Hello,

Has anyone tried to put Carbon fiber airbottles on a Hatsan Hercules?
I am interested if it is possible?
I think the cf bottle of Talon tunes would fit but i am not sure.
Have anyone have seen or try this yet?

Okay, so i think nobody have done this before.
I'am gonna order 2 bottles at talontunes and see how it go's
I will update when i get the bottles and shoot some pictures.

Greeting Leon

I thought about that, , but I'm not sure the threads in the cf bottles will be compatible, & that's if the cf bottle's OD is the same or similar. Might even be able to go a little bigger, at least on the forward one. But an adapter should remedy the thread issue if there is one. And using cf bottles should allow for a 300 bar operating pressure if the hammer could be adjusted to open the valve at 4500 psi instead of the usual 250 bar. Best benefit to using cf bottles on the Hercules would be the weight savings, that gun is anything but light.

Keep us updated, I for one will be watching to see your progress.

I looked into that, and the threads are the same. The hatsan has M18x1.5 thread, the same as the cf bottles of talontunes. The main reason for me is the weight reduction.
I'am thinking also about a carbon fibre stock, but first see how the bottles go.

Will this work on the Hatsan Nova too?

You can see the thread size on the bottle.
I think its also M18x1.5

Try an image hosting website, which I believe others from Netherlands have access.

Okay, here we go!!!! If you have any questions feel free to reply.
Hope you enjoy.

And the first thing you do is empty the bottles.
Shoot it dry empty until it reach 50 bar and then the valve opens and you will hear the rest of the air escaping from the bottles.

Its working, i shall continue...

Leon · « **Reply #15 on:** August 11, 2017, 06:10:48 PM »

The stock has one bold in the center.

Leon · « **Reply #16 on:** August 11, 2017, 06:15:46 PM »

The leather around the bottle is an old belt.

Leon · « **Reply #17 on:** August 11, 2017, 06:21:00 PM »

So the steel/alu bottles are removed. The new cf bottles from talon are a little bit thicker around the neck so i must remove a bit of material from the inside of the stock to make it fit.

Leon · « **Reply #18 on:** August 11, 2017, 06:21:58 PM »

Let the grinding begin....

Leon · « **Reply #19 on:** August 11, 2017, 06:25:33 PM »

Now we gonna test fit the new bottles to the stock.
