CP2 with external PCP tank

To make this modification, you need 4 parts:

1. PCP adapter
2. hose
3. air pressure regulator with adapter or valve
4. PCP bottle

PCP adapter

You need an adapter which makes possible to connect HP hose with 8mm quick connect to air rifle.

You can buy one in my shop. You screw it instead of CO2 12g cartridge and CO2 cartridge push screw.

HP hose with 8mm quick connect fitting

You need hose to connect air rifle adapter with PCP tank. At first, I bought less flexible hose with straight ends ... it works, but it was not nice to use.

Less flexible hose with straight ends (I bought "Straight 52inch")

I decided to buy a second hose, more flexible with an angled end. This is much better choice then previous one. Ignore "T" connector and bleed valve for a moment - it is nice to have, but it is optional.

More flexible hose with one angled end (I bought "40 Inch-100CM")

Bleeding valve for PCP hose (optional)

It is nice to equip PCP hose with a bleeding valve. You can safely discharge the hose and disconnect it. Without a bleeding valve, you need to dry fire air rifle, to drop pressure inside the hose.

Compressed air power source

At the end you need a source of compressed air. So you need a HP bottle, a pressure regulator and an adapter with quick connector.

PCP tank

I found this one, looks like nice quality bottle. Working pressure is 300 bar (4350 psi). I pump it to 4000 psi max with my hand pump. With 0,25 liter bottle charged to 4000 psi I can make 100-120 shots with power around 14 J. I have two tanks, one with capacity 0,25 liter and second one 0,5 liter, both are from the same shop.

Tank with capacity 0,5 liter (item: "0.5L Aluminum Tank").

Pressure regulator (ADJUSTABLE REGULATOR)

Recently, I purchased a fixed pressure regulator, and I believe it is a better solution for supplying a PCP air rifle. I made a comparison in a separate topic >HERE<.

This one is more expensive than a regulator with constant pressure but gives you the ability to adjust the output pressure using the hex key. You can also set "0 psi" pressure which is equal to closed valve - then you can disconnect hose from tank without need of emptying the tank. You can also buy more accurate pressure gauge, for example 0 to 1500 or 2000 psi. Remember to add some oil to adjuster screw housing, it works much smother and easier.

Pressure gauge (optional). You need one with an M10x1 or 1/8 NPT thread. A maximum pressure rating of 1500–2000 psi is recommended. Unscrew the gauge and check the thread type. The last time I bought a second regulator, I discovered that the manufacturer had changed the gauge thread from M10x1 to 1/8 NPT.

Pressure regulator (FIXED PRESSURE REGULATOR)

Recently, I purchased a fixed pressure regulator, and I believe it is a better solution for supplying a PCP air rifle. I made a comparison in a separate topic >HERE<.

You need to purchase a regulator set to the desired pressure. This regulator features a pressure shut-off pin, allowing it to be unscrewed from the air rifle or enabling the regulator equipped bottle to be replaced in the field.

Fixed pressure regulator. You need one with M18x1,5 thread to fit PCP tank.

Adapter or ON/OFF valve

At the end you need a simple quick connect adapter or valve installed at the output thread of the pressure regulator.

On/off valve. You can choce one with additional pressure gauge and vent valve - so you don't need extra vent valve on the hose.
