do my part. Is a bit quieter than the old setup with screw on LDC. I did go against the suggested baffle orientation that had created so much confusion in this thread. My stack up is in this order starting at the barrel and moving toward the shroud exit. Long spacer, white baffle with small hole against spacer X 4, black diffuser with small hole toward shroud exit, 2 ninja regulator Belleville washer with concave side against the diffuser, shroud end cap. The Belleville washers are used to add just a touch of preload to the baffle stack to prevent any movement during shot pressure pulse. Seems to work very well for my 1720TBD

Here is mine with same shroud...sister PRod’s!Looks great Randall!! You did your research and selected the right aftermarket parts to make the Prod look the way it should IMO. I 'll probably get mine to that level eventually but have to space out the mods over time or I 'll be in the dog house Right now I am breaking it in, shooting some pests (with great success) and having fun with it.
