Divers Bottle Valves

[mexlad 189]

Hi, I'm the proud new owner of a BSA scorpion se after a long time away from air rifles, my last gun was a BSA super ten and when I bought it it came with the divers bottle and the valve already attached so everything was there to charge the rifle, one of my mates is selling a bottle but needs testing and there's no valve with it, ( the wire bit that connects the gun and bottle) incase it's not called a valve lol, does anyone know where I will be able to get one from,

 

Cheers mexlad

The valve is the silver part with that is permanently screwed into the neck of the bottle, it has a turn knob on it to release the air from the bottle and sometimes has a gauge too. There is then a fitting that screws into the valve and the hose (sometimes called a 'whip') them comes out of that fitting. On the other end of the hose is another fitting into which is screwed the filling adapter. This adapter is the part that attaches to the filling probe on your rifle. Try somewhere like www.bestfittings.co.uk or the for sale section of this forum. Hope this helps and isn't too patronising!
