580cc buddy bottle for daystate redwolf

[Redwolfpaul25]

Hi .



I just watched a youtube video from the airgun exploration and advancement channel , in it tom adams was competing at the extreme benchrest 2019 with a daystate redwolf midnight that had a 580cc bottle , does anyone know where i can get one from and is it much of a task to fit one?

I got mine from AOA. You have to bleed the air out completely then the bottle just unscrews. I bled mine by unscrewing the fill port very slowly till air starts to come out and wait for it to empty. If you go too far unscrewing the fill port, you'll damage the dowty washer that seals it and have to replace it. Not sure of the price or availability on the bottles right now. If you manage to get one, buy a dowty washer as well just to be sure.

You can order the 580 cc bottle from both Krale and Huma

thanks soren, would you know if they are compatible with redwolf valve?

Would probably be better to find one of those cheap 580 size bottles from ebay... seeing as the valve inside the FX brand makes up a bulk of the price and you don't need that valve (nor will it probably fit) on your daystate.

Like the 0.5L bottles here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fsrp=1&_sacat=0&_nkw=carbon+fiber+bottle+0.5l&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0&LH_PrefLoc=2

Does anyone know if this 2L cylinder will fit a FX/Daystate rifles?

 

[Redwolfpaul25]

thanks iralite, my redwolf already has a 480 cc bottle so the 0.5 litre bottle wouldn't be needed, I would like to find out the thread size for a bare bottle (if thats a option) 

 

[IraLite]

M18x1.5..Are you saying you don't want a .5 but you want a .58L bottle?

 

[Redwolfpaul25]

from what I can gather , the bottle on my redwolf is a 480cc , I would like to put a 580cc on there, with reference to your post with the 2L carbon fibre bottle , I believe the width of 96mm would be to wide as opposed to the factory fitted bottle of 61mm , you might run into problems with the stock not fitting

Talon Tunes sells a 580cc bottle that’ll work, you’ll just have to swap out the valve.

Have you contacted Daystate?. 

I once had a unrelated reply from Tony from Daystate in which he mentioned, having put a 580cc on a Redwolf, and that he found it "too front heavy".

 

[Redwolfpaul25]

thanks harrymoreland, I haven't contacted daystate yet as they are currently closed due to covid 19, I have thought that having a 580 cc bottle would make the rifle a bit front heavy but as I am a disabled shooter and do most of my shooting sat down with the redwolf in a wheelchair either using a bipod or a primos trigger stick or using a shooting table.

Yes I noticed the 90 vs 60ish mm size differences, maybe some body with skills can create a bottle adapter "drop down" and a bipod drop down rail so these can be fitted to a FX Impact

I can see how they could be made front heavy daystates are pretty well balanced from the factory. wouldn't matter to most people because many shoot supported anyway.

I just had a email back from sam at bestfittings uk ,he said he has been trying to source them as well and been having a bit of trouble but as soon as hes successful he will post them up on his website.

TalonTunes is where I got mine. There’s no valve just a straight swap. Weight was not a issue for me as I shoot it mainly from a bench. 

 

[AirSupply]

Worth stating again. As Bob said above in the 2nd post. “There is no valve” 

You have to completely empty the gun of air to change the bottle. Don’t try with any pressure still in the system. Also TalonTunes is happy to export overseas. I’m in Australia.

Great , i think i will get in contact with talon tunes , tell me michael, with your longer bottle pictured on the redwolf did you have to modify anything ? I notice the barrel looks different to mine ( mine is shrounded from the factory ) 

 

[AirSupply]

Hi Paul. That is an fx smooth twist barrel/ slug liner. You won’t have to modify anything to fit the 580cc bottle. The outside diameter is identical so it will clear your original Daystate barrel and shroud. 
All you’ll need to do is empty the gun of air, screw off your 480cc bottle, screw on the new 580cc bottle and refill with air. That simple.

[Redwolfpaul25]

Thats great news , do i need any special tools to unscrew the bottle from the action? I understand from bobs post that you bleed the air out of the bottle by unscrewing the fill valve slightly.

But this post just got really interesting , the fx smooth twist barrel/ slug liner , did you simply just fit that to your redwolf or did it require modifications?
