..just a quick note. If you can find (ebay, swap shop, etc.) one of the old 7oz. CO2 tanks, buy it. Same length as a modern 9oz. tank, but 1/8" smaller in diameter. Really cures the barrel-trouching problem some QB79's have.
------
Small co2 tanks, under 2" in diameter and under 2 feet in lenght, don't have to be re-hydro tested. You might have to rebuild the pin valve or at worst have it replaced, and the 7oz. tanks leaves a nice amount of space between itself and the barrel.
