Jason
I have zero experience with bottled gun... yet ;D  How do you bump up the 850 psi output on these?

A stack of 0.032" thick Bellevilles is sufficient for achieving a setpoint of 1500psi, which is as much as most 1.8k burst disks will support reliably when you factor in tolerances, temperature rise, and eventual creep.

Thanks for that info Jason. I have considered doing a bottle on my SPA CP1 C02 to PP800 PCP converted gun. I don't know if there is a drop block out there for it. I think I would prefer a reverse drop on that short barrel gun.

 Offer bottle adapters, but I have not seen any reverse styles from either for som reason, or I would be all over that.

Thanks James, I have not seen them either. I'll contact Wes after the weekend.
