If not how can i tell what kind of threads i have? Thanks fellas. If it helps the guage is from an old regulator thats no longer made for airforce airguns. Its called an etac reg. Thanks.
Are all air guages the same threads?

America typically uses 1/8" NPT which is a tapered thread.
Europe typically uses 1/8" BSPP which is a straight thread.
China can be either or 10 mm

Raden1942,
There are 3 Main thread patterns in use. G1/8 BSP, 1/8 NPT and M10x1. British, American and Metric. All three are similar sized but with different thread patterns. I have put one into the other and got a leak free joint with enough thread sealant but it’s not recommended on out HPA equipment.

Don't know if you have a parkrose hardware store in your area or true value , but many of the nuts & bolt stores have gage boards so you can indentifie the thread size you need . Just a thought Darell
