Crosman 2300-QB78 Bulk Fill Using Same Adaptor ?
« on: January 19, 2007, 06:20:49 AM »




I have a QB78 and will be receiving a Crosman custom 2300 next week. I would like to bulk fill both of them from a c02 paint ball tank and was wondering if I could use the same adaptor on the tank to fill both of them or would I have to use two different tanks with different adaptors on each one to fill them ?

I'm new to all of this and don't know a thing about bulk filling or what all I would need to do it with, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Bill

Nope, I believe you can use the same 1/8" fill nipple to fill either from the same tank, you just have to have that same nipple on both guns.  The QB-78 is easy to bulk, the valve has an o-ring already.  The 2300 has a different type of valve that seals against the neck of the CO2 powerlet itself, you will have to modify or buy a valve with a o-ring, OR buy a "powerlet replacer".  Check out Byron and Associates:

I have never dealt with B&A myself, but I always hear decent things about them on the Crosman forum.  Most people say to call and they will set you up with everything you need.

These two articles on the Crosman forum explain a couple different ways to bulk a 22XX gun:

Good luck!

Dan, thanks for the information. I don't know a thing about the different bulk fill systems or the valves, I don't really understand how a valve works in a c02 gun or what it does. I have a lathe and milling machine and could do any mods to the valve, gun that would be required to convert it to bulk fill, I just don't know what needs to be done.

Thanks Bill
