filling mfr buddy bottle

[karlgixer]

i posted a tread a bit back asking about how to fill mfr buddy bottle,

i got a mixed reply some saying dry fire it and some saying no need to dry fire.

any way i have been down to ben taylors today to order my taylord mfr and while i was there i asked about filling and they said there is no need to dry fire just unscrew bottle and fill,

so i thought i would post and let all you mfr owners what they told me at ben taylors.

thanks for reading.

Thats funny here is what Ben Taylor himself posted on that thread,

The reason to dump all the air when changing the bottle is when the bottle side is still higher than the reulated side and you shoot the regulated side down it takes the pressure off the valve seat in the regulator,not a big deal but worth doing.
On Mk1 and 2 it takes the load off the bottle o ring and the regulator in the case of the MK2 .

If you study that quote, Ben is just referring to the Mk1 and mk2, not the MFR. Both Theoben and Ben Taylor say dry firing the MFR to dump air is not necessary.
