Q:

Does this exist?

A screw in for AF Talon that puts a pressure gauge between the bottle and the breech?

I guess I could use a straight Etac, but wondered if something not quite as long is available. I don’t remember seeing anything like that on the forum.

I didn’t know Jim made a short Etac, but I know not to underestimate him. I’ll take a look.

Okay here is another one i did to be able to use the Regulator & fill the tank, also added a pressure gauge. I have to the remove the older quick fill.

Hoot,

It looks like you just need a short canted ETAC to me, unless removing the tank from the gun is a must.

I don’t have a gauge on mine anymore, it was a trade off, the gauge was not even close, and without it I could alter my frame enough to unscrew the bottle. I just plugged the hole with a 1/8 inch NPI plug.

Prior to that, I loosened two set screws I put in the inside of the frame to hold the bottle collar, and removed the collar and bottle at the same time. I found that far handier than removing the grip and trigger assembly to remove the collar, it also allowed me to time the ETAC to the frame better.

Why use steel & add to the weight when aluminuim 7075 is much lighter & very strong !?

Hmmm.

I think asking the guy that fabs the etacs would be a good idea.

I heard you were good looking, but I didn’t know you were talented as well!

I’m going to see if I can find a gauge and perhaps get back to you with the thread type.

Hoot 😯

Yes Hoot I did make it myself. I sent it to a guy to try, and the next thing I new, he was selling his gun with it still attached, so I never got paid for it and never got any feed-back from him. If I was o make thiese in the future I would use hex steel bar, the same stuff Blodnob and Baznob valves are made from, which is Bright drawn mild steel [ BDMS ] which I would black using the hot chemical blacking process, which I use on mine and Blodnobs valves.

Hoot You need this i put this on the old forum six years ago

I’ll find one…..

Hoot

all the ones i build have a pressure gauge an a fill nip between the bottle an the gun . i hate not knowing what pressures in it an taking stuff apart to fill .
but im not sure ive see anything for a regular bottle , wouldnt be hard to make.
