Kral Arms Why did this take 9 years to think of?

Cut the front off the fill assembly. Used Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black to refinish. Then drilled and tapped for 1/8 BSPT. NO MORE PROBES

I’ve got a BSA Goldstar SE that could use some of that love, and a Brocock Atomic.
i frigging hate probes. One problem is they usually have a gauge where you put the QD.

Only the a few Kral have the gauge in the front so you'd have to relocate that to the valve which isn't crazy difficult and would make it so much nicer than looking down the barrel while you fill.

Did similar a few years ago on a BSA Goldstar ... Agree on the dislike of probes !!!

I'll take a probe over an AA t-bar thingy.

Ehh I prefer the probe. More streamlined look. I don't really like the front facing fill nipple

Thats the only thing I hate about my AA S510s, that thing is just a pain in the posterior.

I replaced it with a foster fitting.

I can replace the nipple with a gauge. I might end up going that route to make it nicer to tether.

Well, I guess some people are just slow.

Better late than never.

I changed the AA T-bar on one of my AA for the convivence to fill like my other guns.... but I never had the T-bar thingy pop off and scare the crap out of me like I've had a probe and QC do. I wouldn't go back though.

I have a huma in my box of CZ200 stuff to go on when I feel like making the switch. The rifle doesn’t have a guage, so no loss.

In all honest I don’t really need a guage on my rifles. The only benefit would be for noticing a leak. I have a better guage on my fill tank that’s easier to see.

On the BSA the factory hide filler cap still screws on Making the foster fill a real sleeper

Being a bit slow on returning to my ol friend the BSA Goldstar SE

@Motorhead - what do i need to order so i can remove the gage / fill probe female stuff from my Goldstars airtube and replace with a QD foster type?

I'm a bit naive when it comes to fittings and thread pitch etc...
