More info on 6000psi Nitrogen setup?

Any input on tank size?
I talked to Monkyshine, and he said his tank is about 5ft tall.

You won't have much choice of tank size at 6K like on lower pressure gasses. They usually use a 200 size bottle that will hold 400 to 500 cu/ft of gas at pressure. They are HEAVY and require more than one person to move them. The walls on a 6K tank are 1" thick steel.

Ok, called Joe B.'s shop today.
Prices they gave me were $189 for unregulated and $489 for regulated 6k hose assemblies, plus shipping. Seems that I heard from someone, that I'd want regulated for safety's sake.
I'll call around tomorrow for nitrogen tank, refill, and delivery charges. I've read that they vary from shop to shop.

Wow.... that's more $ than I thought. Good to know, Thanks, Terry!

Terry, If you're filling up a carbon fiber tank from the Nitrogen tank, you don't need the regulated set up and can save $300. But if you're going to fill your rifle directly from it, the regulated set up would be safer.

If you do go with N2, a simple fix to make the tank safe in your garage is screw a couple of horizontal 2x4s to the wall and use two ratchet straps screwed to those to fix it too the wall.

Thanks Chasdicapau. That definitely makes it more affordable. I'm filling my tanks only.

Thanks Goodtogo. I've got a corner of the garage picked out that should work fine. Out to the barn to find a couple 2 bys.
