Hi, I just got myself an arsenal g7(it rocks btw)
I dont like the regular hose connector because it makes a huge bend on the macroline. can i change it to a 90 degree connector? such that came with the gun?. is this hard to do? or just impossible?


Thanks

It can be changed. It is in pretty tight though. I think they use locktite. I think a hexkey (allen key) in the hole should do the trick.

is there any way to get more space between the ''screw'' itself and the reg? or does the ''hexkey'' fit nice? and can i warm up the reg with a lighter without doing any damage?

i think the hexkey should fit fine....you should also be able to warm up the reg with a lighter....I guess it's possible you could damage some orings...but those are replacable

I hate to say it but I found some nice bendy macro line on PBN some guys was selling a while back. Super flexible so you might want to try that.

You can easily remove the cap from the reg and heat it seperated from the reg. I personally would like a 90 degree fitting on my reg as well but then you can't use a hex key anymore to remove the cap from the reg-body.

Jasså, får du ikke bra nok svar på norske forum? :stooges:

Just look in the manual, it explains how to disassemble the mini-reg and that includes removing the cap.

well you cant use a hexkey, but you should be able to use a regular wrench or what it is in english ;)

i tried to use the hexkey on mine, but it stripped, so i ended up destroying the fitting by putting it in a vice and just screwing the gun off of the fitting :)
