    How to bleed the line on an adjustable tank reg?

    Hey, I'm thinking of hooking up the AA Armageddon reg I have to one of my mags, but I'm just wondering how do people with these kinds of regs, that don't have a built in bleed valve, fully depressurize their mag?

    Use a proconnect somewhere in the system.

    Dang, I was hoping there was a better solution than those by now. I used to run a Pro Connect on my old MaxFlo reg'd Minimag. It leaked regularly and it was expensive.

    I use a pro connect on my bench set up. I probably use it more than anyone else currently using one. I haven’t not had a single issue with one.

    Here's my solution: https://www.swagelok.com/en/catalog/...?part=SS-4P-2M

    I mounted this on one of the available ports on my RT. You could also mount it anywhere a gauge might go. It's designed for high pressure, so it doesn't leak. Works wonders. Much smaller footprint and more reliable than a QD.

    That's awesome, thats the kind of thing I was hoping to find! Might need to ask them about specific pressure specs for it, but that would solve my problem.

    I think 4000psi working pressure is sufficient.

    I love my geddon, and will one day get enough money to get it serviced & a new bottle put on it.

    The best way that i dealt with it is: turn down flow, shoot the gun dry, unhook.

    You can also unscrew the bottle and shoot out the reg, since you are removing the air, so there won't be anything left
