Air tank fail

[MainManHere]

Alright lads/ ladies

Yeah my bottle got stuck on my gun, don`t think it even crossthreaded, it litrally just got stuck on there bad, and in the process of removing the bottle from the gun the entire reg began to unscrew from the bottle.

I`ve screwed it back on very well, but does it need to be sealed with anything ?

Cheers

was it the reg unscrewing from the bottle or the bonet (bit at the top of the reg with the threads on)

also what gun (asa) is it stuck on?

a close up pic might also help if there is still a small gap

There doesnt appear to be a gap, the entire black part started unscrewing from the white bottle lol

Is the bottle pressurized?

I had something very similar (Bottle wouldn't unscrew) turned out the bottle o-ring had come off and jammed into the asa thread which in turn jammed the bottle in.

First thing to do is to dry fire off the remaining air in the tank. ENSURE it is fully empty. Then try and remove the bottle from the gun. Once you have done this you will find it easier to check things over

Once you do get the bottle empty and off the gun, tighten the reg up to the correct torque.

There should be a torque rating on the bottle.

Basically, tank looks normal like in picture now, I just need to make sure it has enough torque.

How would I go about measuring tourque?

Do I need a special device?

If so i`ll take to my next event and let traders help lol =D
