BSA Superten Quick fill?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
You are dealing with high pressure air. Don't try drill it yourself. Assuming you want to drill a hole in the bottom of the aluminum buddy bottle and add a male Foster or Parker to it so you don't need to keep unscrewing the bottle every time you fill the gun. AZ would be the only person I would trust to do that. You can just send him the bottle.

Haha no I wasn’t planning on doing any drilling. I just wondered what else was out there. If nothing then it would be heading to AZ

I sold my set up years ago, but there may be photos floating around the Yellow forum.

It looks like you have 3 options:

1. Dr. Bob

2. Best Fittings 

3. AZ’s mod (there is a bunch of controversy regarding this method with the English chaps who are purists. Plus AZ goes into hiding now and then. He likes to live off the grid..)

Options 1 & 2 will extend the bottle out a bit. Supertens are very very.. did I mention VERY accurate rifles. Their Achilles heel is the reg and lack of quick fill. This is the reason I sold mine for a RAW. I do like the BSA mag over the RAW mag. It’s nearly impossible to have your cake and eat it.

Thanks for all the info. I talked to Alan last week about another project but I know what you mean lol. The rifle I own is boring accurate if there is a such a thing. It’s the only reason I kept it. Now my Father wants it so I’m trying to make it a little simpler to fill for him. As always the information here doesn’t get much better. I appreciate it and wanted to find my best option.

I wonder if the Superten can be like the Theoben Rapids where you just replace a plug on bottom of the receiver to put a quick fill or manometer just drill the stock...

You could inquire about running a V -Block for a RAW HM1000 series that has the male Foster fill but you have to modify your stock. Dual regulators or just buy the unregulated V -Block.
