i just bought a cp reg for my tes but the reg has different threads that the old one did. it screws into the gun ok but the bottom line doesnt fit. its the right size bottom line that i need. how good is the macroline. what is the differance between the macroline and the mircoline. i wasnt durability and strength for thoses dives behinde a bunker. what size adaptor should i get for this to work. anyone who went though this plze help. right now im runnin co2 but hope to move up to hp.

I think u just need a metric to standard adapter to fit the bottomline u already have. I don't really know the differences for macroline and microline but the stainless steel braided hose is pretty strong so i say stick with that

There is no adapter to use the stock SS hose in a new reg, and as far as I know, the threading on the stock drop forward is not a metric or SAE, its an odd foreign threading...So there are no adapters available for it...A few of us at PBN are just drilling out the threads in the stock drop forward, and retapping it to use 1/8 threading...Then any aftermarket SS hose, or macro line fitting will work on it just fine...

Microline is tiny, kinda like autococker hose, and its made for lower pressure operations. Macroline is thicker, and its what you need. It will work fine with co2 long as its a good quality name brand hose, like 32* makes some really nice stuff. They are very durable and hold up pretty well, very easy to work on also.

is there any other way to make this work than to drill out the drop and retap it or is that it? its only the bottom line goin into the reg that doesnt fit.

buy new drop.....

No, there is no other way...Just as I said, Dragun used a strange foreign threading so that nothing is compatable with it exept the stock SS hose, which will not work with a new regulator. Just buy a nice shocktech drop or something with a good on/off ASA and it'll be tons better then the stock anyway..

there is an adaptor out so u can keep the stock reg and get a new asa and drop

HERE

Yeah that works for keeping the stock reg when you want a new drop, but it won't work the other way around, no way to keep the stock drop and add a new reg, unless you drill and tap your stock dropforward. Do you have a local machine shop in town? If so just drop it by them, tell 'em to drill and tap the threads to 1/8" NPT and it shouldn't be more then $5.
