With bottling couldnt you just swap out small 13ci bottles out in the field rather than taking a scuba or simmilar?
I'd like to know, too.

I really do not think you can simply do this with any air-gun that has been bottled. If I am wrong, I'm sure that someone will correct me pretty quick here.Thanks,agw.
1st ERROR of the inquire .... There NOT regulated, which is a bummer IMO.Big power and larger caliber a very very cool mod to be sure.Shot to shot consistency there still a dump gun with a bell curve to contend with.
Only one I have seen many done of on mrod. The 13 CI tank is only 200CC thats smaller than original tubes This style is filled on rifle , long flat sweet spot on curve unregged is advantage, balance is great better than factory tube and with more than twice as much air on board almost the same weight as factory configuration this one is a .25 very early 2010 of first .25 from CrosmanBottle Kit parts from pakprotector The pressure tube upon teardown is an ad for using tank air no corrosion on any parts pristine like new insidestarted with this made it to here on my stock coloring adventures beginningBSA barrel with thimble on right, Factory barrel on leftThimble was sealing with a 10.5MM ID x 1MM CS oring...thimble was a fairly loose slip fit on barrel stub and leaked on shots the 1 MM CS oring fit and was snug to breech ID this is where I placed Oring assembly start Stock was ready see the fuming threadAssembly point Darn had a leaktook eye dropper of dawn dishsoap water to joints figures the one thing I did not tape my self and relied on factory applied tape leaked first barrel tried was the factory one to get a baseline of how rifle performed weight was a wash same as stock after modding to add bottle but now 500CC or air on board next up was the longer BSA Barrel with thimble.....breech only had one set screw holding barrel due to thimble so I added two more The barrel thimble placement will limit T port size to factory .140 this was to allow bolt to fully seat pellet into BSA blank startIF I wanted to go bigger it would have to be after a final rotation placement was found on where barrel shot the bestwithout tuning on factory valve I ended up with 47 shots at 40 FPE and a ES of 28I may just leave it right about there on this one Rifle balences much better than factory tube I am so happy with it I wish I had NOT bought the BSA R10 MK II now
Enough about my bottled air-gun.Why aren't they regulating their bottled mrods? For more power output? Higher pressure behind each shot? If yes, I'm pretty sure I understand what you mean about them having to find that sweet-spot...kinda like the FD-PCP, huh? My FD-PCP is finely tuned at 4% curve!:)I just find it hard to believe that a 22ci bottle does not make mrod feel heavier, or even more front heavy...more so than the factory tube, but what do I know, I've never held a factory mrod.I'd like to see some stats on a 22ci bottled more in .22 and .25 to see what is shot count, curve percentage, how much air is left after use able shots, how much more power or fps is gained, etc. vs. the factory tube. Must be a lot getter for guys to want to do the conversion!I think it looks great myself.Look forward to more answers!Respectfully,agw.
I drew up a quick and dirty adapter for an M-Rod that would take a regulated paintball bottle. Made from 6061-T6 the FEA showed it good to almost 8000PSI and eMachineShop would machine, anodize and ship in quantity of 100 for around $40 each. I just didn't see that big of a market for them in the $60-$70 range which it would need to be to make it worthwhile.
discos and prod can use blocks that are already on the market.Josh
