Carbon fiber bottle for FX

Maybe here is a better option it has the valve http://www.precisionairgunsandsupplies.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=fxcarbonfiberaircylinder

Cliff ,
You should be able to fit it without any problems except maybe just maybe a small amount of the inside of the stock has to be remove but that's very minimum , just make sure you drain all the air from the original FX bottle , all of it it , it just makes the valve removal easier and if it's a little tight some heat will help, but not too much maybe leaving in the sun for a few minutes will loosen it up , in the worst case scenario use a heat gun if you have one , ( do not use a plumbers torch it might leave marks on bottle and burn "O" ring seals inside valve ) .

That's a good weight reduction for the 500. Might look at myself once I recover from the regulator install

I have drained all the air from my Impact bottle at one point and attempted to remove the valve. It was in there very tight and was unable to remove it.

I bought the same bottle for my fx400 and the valve came from best fittings in the UK they are the same valve same thread.

Does anyone know what it would cost to just buy the carbon bottle and valve from AOA. I've thought about replacing the one on my Boss. My guess is that it's the same as the 500?

Had an extra carbon bottle delivered for my Impact from FX, and they added 3000 NOK to the invoice total. In USD that is about 300 at the moment I think.
