Need help filling FX Impact buddy bottles...

[tcgun]

Can someone point me to a source for an adapter to fill FX buddy bottles directly? To be clear, I need to fill my bottles when they are NOT mounted to the rifle. 



I’ve searched for hours and can’t find anything. Seems like it should be available somewhere (I have the fitting that allows me to fill my Theoben bottles this way). A US based source would be best, but I’ll order from anyone at this point.

Thanks!

Ive never heard of such a thing. since all that is envolved is screwing/unscrewing why not just use the rifle to fill the bottles?

I can’t. I need to fill the bottles off of the rifle due to the location where the filling occurs...

I added a link, the FX valve may hinder what will work

Is there a prohibition on the gun where the fill station is? I am not an FX guy, so I am short of details on their design. On general ideas, I am not that eager to fill a pressure vessel sans the rest of the gun.



I suggest that you get your own compressor or a stand alone tank that you don't have to hide. Best option I feel is to fill where you shoot to overcome the geographic challenge.

The q/f will likely be 1/4bsp, I don’t know what size thread the fx bottle adapter is (I know the thread in the bottle is M18) but I am sure that if you get the parts any hydraulic parts supplier will be able to sort you out a fitting to join the two together.

the other way is get a fitting that goes directly from the charging tank to the fx bottle adapter.

I know it can be done. Saw a Matt Dubber video with him filling the bottles direct from a nomad 2 compressor.
