Eclipse BM2k help

[-Tris-]

OK, Ive just recived my lovely BM2k

I know what needs to be done to it to get it running, so does anyone know;

What drop forward will fit it?
What air does it take? (High or Low pressure)

And is there anything else I should know?

Cheers

dont use a drop forward, and air wise.... i cant remember now,was talking to a guy at training about it ,

i think you need a adjustable system, because its not quite HP or LP, somewhere in between.

Well, atm there is nowhere for air to be connected to the marker. So I assumed that it needed a drop forward or something.

it will fit any drop forward. use an eclipse oops or similar product.

HP - Never failed on my old bushy. Im fairly sure it would be fine on a low pressure as well.

Same with every other gat - make sure its lubed correctly and dont mess with it if its working.

i thought he ment a drop forward, and not a OOP's. there's loads of different OOPs out there, go with what you like the look of.

with the air, as i said, i was 100% sure which.

My old one ran at about 300psi on the stock reg, it would be better to run a 450psi pre-set on it as those (old style ICD regs) dont work particularly well at HP.

A good place to get info about he b2K is http://www.icd-owners.com/html/

Im confused, I'm a CO2 dude

The regs I see are like 3000 psi, so where would I go for a 300 psi reg?

3000psi or 4500psi is the pressure the bottle holds itself.
A higher bottle pressure means you can force more air into the same space, giving you a longer fill.
The output pressure is entirely different.
HP - High pressure, is usually 850psi outputted to the gun
LP - Low pressure, is usually 450psi outputted to the gun
Or you can get adjustables which output from 0-1200psi

Looks like Stark is suggesting you use a LP regulator.

But I suggest you get a adjustable, as in the future you might buy something else that requires high pressure, instead of having to buy a new reg or reg/bottle, you just turn a dial.

Yep, I assumed your were running on air not CO2, the tank/bottle reg will be rated at 3000 or 45000 Psi outputting to either 450/850 psi (assuming its a preset) the reg on your marker then takes that air and regulates it down to ~300psi. Which you can change by loosening/tightening the knob on the bottom of inline reg on the marker.

If your running CO2 then there is no reg on the tank just an on/off valve so its output pressure will drop as the CO2 is used up. Usually it outputs at 900 psi after a fill. Trouble with CO2 is if you let liquid CO2 in your marker it will do bad things. I'd recommend getting an anti-siphon valve which will stop liquid CO2 getting in your marker.
