    S200 Robert Lane Cylinder Gauge

    Can anyone advise how easy it is to retrofit a Robert Lane cylinder gauge to an S200 and if there is a cheaper alternative, although for sixty five pounds its seems reasonable.

    Also what liquid do you use for checking leaks on an air cylinder?

    Thank you in advance.

    Regards

    Dunno about the gauge but you usually can't go wrong with Lane stuff. Liquid?...just water is fine, if the action is removed from the stock it's no problem to dry the bits of the rifle you submerge and leave in an airing cupboard or whatever for a short while to make sure .

    Screw It off screw it on. easy. checking leaks. washing up liquid in water. used to be on the gas. no bubbles no leak.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

    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.
