    Bottomline tank regs make my brain hurt.

    This is about Bottle mount tank regs. like maxflo or a flatline or centerflag.

    Wow info on these are super hard to find (especially now). Ive never had any experience with them (wonder why 😂) and from what ive gathered from some people, is either they're not good enough to run as a primary, or they're not worth the trouble to get running. Ive never cared about any of that with any of my other equipment. I just think they would look cool on my cocker. And im more than willing to suffer a bit to get it working. Just i have no clue how. Idk even about mounting them.

    Do these systems have a another name? bad enough each model i look up have normal marker mounted regs with the same names. Lol

        Maxflos are great regs. I used my horizontal HP maxxie on EVERYTHING back in the day.

      I have a few Evil Scion bottomline regulators that I need to get rebuilt. And in my searching, I contacted Ninja, who said that they can rebuild them. I know that the Evil Scion is not one of those you listed, but you may have similar luck reaching out to the manufacturers of regulators today. The worst they can say is no.
      If you need to talk, I will listen. Leave a message and I will call you back as soon as I get it.

        Yep, and the Max Flo is super consistent and easy to work on.

        They are relatively rare. Palmer makes a female stabilizer that would also be up your alley.

          I mentioned this in the adjustable tank reg thread too. The Air America Armageddon. It’s a bit big, but the housing is aluminum, looks nice, accepts standard rails, and the tank is removable from the main body. Yes it’s a proprietary thread from the tank to the main body, but still a nice feature.

            Centerflag Dynaflow is pretty hard to find a manual for, but on the upside it is very easy to service. It is quite intuitive what goes where, and such. It is pretty much built up like any other regulator. The only (slightly) tricky part to figure out is that the on/off-button is screwed together from two bolts, so you need to loosen them at the same time. The Dynaflow will last forever, basically, although it may need new orings every decade or so.

                You'd need to change the spring or just wait for another one to arrive.

                  Can you easily find a Higher output spring?

                    PPS sells a HP conversion kit for like $25, I believe.

                  I think Palmer still sells a spring kit.

                    it would match and look great. Adjustable operating pressure from 200-700psi, and its for 4500. Its not the dynaflow right?

                      It is a Dynaflow that someone has stripped the anno of. At least, I find it very unlikely that Centerflag would release one without the logo, brand name, serial number, and "on" / "off", that is crisp and clear on the black ones.
                      Either way - it's a Dynaflow. It will go higher than 700 PSI, by the way, probably up to 900, if all the internals are still stock.

                        Ive seen silvers. Maybe it had a logo that could come off like some of those CCI phantom trigger frames.
