ccm air fittings or the ones from lukes with the built in sealer?... im building a classic minimag.. i honestly kind of like the ones from lukes for $7 each. The ccms are only a few bucks more... is there any reason not to go CCM?

I like the Azodin fittings but they aren't cheap.
That's what I have on my Evo.

personal preference, go with what you want.
I like CCM fittings and have them on several guns. I personally never had a problem with leaking but I know others have.
If you do go with CCM fitting what I do is use a sharp razor blade and cut the line off as square as possible. I don't sand the end or do anything else other than put them in the fitting with a little oil on the end the first time I install them.

I just ordered a couple of Azodin ones, and they're getting shipped from Taiwan. For free. Fancy that.
I paid shipping for the last ones I bought.
Almost makes me want to buy some more.....
And they got here today.
Then numbskull me decides to throw them on. In my excitement, I overtightened the one on my AGD ASA... and sheared off the threads from the rest of the nubbin. Now I have no idea how to get these threads out of the ASA without damaging it.
It's not the bolt that snapped. It's the threaded gas hole (male part) with a little neck on it that you use the wrench on. Then the machine screw threads into it to hold the colored 90° part onto it.
Did some progressively increased bits on a drill to get the male bits out, but now I'm not sure if my threads are intact on the ASA.
Edit: and it's fixed. The threads on the ASA are still intact enough to get a solid seal. I was just really timid tightening it down too much.

Can you post a picture of the individual parts?
Did it break here?
I'm curious to see the broke piece.
i got the ones from luke in today.. i was sold on the built in sealer.. they feel high quality
Yeah, it broke right there. Sheared under the o-ring. I'll try to take a picture in a day or two. The wall under the o-ring is pretty thin.
Go down to the autoparts store, whether AutoZone, Advanced Auto, O'Reilly, whatever. Take that piece with you for a visual & for the size you may need. Ask for an EZ-out. If you are lucky, you could borrow one, unlucky you have to by them. Get a bottle of PB-Blaster, for some lube.
If you are lucky, it should come right out, if not. You may get pieces and chips coming out. I would advise getting a tap for the ASA threads to chase them if they are damaged.
