Air Bottles

[logan esq 99]

Hey gents,

 

I'm on the look out for a 3 ltr bottle that I can carry on my bike when out in the field. I can only find the tall slim kind, does any know if or where I can get hold of a shorter stubby type one. That is even if they exist.

Have a look at this http://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shopdisplaycategories.asp?id=14&cat=300+BAR+Air+Gun+Charging+Cylinders

is it not just easier to just get another buddy bottle? save fill up and testing costs and a lot easier to carry.

[logan esq 99]

Had a look at both sites. It's hw100 I'm using so no buddy bottle treecreeper. But I suppose maybe an extra air cylinder a&m one or the like.

 

I already have a 12 ltr bottle at home so another bottle would be silly in some aspects.

 

I am right in thinking I can change the air cylinder on the 100 in the field, no tools required?

Ther's a fella near Derby could help you out. I guess you' have to google air supplies and cylinder testing Derby.

I bought a spare air cylinder for my HW100 from another forum but be aware that you cannot change an A & M cylinder as it has no valve unlike the HW factory cylinder which can be removed whilst still holding air.

 

I think Uttings do a 0.5lt cylinder for field top up's, around the size of a small flask but they are about £120 with whip/gauge so nearly as much as a 3lt unit.

 

Hope that helps.

i think you can change the a\m cylinder as long as your below 90 bar

give them a ring but im sure im right

I stand to be corrected but I was told that the A&M cylinder does not have a valve in unlike the HW cylinder which does have a valve so retaining the air when removed. Sounds like my info was possibly wrong.

Just looked at A&M site and it looks like you and Mitch are right so sorry for wrong info to the op.

Here is their actual wording,' the cylinder cannot be removed from the gun whilst FULL', so I assume as you say David, it can be removed when lower pressure is left in the cylinder.
