I have an hpa converted 850 ( thanks Roald for much advice) the local paintbal dealer will not charge the 22ci bottle as the UK doesn't recognise the Dot 3 spec. Tony on this site spoke of possible Luxfer bottles becoming available(to UK spec). Has there been any progress? The possible option is
to get a dive bottle (pi spec)- for various reasons i would prefer not to do this(not least the expense of all the kit involved). I presume any Luxfer bottle would be subject to regular testing, even if of less than 2 in. dia?
Would these bottles take my existing 850 regulator?
Sorry for all the queries, but I'm getting frustrated, owning a good rifle that I can't use! - and don't want to have to return it to CO2 which will be
probably unusable in UK winter temperatures. Thanks for any update - Bill,who
is reduced to using my old Sharp Innova!
