    Tube air reservoir for a Rapid.

    As title. I am a bit fed up with buddy bottles and would like to upgrade my on board air supply to a tube with a reasonable air capacity along with QF and pressure gauge. I use a mixture of regulated and fast flow valves on my Rapids (depending on power requirements) and as the combined QF/gauge/regulator solution is both expensive and involves cutting the stock I don't want to go down that route. Any recommendations?

    Hi Nick,
    Hope you are well. I don't know the answer but do recall Michael Tawn advertising a Rapid based specials in the mags for several years (the Tawnado?). IIRC it had a tube not a bottle, perhaps he may be able to help if he is still trading/working?
    Cheers

    There have been some very nice examples shown on here, TBH I thought at least one was yours HW100 tubes IIRC.

    Do the Impact tubes fit, the GSX 100 has the inbuilt QF

    You are possibly recalling the time when I actually sold a tube on here. The reason however is that it had nothing extra like QF and a gauge so didn't solve my current 'problem'.

    Hi Nick

    You'll need an adapter of course, but an AA cylinder with a Robert Lane QF and gauge fitted, or a HW..

    AM gunsmiths make stuff like this too
