I ordered one of the spanners that Travis linked. I will wrap it with cloth sports tape, except for the hook itself, and see if that will minimize marks to the adjustment ring.

Ah-ha! Thanks Travis! Ordered! I need to get to finishing this 6mm!!

scion19801 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 06, 2020, 05:56:32 PM »

for those that have this setup. look at your pressure gauges. Are they both 6k gauges? I personally think the output should be a 3k one in my cas as the reg adjusts from 1400-2400. it don't make sense to have a 6k and then be guessing on output as the gauge resolution isn't fine enough. or am i just way over thinking this?
Anyone know what size and thread to try to locate a finer resolution 3k gauge to put in?

1/8-27 NPT threading

YEMX · « **Reply #24 on:** May 06, 2020, 07:25:29 PM »

Yep, they're both 6k. Thanks for pointing that out- I'm going to swap one out that has a more appropriate pressure range.

Although- Maybe I won't be... The spacing looks a little tight. I'll try it, see what happens.

You can do the LP with a 1 1/2" but the Hp side needs stay 1" or less.

Hey, I can finally use that glow in the dark 3k gauge I bought from Travis long ago off eBay. It looks a bit like that one you have in the picture Scott.

My adjustable reg I got from JSAR came with the wrench but it was well before CV19 also but I just ordered one of the spanners Travis linked to also since the one that came with the reg is not really long enough and does not fits good enough to easily adjust under pressure.

Thats the one ... GREAT gauges that are very accurate !

I found a 1.5" gauge that's 1/8 NPT that reads up to 3k with a wide sweep. For whatever reason, ebay had a huge selection of liquid filled gauges, but the one's I bought were the only dry gauges I could find... Maybe I'm using the wrong key words or something

$:-\$

Spanner should be here tomorrow, gauge should be here early next week... Of COURSE I'm missing a few small parts- I've already ordered them from Crosman... So those should also be here sometime next week. THEN I can finally assemble my 6mm!!

That spanner that Travis linked is AWESOME! If you have this reg, and you don't have a wrench, get the spanner linked above... Got mine today and it fits extremely well in the grooves of the adjustment ring.

Buldawg76 · « **Reply #32 on:** May 08, 2020, 01:54:39 AM »

I ordered one of the spanner Travis linked to and got a tracking info tonight and it shows delivery of mid June to early July and its supposed to be coming from California to Alabama I guess on a very slow truck or boat.

I think amazon is doing that for almost all orders- you should get it much sooner than that. Not as fast as pre-Covid of course... But sooner than 2 months!

I like those too! I just wanted a wider sweep for a little more accuracy, and the one I went with is easier to see:

That's good to know Tom, although I have my Brod tuned to my liking so not really in need of the spanner right away either. Mine did come with the JSAR spanner but the double ended one they send is hard to use without gloves or a cloth to protect your fingers/hand from cuts or nicks.

Got a link to the gauge you got for your reg. I like it.

I recently received a Ninja Flex12-20M adjustable regulator. Ordered from Hajimoto. It did not come with a wrench. Hajimoto said it was an oversight and is sending a wrench out.

Rather than wait:

http://www.scotthull.us/photos/Armada/Ninja-flex-00.gcode

I designed it with four prongs so a little tricky to slide in place. It is printed from PLA so it won't mar the finish on the regulator.

The bigger problem is that it they no longer come with the pin valve. See bottom picture. Ninja says that the pin valve was causing problems in >1200psi regulators so those regulators no longer come with them. I don't really get it as I've been using a Ninja 3000psi output fill station for years with no problem. My Armada bottle gun has a shutoff valve so that bottle can be easily removed/swapped without needing to drain the bottle. So I won't be installing the reg until I correct that problem. I called Ninja and they said to send them a SASE and they will send me pin valve that I can install. Oh well, another week delay in my Armada bottle gun project.

While we mentioned the subject of gauges, does anyone know (link) to a small 3000 psi gauge, with straight metric threads, like would fit into the bleed hole of a FX Wildcat

Got my amazon spanner yesterday.
