CF Bottle For FX Boss

Check with AOA. I believe you can purchase a CF bottle to replace the steel one.

"NCairgunner"I've seen the pictures of the FX Impact with the CF bottle and was wondering if FX is possibly going to be offering CF bottles for the Boss. I would love to take a pound off of my Boss. It would make a great rifle even better. Is there an aftermarket alternative available now? I'm curious because I can't leave well enough alone. I like to tinker with my rifles.

If you find something out on this please post it. I'm interested too.

I tried AOA for a FX Royale CF Bottle. They told me they are not available.

Other folks sell DOT certified CF bottles and for a good bit less $. What are the threads inside your bottle neck?

My brother's Royale 400 came with a carbon fiber bottle and it was so cool I called AoA to check on availability and pricing to purchase for my Royale 400. The bottles were available and priced at just under $300. This pricing was of 2 months ago.

I saw a bad ass Evanix CF bottle with an extended nipple on the end for a sling attachment.

I purchased a FX Boss laminate from AOA and it came with the Carbon Fiber Bottle. It is one great rifle.

Got and installed a 480CC CF bottle for my Boss from Talon Tunes, nothing to it. Now feels much better when handling the close to 1 lb less rifle . Never looked back!

An then when you have that spare 500cc bottle put it to use as a pony bottle with this valve from Best Fitting UK.

Here's mine after I put a CF on my Royale.

That’s a good kit for that purpose. I bought a used (but practically new) 680cc CF 4500 psi paintball bottle off eBay for $45 and use the rig as my field bottle. Two things about this rig. First is there is no pressure gage. Second is that when you vent it off after filling your gun, it vents all at once and sounds like a .22 LR shot. I almost crapped myself the first time I used it...  

Order the Basic Valve Kit in M18*1.5 to use your metal FX bottle, or in 5/8-18 to use a paintball bottle. The kit can be ordered with an add on pressure gauge if you want that. 

No, you need to provide the female foster for the hose end. To keep it more portable and adaptable, I installed a male foster on the fill valve, and a female on either hose end...

You could also use this kit for the metric connection M18*1.5:

Thanks for covering for me Centercut. I've been hooked up at work and haven't had a chance to log on. Your right, that sudden burst of air will sure wake you up. I did find out that the nipple that screws into the valve is a 7/16 X 20 bolt thread so you could get an adapter and plumb in a inline bleeder to make it a more civil bleed off.
