Carbon Fiber Conversion (airforce vs daystate)
Just looking for opinions here. I ordered the talon tunes carbon fiber conversion tank, for my daystate airwolf, but I was thinking it may be better off going on my Texan? Which gun would be the better improvement? Daystate would lose more capacity and wouldn’t be able to take advantage of the higher fill. Heck, the Daystate tank says 375 bar max on it already which is more than the CF. The Texan on the other hand would be losing less capacity and would possibly be able to use the higher fill.
The weight reduction from the tank would be great on either, though I think the daystate is much heavier than the Texan.
Any opinions?

Agree with Drumie fully.
I have 3 of Tony’s tanks. Two on Air Wolf’s and one on a BSA R10. I did mount on briefly on a Talon and while it did reduce weight, it wasnt near as drastic as on the Air Wolf.
My Wolf in .22 gives me 250+ shots on a fill on low power (26fpe)… Even with the slightly less volume and fill pressure, I’m still getting upwards of 200 shots on a fill on low power. I’ll take that for the weight reduction. My other Wolf is a .177 non FAC and who knows how many shots on a fill on that. A lot.
A remote line when shooting targets is fine, but completely unrealistic when you are out in the woods hunting in the dark. I don’t bother with anything over 250gn on the Texan anymore, because it tends to destroy the pelts. 150 gn in the spinal Colum- just behind the skull, at 100 yards seems to do the trick.
I always wanted a bigger tank for my Texan to get more than 3 heavy shots with 405 grain bullets. I just connect a remote line to my carbon fiber tanks now.
You will notice the weight difference much more on the Daystate than the Airforce. I have them on both my Daystate air Wolf and my Airforce condor. You notice it a little bit on the Condor. But it is night and day on the Daystate. I won’t own a Daystate bottle gun without the carbon fiber bottle now. I can’t tell you what you will loose with the lower fill pressure as I got the Daystate CF bottle and it can be filled to the same psi as the metal one.

Looks like the wolf is the winner then, thanks for the advice!
