I think it's a tragedy that paintball jumped from pumps to regulated semi-autos without the general attempt to use regs on 12g markers. If I'm using so few shots that I can use 12gs, I want those shots as consistent as possible. Playing between 50F (primo) and 100F makes using regulators really worthwhile.
I have three reg'ed 12g markers that I can think of (built at least four), and they shoot very nice. Faced with some old scrappy bottles, I converted my first HP ninja reg this time. I pulled all of the shims out, which seems to have left it in the 450 psi range for now. I have a couple of pumps I might use it on, but nothing definite so far. It seems to work fine, even though it has four plugs in it atm.
The booger marks on the adapter are from tapping the hole for the reg. I'll have to work on that process. Just kind of fiddling right now... thinking about a Doc-style adapter to the ICD changer, but that would still leave me at this intermediate length (long, but not stock length).
