AirForce protective steel valve cap Reviews

I bought this item not knowing what it was but it serves a purpose protecting the threads of the tank when you remove the tank from the firearm.

I would like to put a carbon fiber tank on my big bore. This cap would receive allot of use.

Some things you buy because you don't know what the future will bring.

Its made of metal. Protect your valve on your tank in storage and while transporting.

Cheaper

Good product to airforce tanks

fits perfect. does the job its designed to do.

aluminum would be nice. less chance of rust problem.

great protection for you're air tank valve.

Good quality protective cap.

Nothing.

No.

Well made from steel.

nothing

Built to withstand any abuse.

Seems to have a light layer of rust. But a rust remover such as ballistol takes it off.

You should protect the valve in the takedown air force style ag's or when a spinloc is removed for later attachment. (Or for extra tanks).

Just what I needed for my spare tank safety is a must for PCP, No dropping on the valve and having a steel high pressure missile on your hands

Should come with Gun/Tank

Simple and sturdy.

Nothing.

This thing is indispensable for de-pressuring an AirForce bottle. Drop two pennies in the cap and slowly screw onto the bottle valve and the air escapes.

VERY HEAVY DUTY!!!!-----I use these with my talon-p air tanks when packed in my backpack don't have to worry about damage to the valves.

Same ole same ole the( PRICE ) ?????. They are very proud of these LOL ?

Nothing----? these do a fine job as is. Work as designed.

Durable heavy duty protection.

Price should be reduced.

Every tank should have one of these protectors on it.

Nice and sturdy. Milled from solid steel.

Very heavy - could be milled thinner and weigh half as much and still protect 90% as well.

Ordered two and one of the two was delivered very rusted internally - literally full of rust and rust flakes/powder. If I had not checked the item and just screwed it on my tank, The loose rust may have seriously damaged my tank valve. Pyramyd sent a replacement right away when informed, but there should be better QA and inspection before items are sent.

Solid construction. Protects the expensive valve from dings, dirty, and more.

This should come standard with second and third bottles.

I use it for transport, in the field, and at the range when I have a second bottle handy but don't want the valve getting dirty or risk being damaged. In long term storage I don't use this as I want normal airflow around the valve assembly.

Appears to be a sturdy safety cap.

I hate the price but I bought two. Safety first! Then, what the traffic will bear doesn't make for real happy customers. IMO this item should be included with the original purchase and maybe an option for second tanks as long as you have one installed on the spare while not mounted to the air rifle.

I have yet to hear of a air rifle AIR or CO2 tank blowing out the valve but I prefer not to take a chance with either 3,000 psi Air or 1,800 psi CO2. I bought two caps and use them anytime my tanks are not mounted to the air rifle or being filled. I place my bets on safety first. Only cats and some batteries have 9 lives and I've found some of them untimely dead.

No better quality is possible. Would probably survive a .22 HV LR round hit without a dent.

Is such quality needed for a protective cap? I'd say no.

It is the same machining as the caps used in the AF scuba fill units and AF fill adapters. The one end was just machined smooth to make a cap rather than providing a fill hole/ adapter. That may be why they can sell it for $14 as it is just a variation on an existing product. Otherwise, it would certainly be a $40 item.

It offers good protection for the threads on the HP & CO2 tanks.

Check units before shipping, as both items had surface rust on the exterior, that was easily removed, but should not have been present.

I have been pleased with all my purchases of Air Force items, good quality.

Fit and finish is excelent .

I would make it out of a less expensive material..

It is way over kill is construction for a dust cap . And the price reflects it .
