Air Venturi Tank with Adapter Reviews

Didn't need any adjustments to get it to shoot ok. Shot count crazy good and improved accuracy even better than with CO2 cartridges.

The foster fitting had to be removed to install the cannister into the Hammerli M850 rifle. I would have liked to have not needed to cut the stock on the rifle to get the whole setup to fit but I didn't want to fiddle around with other adapters to make it so no stock cutting was needed.. You will have to make a decision on whether to cut the stock or get a different adapter to make it work for a clean installation.

There are other PCP cannisters out there that you may want to consider that may work better and look better than this cannister such as the Ninja bottles so do a little homework on dimensions you will need to make for a clean installation on your rifles. Otherwise the cannister and adapter work good and regulated to 1100 psi on shots which is an improvement over CO2 cartridges and NOT temperature temperamental when using PCP. I used a compressor and filled the cannister to approx. 2700 psi and it shot very well.

Combined with an aftermarket drop block and valve nose, provides a quick-n-EZ conversion to PCP for Crosman 2300 and similar CO2 guns. Beaucoup benefits: 1. Increased pressure over CO2 2. Eliminate CO2 temperature variability 3. It's regulated 4. the pressurized gun tube now acts as a plenum for even more shot consistency

Get rid of, or at least minimize, all the BS verbiage for improved appearance. (Of course, the lawyers won't let that happen, and we're warned not to use mechanical or chemical means to remove it, so we'll just have to live with it)

It's okay to loosen the the two bright hex screws (2mm) in the bonnet to "clock" the bottle for the best filler/gauge alignment.

product came defective fill gage does not work. No replacement parts available from air venturi.

vendors

Very difficult since manufactures has no parts wanted me to send it in for repair but parts are not available. Disposed of the product.

I put this bottle on my Umarex fusion I have shot 500 pellets with it and it has worked fantastic

I would not change any thing

The conversion works great. I put it on a Sig MPX so I would not have to keep buying c02. I am getting 300 shots from 3000psi down to about 1000-900. The bottle is better than the c02 because you pretty much get consistent air pressure over your whole shot string, unlike c02 where it starts dropping off after every shot. And the bottle is not effected by temperature like c02. Just better all the way around. I just plink cans and reactive targets in my backyard so it is perfect for that. I have a Umarex Ready Air compressor so filling it is no problem, now my Virtus has a little brother LOL

Nothing really it does what it is supposed to do.

It makes the gun just a little bit longer by maybe an inch or two, not very noticeable but some people may not like it. Be sure to fill it up and let it sit overnight before installing it to make sure you have no leaks. I had a leak and had to send it back for a replacement. A little while after that I had a fill nipple leak and I called Air Venturi and they sent me a new nipple free of charge because I was in the 60 day window. Great customer service from PA and first time dealing with AV they were great too. I posted a picture of it you can see what it looks like. I added a DonnyFL Sumo moderator on it and it made it very quiet.

This tank lasts longer than the co2 cartridge does but doesn't seem to have as much pressure as a new cartridge does.

Boost the pressure, make it shorter. This bottle adds at least 2-1/2 inches to the overall length and makes it difficult for some shorter armed individuals to to use comfortably. I would say make it shorter and increase the diameter.

The adapter was a pain to attach to the bottle, it seemed like it was the wrong thread size or the treads themselves were not cut deep enough. I had to use a wrench to get it tight enough to allow the air flow out of the bottle. What a pain.

Nice build. And regular is modifiable.

Provide a few washers, for adjusting the regulator if needed.

For the Sig MCX the pressure was to high (1100 ) and may have caused a seal issue. Lowering the pressure to 900 is alot safer and better.

The tank it's self is Great! Holds air fine.

The adapter is the worst piece of machining I've ever seen. The threads are terrible. The first tank and adapter I worked on a little bit at a time backing it off each time until it should have been far enough to open the valve on the tank because it wouldn't go any further. Aired the tank up but still no air through the adapter. Then when I tried to remove the adapter it wouldn't budge. I contacted PA to return it. I didn't get a response. I ordered another tank and adapter and ran into the same issues with the threads on the adapter. I didn't try to work this one on. I ordered a different make adapter and what a nice piece of machining! Screwed right on and "I got air" the next day I carefully cut the jambed adapter off the first tank not to damage the threads and now I have 2 good tanks. The other adapter has three ports for the air to go through not just one like on these air Venturi ones. Two days after going through all this, PA finally sent me a RMA. Almost 2weeks later.

Buy the Air Venturi tanks but stay away from their adapters .... they are terrible!

Works like it is suppose to and looks great

Don,t need to change anything

It is great not having to depend on Acadmey for co2. They were either always out or didn,t have time to do it.

the adapter makes this conversion idiot proof. I am the proof. took me 10 minutes to convert me hammerli 850 from co2 to hpa with this set up.

make the adapter longer so i would not have to cut the stock to fit it.

for the hammerli 850 magnum you would need to cut the stock to use this. make real sure you are cool with that because your warrenty will be voided. however, anyone tinkering like this probably has no trouble with working on their gun. results are about 15 FPE consistent at muzzle. 18.1 g jsb at 612 fps. i love it, turns this gun into a deadly short range rifle that is consistant with other pcps because bottle is regulated.

Bottle size, regulated pressure

none

perfect for replacing 88g co2, not much modification required. Work great for my Drozd
