I often say, "In my own experience, the secret to happiness is learning to sort the occasional good idea from an endless body of bad ones", well, this looks like a damn good idea. This is a BB magazine block tapped with an ASA female directly, no adaptor for a paintball tank!
ASA Tapped Inlet Block (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Internal-Adapter-for-MP-661K-Baikal-Drozd-Blackbird/292464046068?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D47300%26meid%3D059f49f4eab841449b5686252b82cfca%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D282842954025%26itm%3D292464046068&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850)

But the set screw hole is completely pointless for this.

Just what the doctor ordered. I took these pics today because the rest of my parts came in to do this. The first one is a 68/4500. The stock is locked in it's forward most position. The second pic is a 90/4500. The stock is locked in it's rear most position. I have the adapter in this one. It wouldn't work without the adapter, or low profile high output Ninja reg. BTW. I am a Ninja retailer now. This setup would look a lot better on a black Drozd.

No shit, that setup would make very good use of an asa inlet block!

It does. You can see an ASA in the background of the first pic. It's about 1/4" longer than using a custom Foster adapter. Hands down best HPA adapter on the market. At first they were shit. The ones available now are spot on. I offer them in my builds.

The same thing is going on with the titanium valves. I really hope they get that one right. Of course I'd be more than happy to share my data with any American here to build the same thing better.
Ya'll threw up, and went home. I'm still at the party.

DUBB. A while back you know who we used to use for air started doing my customers wrong for air bottles, and regs. So now I am a Ninja dealer. When I ordered some 1600psi regs I found out they are making them with a recessed valve these days so they are not compatible with paintball. Here is my solution for direct connect junkies with the Internal valve, and pressure above 1400psi. It is a 2mm thick brass rod that has been secured with permanent Loctite into a hole drilled in the center of the adapter. The one on my rig is threaded so I can remove it. This one is not. It also works with an ASA adapter without flow restriction. I will refine this for a standard threaded pin later.
I mentioned 1400psi because Ninja will build the V2 up to 1400psi for us. This will allow us to have a high quality reg we can swivel into the desired position for direct connect that are paintball compatible. I have some ordered that will be here tomorrow. Above 1400psi in Ninja products we will need to move up to the Ninja X Pressure reg that does not swivel. I did a test the other day to find a gain of only 10fps from 1400psi to 1600psi.
