i think youre okay as long as the tank doesnt output more than 800 psi - you probably wont be able to use any volumizers though. If you find yourself shooting hot, you can decrease your dwell to try to compensate. I think theres also a way to rearrange the minireg spring stack to compensate for LP output. Otherwise you'll have to get an LP tank or an aftermarket reg.

you just spent over a thousand dollars on a very nice gun , why chance it with tank that might screw your whole setup. Get an ajustable tank and don't worry about it.

If you've had the tank for a while you should just buy a new one that is lp. Crossfires are cheap and really nice thats what I own. Just make sure it's lp.

Where did you buy it C]-[iLDe? I haven't seen them for less than $180, and that's direct from Crossfire.

I was thinking about getting one from there, but I wasn't sure if I was going to get the newer style tanks.

If it helps any I got mine on Thursday, so it was a really recent purchase. Nowhere on the tank does it say Crossfire. Only on the reg. The tank I have has a manufacture date of 06/03. It is made by SCI Composites. I'm pretty sure this is the newer tank since the older ones had the Crossfire logo on them. If it helps I can take a picture of my tank.

That'd really help if you could.

edit: I'm not really positive which is the newer tank though, I've seen both. I think it's the light grey one, not the black. :dunno:

edit ...again: I found this information on PbNation.

The newer tanks are the light grey/white ones.

Here is a pic of the tank I just got. It's light grey/white but has no Crossfire logo on the tank. Just the reg. So is this the new one or the old one? Looks like we have conflicting reports above.
