Kral Jumbo Hicap bottle change

[Pop Larkin]

Hi all
I have just got a Kral Jumbo Hicap in .22
It's come with 2 bottles
How do I change them over?
Do they both have to be de-pressurised when removing and installing?
If they do I don't really see the point as if you have an empty on the rifle you may as well fill that bottle
As wasting time filling time changing one over and filling that one on the rifle

You can just unscrew them same as FX bottle. They have a bronze valve to seal the bottle to stop air loss.

Thanks for that, so if anticipating going on a long trip I can fill one bottle on the rifle, remove it, put the empty one on and charge that one

Yes that is the idea! The only thing is if you can't fit a Lanes regulator to the Hi Cap because of the Valving.

Thanks for your help mate.
Tbh I'm not that bothered about a regulator, this is my first pcp and I swapped it for my .308 kit
It's in like new condition
Just need to get a dive bottle for it.
I'm getting out of FAC and have a sec 1 12g I Baretta i want to shift
See if anyone wants to swap that lol

Unscrew the bottle until the valve shuts, fire off the action to release pressure, then unscrew the bottle.
Bottle may need only one turn or could be four turns.
My S10 is about three turns.

Removing the bottle this way saves your bottle seals from damage.
