Yeah, I'd like to see about ordering another valve pin and some o-rings just to have them for the future. I haven't found anyone with the pins in stock, but I should call and see if they can order any. Fox Air Power has o-ring seal kits (for a pretty high price), but I guess it might make sense to just bite the bullet and order a set. It would be nice to have a better diagram of the guns with all the parts called out and seal sizes listed.

Awesome info. Just to be clear, I just need the adapter and a bottle ? No special valve needed ? And do all adapters clock correctly ? Concerned about it fitting square to the gun.

FYI…old saw blades make great scrapers…they don’t have to be pretty. Cut up an old blade with an angle grinder, drill a hole in the center, run a piece of all thread in there. Chuck it in a drill motor, hold it up to a belt sander until it’s approximately the diameter you’re looking for. A nut between the discs increase cutting efficiency. .040 should be a short amount of time. Good luck. John

CF bottles off of Amazon are $95-$130 depending on size of bottle.

Tuxing 0.36l was about $80 last year. $109 now and if the additional threatened tariffs are implemented no telling how much they will cost.

Best bargain is the 0.5L which is only $109 right now.

Only *bargains* on AliExpress ship from US stock. 1.1L Acecare for $101. But Tuxing/Alsafe/Acecare dont stock gun size bottles in the US. At some point they will run out of pre-tariff stocks of the larger tanks too.

No lo sé. Algunos pesos de AEA y JTS son visiblemente indistinguibles, y otros presentan diferencias notables en su forma. JTS también tiene diseños que no son producidos por AEA. Un ejemplo es el semidomo JTS en calibres .22 y .25.

No me sorprendería que estuvieran fabricados en la misma fábrica, pero creo que están diseñados por diferentes diseñadores.

Es muy probable que sea así.

As for the socket idea, if you have enough extensions and the right adapter, you an spin that to great effect.

High compression cylinders on any compressor will get hot (to the touch). Even my ice water cooled Yong Heng gets hot (57C or 134.6F). Physics! Adiabatic heating.

Hay man" some great idea's.Well i hate to say this but i have more time then money"i kinda like the socket idea"I got a rifle that shoot so gooood" but it has the plastic stock.When ya a old fart ya just caint wrap yer head around the plastic"I guess their is more then one way to skin a cat?

Oh I get that position, it's my story too. "Of course I know him, he's me...." I recommend some sort of rigid form and sandpaper on plastic. If you break thru you can bondo fill it.

Zelis/M60 bottle conversion is $50 for the adapter plus bottle. If you go with the carbon fiber bottle there should not be a great difference in weight vs the aluminum tubes.

But tariffs are boosting the prices of the carbon fiber bottles just like the guns. Most small CF bottles come from China.

An aluminum bottle will add weight.

Economics it might just be better to stick with the tube and see how the tariff situation works out.

BTW: Zelos is a great choice starting out.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned. Depending on the compressor you ordered, it may not be suitable for filling tanks, only guns. Some of the smaller compressors can use a car battery, or a 12v battery for use at the range, if you don't have power there.

Search Firewalker in member search! You'll find him/her, whatever.

So I ordered a challlenger and a challlenger bullpup regulator, I received two HP SS regulators and two bullpup plenums. Part numbers are similar so I guess its a honest mistake, they told me they'd send two more and I can do what I want with the HP SS regulators, but i also got a invoice for another $69 and they never sent anything for a standard challlenger just two bullpup regulators and I put one in my standard challlenger and it seemed fine, not leaking, fired, but it was late and I put it away. Next day im ready to shoot and psi was at 2k so wtf, start degassing and must have got below set pressure and I heard it shoot to the front of the tube and there's nothing holding that end oring in place then it drops back down and I decided im never dealing with that again and don't need a regulator for hunting so im selling everything in pairs, cheap. $70 for the 2 HP SS and $50 for the pair of Challlenger standard bullpup, the used bullpup regulator is obviously missing the bottom oring that got shredded.
Update, HP SS have been sold

I just discovered some bottled Zelos compacts done by firewalker - I'm liking that. How do I find this gentleman ?

No luck getting parts from David. What I did manage is to order some 304 stainless rod. Looks like I’ll have to make my own button.

I’ve heard that too and all the shops I’ve tried were out of most if not all calibers. I managed to get one of or maybe the last one Fox Air Power had this last March. Mine is a standard stock 24” in .357. I agree that it is really a “good bang for the buck” gun. Mine shoots a couple of NOE mold cast slugs pretty well, but it really shoots the FX Hybrids. They group really well at 100 yards and leave the muzzle at 1120 fps! My maximum fpe is in the low 230’s with the heavier slugs. So far I’ve had 0 issues with mine and I think they’re missing the boat if they have discontinued the line. They’re still not light (mine was 8.4# out of the box), but it’s still only 9.5# scoped. I wish they really were the 6.9# as advertised, but I kind of knew that before I bought it.

AEA is weird like that. It is like they only have a finite bandwidth for products. Once they start working on a new product some current product just dies without any notice.
