Or you could just adapt it to a quick connect instead. More available, and all around more convenient than shraders.

Big 5 Sporting goods. I noticed the valve while browsing their shotguns and rifles. Big 5 chain stores are found mostly on the west coast US.
My interest on spud guns began when I couldn't legally buy guns.
Now its because my guns are too loud to legally shoot.

Its not like it was legal to being with, but they don't offer subsonic 7.62x39 or 7.62x54R. They only have subsonic .22 long. Thats no fun stuff doesn't explode.

O' Reilly's auto parts has the threaded ones for around $2. I think they are labeled as tank fill valves.
