    One you can remove the bottle from without draining all of the air.

    I believe HW100 Tuning started to make a batch of V block copies.

    I've got the Best fittings version on mine with the brass extension that means the stock doesn't need cutting/drilling & the std bottle screws in to it.

    The Dr Bob version replaces the existing bottle valve, but if you need to change an O ring or adjust the reg, the bottle has to be vented before it can be removed.

    There's also a RAW version but I'm not 100% sure they use the same threads, as they used to do a different QF for Theobens before they were bought out by Airforce.

    I had KevG fit a Dr bob q/fill and gauge on mine, I did the hole underneath stock. If you do go ahead, make sure you get the right one for the bottle your using. Atb Mick.

    yes two different thread sizes for 400cc and 280cc.

    I actually prefered the hole drilled underneath (with Dr Bob's) as it all looks neater to me, but I completely understand if you have a very nice stock, something that doesn't involve any drilling or cutting makes sense.

    I was running a FF so the brass extension also increased the volume like a prechamber.
    If I get the rifle running on a reg I'll get rid of it & drill the stock because it is pig ugly.

    I would go for a Dr Bob quick fill. I tried a Best Fittings one on a Mk1 I had but it moved the bottle about 50mm forward which changed the balance of the gun completely.

    I liked the RAW version, get the 90degree and mod stock either side at top far better than a hole in the bottom
