First must say I need to replace the thread connectors on both the Impact action body and on the 450cc CF bottle as well. My local dealer didn't had these adapters so I ordered from EU-Portugal I believe, and the package shall be in the air as we speak.
In meantime I started tinkering, why not get a new steel/aluminum bottle for the Impact, that would make it a bit heavier for shooting of the bench.
And here the problems started surfacing.
2-3 years ago we had difficulties locating CF bottles other then the OEM sizes, and now I see a difficulty to located alloy bottles in 30 Mpa /4500 psi.
 
Not talking CF but alloy bottle that I can fit on Impact. Do you have one you can trade?
I would put the FX 450cc on L2 and that could free up a smaller 300cc (came down from a M3).
Yeah I know the 700cc bottle that goes on a gun. No I don't have any to trade, you mean the 480cc?

What I'm saying is instead of looking for a unicorn 300 bar alloy bottle just get a 700cc cf one that will increase volume and weight.

I use an fx 480cc on the L2, bit of a tight fit with the hand on the grip but it works for me.

I forgot to say that I am tethering from a large 14L scba, so really no need for a super large tank on the gun, I would just prefer heavier a little bit.
This is a 470cc bottle right now on my Impact. Not much room up front, I have the radar bracket mounted there. I assume the 700cc bottle would be much longer.

An hour ago I had to fix that bottle, both the male and female threads got worn badly, received the new parts and replaced.
Once I had that bare bottle in my hands I try it on the L2, with a vertical Penguine grip this 470cc was way too long (265mm) for comfortable holding/shooting.... so no bueno, that plan is busted.
 
For the Impact these would be still short (vs 265mm currently on it), and the 700cc is way too long. Last night I tried the short 185mm 300cc CF from the L2 and put it on the Impact, :) looked weird.

Here's a 300mm long one. (Don't know anything about sellers)


Or a 250mm one
