I doubt the OP could do it for $140 or even $180 per cylinder and have the quality of either Kirst or R&D.

We are a very small market and should support those who support us. For the amount of engineering, machinery, insurance, rent, marketing and labor that goes into a Kirst gated conversion cylinder, I'm surprised he sells them at such a reasonable price.

I don't work for either Kirst or R&D, but I do own a small business and know what it costs to put out an American made product in a limited market.
