I put the bottle on to test the gun, and tried to remove it and it's almost welded on, I'm 99% sure it's not cross threaded. I tried to remove it with such force the bottle came unscrewed from the reg blowing out 3000psi if any one has heard of this or has any advice to help it would be appreciated
Thanks

first up, did the reg come on the bottle or have you installed it? sounds like someones just hand tightened it on.

did you turn the asa off, the little lever on the bottom? firing it whilst untwisting usually helps also, but shouldnt be a problem now youve got the "bottle" off lol

Do you mean that the regulator is still stuck threaded to the markers asa?
Double check to make sure the gun can no longer dry fire and that there is no air remaining between the regulator and asa

It either is cross threaded or there is something in the threads sticking.
It may need brute force to unscrew, use something like a strap wrench to get grip and leverage, (baby boa etc)

Before refitting the regulator to the cylinder check all the threads for any damage and that they are clean
Preferably have the regulator and cylinder looked over by someone experienced and refitted properly to the correct torque
Loctite will secure the fit but is not essential provided it is tightened to the correct torque

sounds dangerous? i had a similar problem but i left it for a while, even removing the bottle from the reg and eventually, it came loose. i think metal expands under pressure so maybe leaving it a bit is the answer.
