Daystate airwolf bottle change

[Ciaran07]

I was chatting with my dad earlier and he was thinking about possibly making few custom changes to his Daystate airwolf cdt
Maybe shorting the shrouded barrel
Fitting a 280cc bottle if possible
And new custom stock made
Has anyone made any changes like this before is it even possible
Thanks for reading and hopefully your comments

Yes its possible but has consequences, shortening the barrel itself would lower the power so would then need to be reprogrammed, however the shroud can be shortened without a problem.

The bottle can be changed to anything with the correct thread but you will obviously have a reduced shot count.

Custom stocks are possible but designs are limited due to the electronics housed in the current stock, would be interesting to see what can be done

Was thinking more along the lines of shroud shorting rather than barrel because accuracy is perfect
The shot count doesn't matter will still be a huge count
Is the bottle thread the same as a Theoben rapid 280cc bottle obviously without the valve
Deeper stock for the electronics doesn't matter it's more the length of reach for trigger and adjustable comb and butt pad was just wondering if anyone had made similar changes

Looks very nice indeed I wonder what a 280 bottle looks like with original stock the Theoben mk11 rapid looks fine with smaller bottle instead of a 400

As far as I know they are the same thread without the valve as you say.

Pretty positive the internal threads are different on the 280 and 400 bottles.

As Harry states there's a massive diffrence in size between 280 cc bottles and the larger 400 / 500 cc you would have to have a step down adapter made not a easy task I'd imagine a very problematic are for leaks
