S200 Robert Lane Cylinder Gauge

if you don't want to submerge it use a balloon or a condom......

That's alright unless there is more than one option in that particular area. For example use a balloon on the filling end of most Air Arms rifles and you still won't know if its the main end plug, filling valve thread or filling valve inlet, sticking the end in bowl of water will show you straight away.

I've used the XTX gauge with quick fill , no problem installing & also their external reg ,again easy to install and works well .
I also have an altaros one to fit but have not got round to it as yet.

XTX do a tool, £8.50, for getting those ends off. They can be bloody tight if they haven't been off before.Their fill valve is abt £70.

I had an Altaros combined quick fill and gauge on a 200 tube. Worked fine, but the anodised light alloy probe does look quite thin and vulnerable. There's not much wall thickness left after the groove for the O rings have been cut. If I had kept it (sold the rifle) I would have made a stainless steel filler probe.

Don't know about the S200 but the 400 ones are a doddle. Just unscrew the fill adaptor. Replace the O ring. Lightly use silicon grease. Put the other one back in its place and gently tighten.

Thanks everyone, I will get one and give it a go, fed up with second guessing how much air is left and blaming every poor shot on a lack of air.

Hope this catches you in time I brought one £65 it comes with adverts but no instructions but as said it's stright forward EXCEPT that dammed brass fitting for the original air in take valve is a right pig to get off I actually drilled right though it and had to put a bar through it still could not get it off at to take it to a air gun specialists who drilled it out on a lathe
Save your self some real grief buy at XTX one let Darren fit it wish I had p's if you get the £65 one Bewhere not to over tighten the dial as there is a copper ring o ring behind it and it splits thats why you get some spare in the packet
