Does the FX Crown have a Dual Air tank adapter like the Impact has? Any insight or knowledge is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Fx Crown Mk II Question (Newest Generation)
- Thread starter Milf Dots
- Start date
I have never seen one and the stock would probably need altered to get one to fit. I get a bunch of shots from my crown mk2’s. If the 480cc bottles isnt big enough get one of the bigger bottles.

You can contact Saber Tactical and and ask if their Impact Double Tank Adapter would fit the Crown chassis and what stock modifications would be required: ( https://sabertacticalinc.com/products/fx-impact-double-tank-adapter-st0011 ).

No offense meant but why would you ever consider crucifying the aesthetically graceful look of an FX Crown by mounting a double bottle pack?
Sounds a bit like swearing aloud in the midst of mass.
Why not consider the option of mounting a 700cc cilinder ? End result on a 600 mm barrel Crown visually more resembles a thick tube rather than a bottle. (to my eyes anyway - but feel free to convince yourself using the photo below). Moreover, when shooting 'free standing', balance now even feels a bit better than with the factory mounted 480cc tank (in my hands anyway).
From a 600mm barrel Crown MKII shooting the JSB 18 grains at around 920-925 fps, delivering a shotcount of over 300 shots per fill from 250 bar down to 100 bar regulator setting. (max velocity with 18 grains is around 970fps)
Am also shooting 21 grain H&N .217 slugs at around 930 fps (with the same 100 bar reg setting). Haven t counted shots per fill with the 21 grain slugs yet, but it still is a massive lot.

To stay on point, I agree with Ex get a bigger bottle. I have a question too, Ex I have the same gun but with the 380 barrel. Would the larger bottle look ok on it? couldn't find a pic thanks

Must say I ve never seen a 380 mm barrel Crown with a 700 cc cilinder on it either. I don t have any 380mm nor 500mm nor 700mm barrels (on Crown) . All my Crown barrels are 600mm, even in .177 .
Really can t judge a 380mm barrel X 700cc cillinder combination without having seen nor held such Crown in my hands.
Nevertheless for your interest i ve just now roughly measured both 480cc and 700cc bottles. The difference in cilinder length being about 14,5 cm (= around 5,7 inches) while the difference between 600mm barrel and 380mm barrel is 220mm, i guess the top of an installed 700cc cilinder on a 380 mm barrel Crown like yours, will normally stay a few cm clear of your mounted silencer.
Whether such configuration will look good, that s for you to decide. After all, there s no accounting for taste.
In the margin of it :
at reading your question my mind immediately went to visualizing an AGT Urugan with the relatively long cilinder top getting close to the barrel end.
I reckon if you like the combined look of that barrel and cilinder, then perhaps the combination of a long cilinder X short barrel on a Crown just might be to your liking too.
Of course just guessing here.

If you have a long tank with a short barrel set up you would need a barrel extension to pass over the longer tank
