    Cylinder removal on AA S4*0 series????

    How difficult? I want to put a Classic air cylinder on my S400K. With the shrouds on the U.S models the barrels of the Carbines are long enough to handle the Classic tube and still mount the barrel support. Is all I need a strap wrench and to remember righty tighty, lefty losey??? Tips, tricks?

    Here's a simple question, is there an easier safe way to dump the air or do you have to pull the trigger 70 times?

    A lad I know has made a gadget that goes on the quick fill, screw it in and it pushes the doingsy thing in, letting the air out.

    Other than that I think it's a case of firing it till it discharges the last of the air.

    Yup, just keep firing it until it goes "HISSS".

    There's nothing you really need to be aware of (the bloke from the US).

    Be advised, you may want to loosen the action block a little, to give the cylinder room to turn past it.

    The action can scratch the blueing on the tube otherwise. It should be hand tight, so you shouldn't need to put anything in a vice. Just put the action between your legs and twist your tube ( )
