How to degas LCS SK19 bottle

h2okenny · May 11, 2020

Had a .5L carbon fiber bottle ordered for my TalonP. Got the tank and SK19 the same day. I'd definitely prefer to put the larger tank on the SK19, just not sure how to degas the bottle to get the valve out after unscrewing the bottle from the gun. Hoping someone can give me some advice.

Maybe run it full auto while the bottle is still on the gun to completely empty it first then remove? Yo!

Yeah, I considered that, just wasn't sure if that could damage the gun. Manuel says"do not dry fire" and "Do not fire the airgun without air It may damage the valve assembly and void your warrenty" even although AoA videos show them dry firing several times. Guess I need to call AoA.

I saw that too that's why I made the suggestion. Another thought if you plug in your fill hose crack the valve then close valve then bleed super slowly maybe the check valve won't close and empty all the air. Yo!

Just carefully unscrew and just bit the pressure gauge and done

Well, there's a real DUH!!! moment

. Seems obvious now.

Thanks edosan

I believe AOA has a few videos on the LCS SK19. I'd check them out, before trying anything. And I would not recommend the dry fire till empty thing.

Yeah, I've looked at all the videos. They did one on replacing various o-rings, one being under the pressure gauge. He unscrewed the tank to prevent losing all the air. In my case I'm leaving the tank connected. Should work fine, I just hope the valve isn't to difficult to remove.

Are you sure the bottles have the same thread?

h2okenny · May 12, 2020

Yep, same threads, m18X1.5. Unfortunately the neck on my bottle is slightly larger and rubs against the regulator adjuster, so turns out I won't be able to use it. Guess I'll use it on my Airforce gun after all.
