I have purchased the American made drop block from ebay, hopefully avoiding the "clocking" issues with the other blocks being used. If not, l have a lathe and mill to correct said issues. I also ordered a regulator and aluminum 13ci tank from China. Does anyone have a confirmed weight difference between a 13ci aluminum and a 13ci carbon fiber wrapped tank? Just wondering if we are talking a very large difference. Thanks, Don

Thanks, my regulator is m18x1.5 threads. I looked at those bottles. Very nice but seem to cater to paint ball on their regulators.

Small mass difference on the small tanks, it becomes much more pronounced as the internal volume increases.
Alsafe cf bottles I buy are rated at 4500psi, I've yet to see an aluminum bottle rated over 3000psi.
Is that normal?

I have a Luxfer bottle rated at 4500 PSI on my EB XVI
It all aluminium and NOT fiber wrapped.
Sorry. The bottle is rated 250 bar fill. Testing is rate way above that.
So it's good for 3625 PSI

I bought one of those qupb Z block valves or whatever its called off Aliexpress and it was clocked fine for my Notos. I'm still trying to decide whether I like this setup or not. I lost 25 fps but gained 10 shots. My bottle is aluminum so only fill to 3000psi.

Just an FYI. All hpa air bottles are aluminum. The carbon fiber bottles are aluminum, rapped with carbon fiber. Granted the wrapped bottles are thinner than a complete aluminum bottle. Don
