Unscrewing gas tank.

EDIT: And so an oops is just basically a posh asa then? Correct?

yeah, a OOps (on/off purge system) will allow you to remove the tank with no trapped air in the line/asa. Its probably the first thing you should get for your Ion.

You'll be needing a direct mount OOPS or a OOPS with rail, as the Ion frame doesn't have a dovetail.

Yeah i've done that. I hovered up all the swarf and everything too. Thanks though. The grubs are as tight as possible, but it won't come off at all. Not moving one bit.

oh and last thing as lump said to me when i had this problem only fill upto 2k
just to check its all good, then go up to 3k.

 

[Rellizate]

Ahh right ok.

2k? Sure will do. Know why this is?

 

[Ali]

just to be on the safe side after what happend recently, plus thats what LUMP said to me.

 

[Rellizate]

Ahh ok. Is your tank all working and everything now right? Have you had the problem again?

Could be that when you put the bottle on you cross threaded the threads. So nothing to do with pressure in the bottle. Did you have problems getting the bottle on to the gun ? Easy way to do in the future to make sure this does not happen is turn marker so barrel is facing to the floor. The part you screw the bottle into facing up, sit the botte on here and gentley turn it. It should thread with the weight of the bottle only and your hand keeping the bottle still. If not clean the thread and remove all dirt from it. Do not put any cleaners on it and make sure the dirt is blown out before re trying.

Does not resolve getting bottle off but helps for future.

Mmm I guess it could have been, but I took care not to cross the threads, and it didn't feel crossed when I was screwing it in.

nop its all good since the problem.

 

[Rellizate]

nop its all good since the problem.

Hmm ok cool. Do you just not stick it in so tight or?

Not even gonna bother to reply with a sensible answer, the guy asked for help going blindly into HPA (or so it aseems) a novice with HPA = a dasaster so i personally would never give any advice other then to ask somone else to do it who is compitand with HPA in this circumstance, skeet i just hope he doesnt screw the reg off and blow himself or his marker threw the wall and then say well the guys on 'the internet' said i shud do it, its as simple as that.

Maybe i am to saftey concious but i would hate to be the major factor in a accedent!!!

Well..I wasn't trying to really pi$$ you off, but I was a little out of sorts after reading it.

Also, if you actually read the thread, he has NEVER gassed it up, so there is nothing in there.

Probably part of the reason the reg unscrewed.

Tom is right, people who are after your money are not necessarily interested in giving concise advice.

We have no agenda here and plenty of time and inclination, to ensure that things go well.

Normally, if things appear to be too complicated for someone, then they will be told to take it somewhere, or Tom will suggest they send it to him and he will do it.

Everyone was a novice with HPA at one point, even the guy who runs H-PAC.
