I converted my AICS to HPA the other day. The only mod required was to drill out the mags fill valve and retap it to fit the new quick disconnect fitting for the remote line. I used a standard paintball 45ci 3000 psi air tank, CP (brand name) adjustable regulator and a coiled remote line that I had kicking around from my old paintballing (yuck) days. Performance at 175 psi was quite remarkable. I was able to shoot 580fps with .3g BBs. Ofcourse I didnt use it on game day and with the adjustable regulator, I can bring down the FPS to legal limits. Consistancy was not really what I expected but I think that has to do with a number of issues that will be fixed once the upgrades come in and I fix the slop in the mag. I purchased the new run of AICS' that are not restricted but do not have the PCS. Not having the PCS is now not an issue. I am picking up a smaller 22ci 3000 psi tank, new inline regulator that screws onto the top of the tank regulator and a steel braided remote line. This setup should create a nice compact and lightweight system that shouldnt get in the way too much. When I get everything in I will post full details of the finished rifle.
