CO2 Problem solved

Thanks to everyone that responded to my posts last night. I think the issue was a combination of the loose tophat and a near empty CO2 bottle. The O-ring on the CO2 bottle had a very very small nick in it and I had stored the bottle with the AF adapter attached and I believe the flawed O-ring allowed the tank to leak off very slowly over the last month through the pressure relief hole in the AF CO2 adapter. Dick’s replaced the O-ring and refilled the CO2 bottle for free and now it is working fine again.

Another positive was while I was in the store I saw a camo neoprene scope cover for 8 bucks that after trimming fit nicely over my 12oz CO2 bottle. Now I have a camo neoprene bottle cover for my SS 🙂
