sp-1

[geronimo]

hey , i was thinking about getting the sp-1, as my primery back, and cqc marker. i know the marker can be ran off of c02, and on the intro vid , he speaks about the need for a dip tube, my question is , is there any reason you can not run a remote line on this marker. peace

None. Zero, Zip, Zippo - Nadda remotes are perfectly fine.

Dip tube I can't beleave that they called it that...it's a anti syphon tube to keep liquid out of the valve.
Yes you can use a remote, I also recomend an expantion chamber as well as it helps vaporize the liquid Co2. Even a remote can allow liqid Co2 to get to the valve which will dammage it.
I like the SP-1. Recient review's on this web sight read the thread "Can your marker swim"....Don't go on my openion alone, research, research, research....

had a chance to shoot one a few weeks ago, love it, it was so smooth, trigger was very responsive, been day dreaming every since, i've already built this marker a thousand dif ways
and i don't even have one yet, but i'm sure ya'll have been there. peace

If you have enought dough that your backup gun is a SP1 then why are you still using CO2?

[SirRod]

iRob a SP-1 cost around $150.00. It's a much cheeper marker than all the rest of the SP markers. Cheeper infact than a new HPA tank.

bearclaw is the nearest place i can get a hpa fill, i live about 40 miles away. i fill my own co2 tanks ,i give $15 for 50 lbs .gas is $3.15 a gallon. contrary to popular belief hpa is not a given, i have checked into buying a hpa compressor ( yea right). the start up cost is staggering, at a $1 per thousand. and we wonder why fields have to charge $65 a case for $35 paint. peace

[SirRod]

Thats a darn good reason geronimo.

if your getting a 50lb co2 local, you can get n2 as well. fill station is different however.

Geronimo thats cheep for Co2 when I bought in bulk from Crumptions welding in Tampa. I paid $10.00 for 15 pounds...

You might be better off when you get a HPA tank if you get a couple of SCUBA tanks and have them filled at a dive shop if you have any in your area. Problem with SCUBA tanks most are only 3000psi, there are some that go higher, but there hard to find.
Just a thought.
