I've got a walther lever action co2 rifle. It's there an adapter or anything so I can use air tank to fill it up instead of 88g co2/ 2x 12g adapter.
Thanks

Is there a way to convert walther lever action to pcp?

I bought an Crosman adapter from Gmac, but I think they have ceased trading now. AliExpress seem to do something very similar HERE
You will also need a tank and a regulator, most regulators are a fixed output. CO2 carts are about 850psi as a guideline.
Edit just checked the link, it links to all 3 not the one I thought I had linked to, its the 3rd one "Paintball Cylinder" you are looking at.

If you talking of the Walther Winchester 94 replica & are thinking of filling from a divers bottle for a PCP please dont.
I have stripped one of these walther lever actions & they are weakly constructed from pot metal, the Co2 valve assembly is tiny & the whole lot is held in the tube with tiny screws & pot metal parts. The valve is actually connected to the breech by a thin pvc hose.
There is no way that rifle can be converted to run as a pcp with the pressures involved.
It simply will not take the pressure if you try.

Should be ok with an 850psi regulated bottle, no more pressure than CO2.

Sorry I was thinking of the 850 not the replica, don't think you will fit a bottle in that.

Thanks Andy.. Keith is putting me off though! Don't want to damage the gun, but ur right about having same pressure regulator, it sounds like it should be ok.
Do u have a picture of your tank with fittings? Will my buttstock fit, or will the tank protrude from the gun?

Ah OK.. Yeah its Walther Winchester Lever Action Steel Finish .177 CO2 Air Rifle
There have been several theads about these Walther Win 94 rifles on here, they are very pretty but basically cant be uprated without a complete redesign & rebuild. I have the machinery but i confess its beyond me to do it, I simply dont have the design knowledge.
The prime achillies heel is where the barrel joins to the action, It basically all hangs on one side of the action which is blued steel finish, underneath it is a pot metal zinc alloy casting. This leaves the barrel / cylinder to action joint critically weak, effectively half sawn through.
Mine though a little used example was flexible to the point it was obviously going to break in half sooner than later. I got shot of it!

So, quick safety reminder with CO2 cartridge guns...
If you think you've dry fired enough to reduce the pressure in your nearly empty cartridge, keep going a few more times.
Using my Umarex Cowboy Renegade last weekend for a bit of plinking, it got to a point where pellets weren't leaving the shells. Racked the remaining shells out, dry fired to a (usually) suitably low level popping sound, made the gun safe.
Commenced to unscrew the cartridge holder, slowing for the low pressure hiss of what little gas should be in there.
BANG
Suddenly find the butt plate key is no longer in my...

Nice idea to turn one into PCP, but personally, I'd not go down that route.
The seals round the breach also have a habit of going.

If you used a regulated bottle with a flying lead, that would work.
The bottle would have to be tucked in your pocket.

You'd think for £500 they'd manage that!

I think best thing will be to just use it as umarex intended me to use

If you want a lever action pcp why not look for for a Phoenix? The later MKII ones are, I believe, better than the original MKI.

Thanks. Already got the walther which I love, but I'll look at that one just in case it tempts me
