Can I use a CP gen 2 inline reg rebuild kit on this Shocktech? reg?

[Chris948]

Looking to build a toy that I could never afford 20 years ago, like many I assume based on ebay prices compared to what I remember. So I got this project gun, 2k4 prostock. Looking forward to replacing all the orings and servicing the entire thing, maybe find a lower pressure valve since it's going to be a pump and I want to have fun. Based on the age I should replace the valve seal anyway (it doesn't look like they are user serviceable, but new stock kind of expensive, so might as well get a Palmers I assume)

From what I could find, I think this is a shocktech reg, and it has what I believe are CP gen 2 internals, but the seal is shaped slightly different than the rebuild kits, without the cutout for the ball bearing that moves with the adjustment screw. It looks like it might work, as all it has to do is move up and down, but wanted to ask. Thanks

Also, any benefits to getting the LP CP rebuild kit? I assume no since I don't really want to target below 250 or 300psi. Thanks again.

Did that seat assembly come out of a CP rebuild kit? I've never seen one like that

No. Those shocktech regs were not made by cp as far as I know.

Thanks, that really helps. Guess I should just lube it up and sell it.

It's still a decent reg just difficult to get parts for.

Also implied, the new ones are cp as well

[Chris948]

Thanks again, that's super helpful. I'm trying to make choices that are as easy as possible to get parts for, so I really appreciate the explanation. I couldn't find what you wrote anywhere. Saved me $15.

No need to change the valve. it will run around 350psi give or take

No, I apologize for not being clearer. This is stock, wanted to compare before I ordered.

Oh okay in that case you can get regulator seats separate from that adjuster piece for the CPS so it might be worth replacing the seat alone and using that assembly back in the regulator

That is incorrect, good sir.

We felt that CP made the best so we hit them up for a private label version. Their internals to go with our outer design. It worked out so well that when it came time to build a new updated version we went right back to one of the best in the biz.

The older ones like the OP pictured were not made buy CP. Only the newest ones take CP internals.

Incorrect my good man....

Gen 2 shocktech regs as pictured weren't made by CP.

[Brokeass_baller]

Really? They look nearly identical.
