fx impact new cf bottle

Damned, those are cheap! I wonder how much work it is to mod the Impact to take one of these bottles . . . for this price, seems worthwhile!

Ironic that the valve ends up costing just as much as the bottle itself!

Easy mod, I forgot I think filing down less than 1/8” to clear bottle, you can remove lower rail for easy filing / grinding / sanding and polishing and yes it’s the only obstruction that prevent the bottle from screwing on flush.

Thanks, Ernest . . . seems easy enough to do.

Did you say that you got the valves for around $70? The link you provided lists them at around $94 right now so did the price go up or do they go on sale or ??? Thx

You can email them, if you buy more then one the price is lower, if just wanting one AOA sell them for $108 with shipping the last time I purchased. 

Look like the same MFR made them.

wish they cost $50 to be fair 

if you have two AG that can used the same bottle and wanting to carry a small fill bottle like this--they also sell, then it's worth buying more than one valve.

note: if competing it's best to change bottle then refilling the bottle its quicker and the air temp on the spare bottle is stabilized/cooled to space temp.

Any updates on the Valves?I keep finding them for the ~$60 price point.



Or is there a specific search criteria or terms I can use to locate them?



FX Bottle valve is the only thing I have been able to find them under.

Here is what I'm looking for. Stateside and maybe at a better price point. https://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shop/fill-probes-adaptors/buddy-bottles-valves/fx-buddy-bottle-valve-to-fit-220cc-300cc-500cc-carbon-and-400cc-500cc-alloy-buddy-bottles-m18-x-1-5-thread/





Anyone have sources? Would prefer it in Stainless steel too. All this non SS, or TI, or AL on the gun is rusting and really making me mad
