Call Joe Brancato, look him up over on the Yellow, good guy and he is Hunnington Bch, close by. I got my adapter in 2 days.
My CF tank has a DIN valve, so my adapter turns the din to a what you have.
My place o fill hook up for 4500 is what I had to adapt to.
Guys, learn from my mistake, if your gonna get a CF tank, go to the fill house and find out what their set up is before you buy one.
I would say more places would have the CGA set up as for that’s what the firemen use I believe.

If you’re going to fill at a place that does paintball, get the foster male-to-male and be done cheaply. Scuba shop is not likely to have fitting for the male foster.
in the picture it is the mac1 male to male foster:
I use it with the mac1 fill adaptor.

That is a scba tank or cga-347 (4500 psi)
the adaptor that airtight_python posted is only rated to fill your tank to 3000 psi. (I think)
If you already have a fill adaptor to fill your gun from this tank, you may want to look at a Male to male foster fitting.
so you can fill your tank using a paint ball type male foster fitting that most places have a connector to fit.

I asked Joe B. about this. He said they were rated to 3500 or 4000 (dont remember). But he also said, worst case scenario is the o-ring would just leak.

thank you AP thats what i need, hey saw if you want to sell your adapter i can buy it from you let me know if does it look like this,
do you want to sell the adapter ? how is it, sport chalet can fill my tank to 4500 but they don’t have the fitting let me know
Dive n Surf up here in So Cal would have no prob. with that, also check fire extinguisher places.
That there vhag is what I wished I would have got from the get go.
I had to buy an adapter from JB, cost me $90.00.
D&S can fill without it but only to 3200.
