As we know, the Avenger is equipped with a long and a short reservoir. Just wondering if anyone has removed the short one ane replaced it with another long one?

I’ve seen it done, but you’d have to have a second Avenger. AV doesn’t sell parts like that separately. I just converted mine to a bottle setup and like it much more. I put a 700cc bottle on mine and have a huge shot count.

OK Darylm, thanks for your reply. I guess the only way would be to find a non working Avenger and buy it cheap for parts.

I sold my long tube to a member that did just that. If you are interested a buddy has an extra tube he would sell, PM me.

I got a 500 CC bottle that will take 4500psi. I use it to recharge my Avenger. I have been totally surprised that it has held 4000psi on the gage for the last 3 weeks! Got it off Amazon for $108 complete. Saw a pic of the bottle cut in half lengthwise. The wall thickness is between 3/8-1/2" It is supposed to be good to 6500 PSI and I believe it. My compressor will get it to just above 4300psi (300 bar) before it shuts off. I can get about 3 fills above 3000 psi with it fully charged. Regular on the gun currently set at 2800psi.

Oh sorry didnt realize. You need to be around for a couple weeks before being able to PM. He is in no rush, just let me know when you can

O. B. Hello , I've done just that . I have two Avengers , an original that started out w/ its plastic stock that I replaced w/ a wood stock and a bull pup. I have since put a bottle kit on the original . I then replaced the short tube on the b-pup w/ the long tube from Av #1. This required opening up the stock for clearance of course. I found NO benefit to it! I seemed to use more air at each shot ( call me crazy ) ! I could see the gauge move after a few shots (as in 3) . I switched it back to original short & long & it settled back down . And yes I had tested for leaks after both configurations by topping off to 4300 psi & letting the gun set for 24 hr.s each . NO leaks upon standing on the bench each time . Makes no sense but YMMD !

Good question , but Idaho Airgunner has a gun w/two short tubes running so,,,, . Conundrums such as this tend to make a man drink heavily !

And to further the discussion , Haji's bottle kit for the b-pup runs off of the lower short tube by blocking off the upper tube ( I think ).

I thought it was just another air reservoir. I bought a plenum from AEswede, don't really know how much difference it made.

O.Bd .I also added a plenum ( from Haji ) , it added 60 fps from the existing setting first test.

I would like to shoot mine through a chronograph to see. It shot through 3/4 plywood right outta the box and when I use slugs it goes through a 2x4. I'm hoping to get an armadillo in my sights one of these evenings.
