FX Removing valve from FX bottle

[Terryb00]

Hey Shooters,
How difficult is it to remove the valve from an FX cf bottle?

I'm asking because I need the bottle for an upcoming project, not the valve.

It's VERY easy if you have the Saber Tactical kit...I tried with the normal whatchamacallit wrench and it was pretty hard to do. The Saber kit makes it super simple (and safe).

It's this kit here:

Bottle Degasser Kit ST0020 – Saber Tactical Inc

This kit comes in handy when you have to travel with your airguns. TSA requires that the bottles are empty and may ask you to disassemble it to show that it is empty. It has a knurled screw that screws into the bottle and releases the air. Once the tank is empty, attach the red bottle clamp onto...

You have to be sure to completely empty all the air out of the bottle. I have the Saber Tactical valve removal tool and it makes it easy. You maybe able to turn the valve out with a wrench if you pad the jaws. If any air is still in the bottle the valve won't turn.
