    Adaptor for Feinwerkbau mod2 CO2 to sodastream cylinder

    The two cylinders with my FWB were charged with a brass adapter which fitted between the empty cylinder and a Soda-stream CO2 cylinder. Unfortunately, Soda-stream have fitted a new very coarse thread to their later cylinders which cannot be used with the adapter. Does anyone have knowledge of an adapter to either fit the new Soda-stream or one to fit a fire extinguisher. The adapter needs to have a pin to depress the empty cylinder valve during filling.
    Any alternative methods of charging the pistol cylinders would be appreciated.
    Thank you for any help.

    this man http://www.magic9designltd.com/home made the adapters for my fwb c10
    this adapter is to fill a soda stream bottle from a big co2 cylinder

    this one needs no explanation

    the adapter on the right has a pin (not in photo) to allow liquid co2 from the soda stream bottle to the pistol cylinder

    the big co2 cylinder to soda stream needs no pin as the pressure of the big warm cylinder is grater than the pistols cold cylinder (the cylinder been filled has to colder than the one doing the refilling)
    the soda stream adapter in the photos are for the old soda stream bottles but nick said he made one up with the new soda stream thread

    I get full fire extinguishers for £10 and have two years supply of gas from it. Easy to fill cylinder of FWB with one push of the lever.Would not bother with soda stream.

    Thanks for your reply.
    1 Does the brass adapter have a pin to depress the valve in the FWB cylinder?
    2 Any idea where I can get the adapter?

    you might be content with carrying a fire extinguisher around with you at your club to fill up once maybe twice, but i found the soda stream bottle is perfect for 4-5 fills and it fits in my shooting bag
    i fill the soda stream bottles my self with an adapter from a pub co2 bottle (unfortunately due to it been a gas take off bottle (does not have a liquid take off tube that goes to the bottom of the bottle) i have to turn the big bottle upside down to get liquid co2

    edit
    however if i find a co2 extinguisher thats small enough to fit in my shooting bag, things might change

    Never taken a fire extinguisher out with me anywhere. With two cylinders for the FWB Model 2 you would be at the range for hours to empty them. Very simple filling and I have 6 years of gas in the garage and a backup stock of 100 years locally with out of date extinguishers. As I am 68 I dont think I will get through all the gas. The adaptor is also very simple, comes with the original pistol, screw them together, press the lever, done.

    the OP said he has the original adapter but it does not fit the soda stream bottle he wants to use

    If the adaptor he has is like the one pictured below it fits straight on to a standard extinguisher thread. These are supplied with the pistol, it does not need any pin to push the cylinder valve in.

    Best Fittings list a FWB fill adapter at £30.
