Emptying air from a Daystate buddy bottle

[airwolf1]

You will likely find you will not be able to unscrew the bottle and nor should you ever attempt to while the rifle is holding pressure, all Daystate bottles are designed to be fixed and do not have a valve in the end like theoben bottles etc. There is a proper bleed tool for clipping onto the foster fitting that will open the fill valve to empty the gun, that's the official method. If you have not got the correct tools then shoot it empty, dont be tempted by methods such as backing off the air gauge, dangerous as well as potentially giving the new owner an issue.

Is exactly the correct answer, It might take longer but it can avoid a can of worms being opened.

Thanks for all the replies chaps. The rifle is a wolverine B type. Don't know if the bottle is removable or not but it sounds like it may be easier to post via an rfd. I have seen people proposing to send with UPS, is this or any other carrier a legitimate option? Thanks Max

DO NOT remove the BB with air in it. Unlike Rapid there is no valve on the BB
as stated slacked the gauge until yo hear air just escaping, when the air stops hissing slacken a bit more, repeat until empty.
I have done this to 2 wolverines with out issue.
PS PF 48 only cover to value of £100, so make sure your buyer knows the risk. RFD transfer would be the best option

Thanks for the replies, Just done RFD transfer from my local gun shop Bamfords of Eccleston, very easy and a reasonable price, great service.
