TORRES VEDRAS
Hello guys,
I'm looking to buy a Panthera Compact.

It comes with the bottle on the front, under the barrel.
My idea is to buy the fx short arca rail for the panthera and change the bottle to the stock, like seen on the "regular" size pantheras. Making it like a stubby version of the panthera.

Does anyone knows if the threads are the same on both "holes", the front and the stock?
If I can just switch the positions of the bottle screw and the tapping plug? So the bottle goes on the back and the tapping plug on the front?

Thank you in advance for your help!

The black raised/rounded factory plug on the rear stock will thread and block off the front, but it isn’t flat or countersunk. Using this will prevent the compact rail from sitting flush and cannot be installed. You will need the bronze block off plug that is specific for the front.

Here is picture showing the rear black block off plug installed on the front. Notice how it doesn’t sit flat/flush. The (full) compact rail (w/barricade stop) could not be installed with this plug in place.

Let me clarify, if you want to use the FX compact rail, it comes with the barricade stop which is a separate piece from the compact rail itself. The rear block off plug as shown will prevent installation of the barricade stop or another compact rail such as the KL compact rail which is an integrated design.

I haven't "run it dry" yet... so to speak, but I went out the other day and had it charged to 250bar. I shot 2 magazines (32 pellets) and the pressure dropped to around 220. I'm running it at about 130 - 150 bar per shot (memory no longer "serves me well!). Doing the math I should be able to get close to 7 magazines with both tanks - 112 shots. Way more than I would shoot hunting unless I was in England shooting rats - where they have cornered the market!;)
I'll run it completely out next time for an actual count.

Wooow! The numbers are waaay above my expectations. I just got mine now and was thinking to do the same. Not that many rats here in the Netherlands tough :)) Thanks a lot for clearing thinks up for me! One more think, was playing around with the macro adjuster wheel and mine can’t seem to stay on number 13, it jumpes every time i try setting it on that power number, either to 12 or 14 - also the numbers feel slightly misaligned with the indicator. Is it normal or is it faulty - so I know I should return it. New panthera hunter ownere here. :D
