Umarex Umarex zelos bottle?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
From Florida, bought Snowpeak M60B .35 from Krale (Netherlands) for $605 in March. Wes, at airgunarcheryfun (Canada) sells M60Bs, to US residents, as well, but doesn't carry .35. Price comparison shows Wes is slightly cheaper, Krale model has 500cc aluminium bottle think Wes offers smaller bottle. WM

Wes does not have any conversion adapters right now, they also run almost $90 when they do arrive, plus you will need a bottle as well.

Im working on having an adapter made that does not have the quick disconnect feature that will make it much cheaper to make. All you need to convert the Zelos to a bottle is the adapter and bottle.

Hi! I have the bottle vavles coming in a few days for those that pre-ordered. I am already sold out with pre-orders but have another 100 coming so I'll put those up for pre-order soon. I wanted to make an important note for everyone wanting to convert their Zelos to a bottle. The gun is rated for 250bar. I think some guys have thought that since they are putting a 300bar bottle on they can then fill their gun to 300 bar, but remember this gun is designed so the regulator is inside the gun not the bottle and that front end is not designed to fill to 300 bar. The front end of the gun is receiving the full pressure of the bottle and it is not thick enough aluminum to handle that pressure. If you want to have a 300 bar fill then buy an external bottle regulator from Huma or Altaros and then you will have a 2 regulator setup and it will put less stress on the front end of the rifle plus give you better consistency of shots. You can buy an external regulator from them here: https://huma-air.com/artemis-m16a-tuning-regulator/ and here: https://www.altaros.cz/domu/79-3025...-required_energy_with_regulator-75j_55_ft_lbs
Thanks,
Wes

So if the bottle reg was to fail at 300bar can the receiver body posibly fail ? or is it the adapter that is the weak link.
The Max 1 slug model does claims 300bar fill- Would that model have a thicker receiver ?
thanks-S.

Trying to find the umarex zelos bottle version but nothing came up. I know the zelos is a copy of the snowpeak 60b. But I live in US and they do not sell the snowpeak guns. Trying to find the zelos bottle version but only see the tube version. Does umarex not make an bottle version or what? Do I have to buy aftermarket parts to convert it?
