New 700cc bottle questions answered and the bottle installed on my Red Wolf HP.

Not the normal click the button and put in your PP or credit card info, but on the other hand it really wasn't complicated at all. Mostly due to the assistance of Helen at the company, who has excellent written English skills. You just have to deal with the differences between China's work day and your own. Seems like most emails from Helen came after about 8:00 pm my time in California, or at about 11:00 am on her business day.

Tom, I just had an email exachange with Helenand will be ordering two of the bottles once they come back from the weekend. One question i have is where to get the FX valves for these 300 bar bottles. Does any retailer carry what i will need, or can I get them direct from FX?

Chris, no idea why this seems to be the only pace that has them, but I got mine from Ohio Airguns;

Agreed - that is where I have recently purchased a couple when they had some stock a few weeks ago. 

Note that in the photo in the link, it shows the older 250 bar valve. But the ones I recently purchased from Ohio Airguns were the 300 bar version (full length threads) with the M3 compatible valve pin.

Now just waiting for some to come back into stock. In the meanwhile the 2 700cc bottles I intend to use on FX guns will get the valves off the OEM bottle. The Saber Tactical Bottle Degasser kit is a godsend when doing this.

For those that have asked about Payment, I told Helen what I wanted(we message through Instagram), she put the order together, sent me an invoice and I paid it with a credit card. Super fast and easy. It shipped the next day. Helen really is super to work with. She handles everything, got the order right, sent me the tracking information when it shipped.

Knife, I agree, because the barrel was so long to begin with, the bottle looks good!

Have a good one everyone.

Thanks everyone for all of the information about the tanks and how to order them ! !

I Greatly Appreciate It ! 

Helen contacted me last evening saying they were out of stock for 3 weeks but would contact me when I could order two.

Ones for my .30 MKII Sniper and the other for my .25 M3 Sniper. I think they are going to look awesome plus more shots per fill ! ! 

I will share photos.

Link to info about this new bottle on their site: http://www.alsafechina.com/html/news/127.html

(Note: This is more of a manufacturer's/wholesaler's site than a retail site.)

Helen's direct email: [email protected]

Phone number at the bottom of all of Helen's emails: "WhatsApp/Wechat: +86-13190098696" (I have never called and spoken with her, we only communicated via email).

I talked to Helen yesterday and she said they were sold out and would be 3 weeks before they have more . Also fedex did a rate increase and she said the price now is $214 shipped. She said we could pre order

I had the same discussion with Helen. She is very helpful and responds to emails almost as soon as she see them. With the time difference I send the email in the morning when I get online (evening in China) and she responds by 8:00 PM my time (which is morning in China). I placed my pre-order yesterday.

Not too bad of a price increase - I guess that I ordered before the increase and a single bottle then was quoted at $213 shipped.

That shipping is a big hit for one bottle - $81 when I placed my order. But order 2 and the effective shipping-per-bottle cost drops to $47.50. And in my order for 5 bottles the shipping worked out to $26 per.

NO Loctite to seal the bottle. You need to be able to remove it in the future, and have never had a valve-bottle leak.

These are an o-ring based seal. No need to tighten the valve in too tight. I grease the o-ring with pure silicone grease every time I remove a valve.

Been doing it this way since I worked in a dive shop as a 'kid', back last century in the '70's.

Saber Tactical Bottle Degasser Kit is a highly recommended option if you need to change or remove valves more than one or 2 times!

Threads are the same, so direct install once you degas the entire gun. IIRC on a RW you loosen the fill port fitting slightly to de-gas?

A little silicone grease on the bottle's sealing o-ring. Since it is an o-ring seal, you don't have to go crazy tightening it. Snug it up only.

My bottles are actually finally moving through the FedEx system. After 'Operational Delays' in both China and South Korea, they have made it to Anchorage!
