Need a little frontal lobotomy 101

[Hw9720]

So I have an FX 400 royale with a couple of 300 and a 500 cc tank the 500 is too long to fit on it with a moderator that came on the gun even if you take it out of the stock is Still doesn’t want to go. I’ve got this really nice carbon fiber bottle brand new no valve and I’m wondering if the valve in the FX will change over to this valve the FX valve has no holes for a spanner wrench or removal tool. I’ll post a couple of pictures of both them side-by-side. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Get a strap wrench to remove the valve but make sure all the air is out of the bottle. If a little is left the valve won't turn. You could maybe try using a piece of leather and a pair of channel lock pliers. Good luck.

Use wood blocks on your vise and put just the valve line in the vise, grab bottle and turn, if completely empty. Also can use the strap wrench on the bottle as close to the taper as possible, a wrap of thick leather and oil filter pliers work well if it seems stuck.

Are the threads going to be compatible with each? I would like to move the 500cc bottle to my Kral.

Hard to say for sure. I would think so.
