BSA R10 carbon buddy bottles

[loop]

Does anyone have an r10 with a carbon buddy bottle, can you please show pictures? , I'm thinking of getting one (300cc) but would like to see some owners pictures. Thanks

As a newbie I’m going to ask a stupid question but I’m guessing if you fit a larger bottle it holds more air thus larger shot count between re-fills?? Is that correct

Here’s my old Super Carbine with a Best Fittings 500cc and an Inocom 480cc
Best rifle I’ve owned, wish I’d never swapped it now

It does, but not as many as I expected.
Despite having the Huma reg as well.
Bought s/h and not been inside it yet.
Looks like over 150 is possible with the 200cc
and a lot more with a 300cc from what I have seen.
I have ordered the light hammer conversion
from Apex and will have a look at the reg setting and other bits when I'm in it.
My Steyr FT also had a low shot count with the blue insert so I imagine it will be similar as to the cause.

Hi pal,do you get a flat disc for the back of the spring aswell

I fitted a 400cc metal one to mine, fits without any other modifications.
Obviously its a bit heavier than standard but still balances well and I shoot off a bag anyway.

Did you have to use the extended best fittings valve on your best fittings carbon buddy bottle so it would clear the stock or did it have the standard size valve? Thanks

 

[soggytomato]

Both bottles came with the valves already fitted-pretty sure they were the extended ones as don’t think the carbon bottles fit without

Has it made a difference..?

Sorry Guys, but not for me, it was on the cards, but not now, especially after seeing these photos, not my cup of tea, I fitted a Huma reg, hell of a lot more regulated shots, but as for the cylinder, I will just cope with the extra weight

Feels much faster cycle than standard setup
