An adjustable tank Is you regulator. You don't need another one. One more thing to act up during play and adds weight to haul around.

You have to maintain roughly a 500 psi difference between the supply tank and a secondary reg to provide the flow volume needed to keep up with high rates of fire. You go to LP at say 300 psi and set you tank reg at 500 psi, you will likely have shootdown at higher rates of fire.

A LP valve is a requirement if your LP operating. pressure goal is in the 300 - 400 psi range. Otherwise you will be limited to 600-700 psi with a stock valve.

Send me an e mail and I'll tell you where to get used $20-30 regs that work just fine.

Barrels length depends on what kind of paintball you play. If you play tournament and speed ball a lot, you will want a shorter barrel that points quickly and doesn't stick out from behind cover providing a target for you opponent.

If you play rec and woods ball, you would want a longer barrel for better long range aiming (accuracy is about the same) and they tend to be quieter.

Don't throw that stock bolt away. Once you get your LP set up working, put the stock bolt back in and make NO other changes. Take a trip to the chorno and notice which bolt gives you the higher muzzle velocity. That will tell you which bolt could provide you with better air efficiency. Then if you want, pull out the insert in the stock bolt to open up the flow even more. Then check the chrono again. I have two venturi bolts and I use the stock one with the insert removed.
