    WTB cheap 7oz CO2 tanks and on/off CO2 tank valves

    EDIT: Tanks found! on/off CO2 tank valves found! more Ammo Boxes found! Just need some more of the stock pull through squeegees).

    Hi all, I am looking to pick up some tanks to complete the setups for the 6 Tipman SL-68 II’s that I won in autococker04’s Walzmas giveaway (plus two more I got from Killerito).

    I have them all cleaned and serviced, have sourced a pile of Ammo Box cheese wedge loaders (although I could always use a couple more)...and just need tanks to be able to take them to the field to try convince some people to give it a try (I am usually the only pump).

    I prefer 7oz for the size/weight, and also my local field and pro shop will fill them usually without hassle because of the 2” diameter, but usually balk at larger old tanks.

    Standard pin valves are fine, but I would eventually source enough on/off tank Valves for all. I prefer the quarter turn Smart Parts valves, but kind any are appreciated.

    Do I get an award for longest WTB post? LOL.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'll have to dig around in the shed of doom, but I have enough valves for you... somewhere.

        A Member hooked me up with a full set of tanks. Now just need a bunch of on/off CO2 tank valves.

          I have some old Zapp cheese wedge loaders. They're even the skinny neck style that will fit those SL-68s without an adapter. PM'd

              FYI, many (most) of the On/off co2 valves don't work on the SL-68 IIs. The on/off knobs usually hit the grip frame and don't allow the tank to be screwed in all the way to seal. Just a heads up. BTW, I have on/off valves, but not the SP quarter turn ones.

                Oh man, an SP CO2 on/off valve would be nice.

              I believe that I have some hopper adapters to use standard hoppers on the SLs. I used to have 3, two plastic one metal.
              Let me know of you're interested and I'll did them up.

                Thanks Dale for the heads up. Yeah, that is a pain.
                Luckily, All of these have the bottom “lip” on the Lower grip cut off, so the SP valves work ok. Also allows my First Stike (myth) HPA reg gauge to clear also.

                It looks like Coyote has got me covered on valves. Thanks!

                  Thanks, I have rounded up enough cheese wedges with the narrow bottom to work specifically with these.
