FX Dreamline Compact Tactical .22

You need to get the Bottle adapter: https://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/FX_Dream_Lite_Dream_Tac_Bottle_Adapter/9101 Then you can add an FX Bottle. I ordered mine with the 500cc Aluminum Bottle: https://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/FX_500cc_Standard_Bottle_w_Valve/9076, which is the cheapest way to go. I also ordered the 580cc CF Bottle to reduce weight and increase shot count: https://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/FX_580cc_Carbon_Fiber_Bottle_w_Valve/9077. You can also add the 480cc CF Bottle to reduce weight a couple more ounces: https://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/FX_480cc_Carbon_Fiber_Bottle_w_Valve/7572

I just linked to PA since it was easier to find and link the parts there. I actually ordered my Dream-Tact and 580cc CF tank from Trenier Outdoors. But they are also available through Utah Airguns and AOA.

If you are comfortable with it, you can purchase 300 bar rated, 500cc bottles from AliExpress for about $120. Of course you'd still only fill them to the recommended 250 bar.

Thanks!!!! Just ordered from PA

Do those contain the valve? I suppose if they don't they would still work, you just would't be able to remove them under pressure, right?

Question, this looks like the same bottle adaptor as on my Dream-Tac now. Is the one in your link different (offset to accept bottle diameter as compared to the standard aluminum air tank?) I have been told that the new Dream-Tac will not accept a bottle, is the question about the bottle adaptor.



Thanks

No you'd need the valve regardless. The bottles dont come with the right threads for the gun.

I'm under the impression the bottle adapter is the same. I ordered my Dream-Tact with aluminum bottle and also ordered the larger 580cc CF bottle with it. I was told it will work. To be clear, I ordered the full sized Dream-Tact, not the Compact. From what I have researched, the Compact has a larger shroud, it's essentially the same 380mm barrel/shroud that comes on the Crown Continuum, where the regular Dream-Tact has the standard Dreamline 500mm barrel. The shroud is a smaller diameter on the regular Dream-Tact, which is why the standard 480cc and 580cc CF bottle will fit it but won't fit the Compact Dream-Tact.

What is the bottle you are using? I would like to replace the tube cylinder on my compact. Thanks

For the compact, you would need this cylinder in the 220cc size and the FX valve: https://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shop/airgun-charging-equipment/cylinder-accessories/airgun-charging-cylinders/carbon-fibre-300-bar/220cc-300cc-500cc-300bar-carbon-fibre-buddy-bottles-bare-no-valve/

Many thanks for the info!

 

[JeffDruek]

DO you happen to have a link to the valve? I could not locate. Thanks 

 

[FLgunner]

That I don't, you may have to contact Trenier, Utah AG, AOA or another FX vendor. It doesn't look like PA carries them.

 

[JeffDruek]

I just found the bottle and valve combo. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!

Do you have a link? I'd like to save it just in case I decide to get a compact. Thanks...

Awesome! Thank you!

I just got my Best Fittings CF 300cc tank. Got in one day from the UK to the states! I was amazed. It fits perfectly and yes, the FX valve allows you to remove bottle charged. As to shot count, I have the .25CAL Compact and with the stock 170cc Aluminum bottle filled to 230 bar I got about 13 -15 shots before she fell off the regulator at 150 bar. I now get around 30-32 per fill of the 300cc bottle. Thats also shooting an average of 845 FPS. Hope this information is useful. Again, the link to the bottle is below.

Before and After....

 

[FLgunner]

That's awesome! You are making wish I had ordered a Compact instead of the Regular Dream-Tac! I'm also truly amazed at how the Brits can get a package across the Atlantic and delivered in a day and it's taking PA 3 weeks to get an order out! LOL! Tough bunch, those Brits!
