I just got a Pardini K60 and I'm not sure how to fill the cylinders. I have an adapter that screws into the cylinder and has a 1/2" NPT female that will screw onto a 16oz paintball CO2 bottle I just bought. I think the problem is that the adapter that came with the cun is made for a bulk fill where the tank has some kind of knob to open the gas flow. I think the paintball tank has a valve like a tire valve - so it never gets pushed. The paintball tank has a knob, but it looks like it just lets the gas out of the cylinder. So do I need a special refill tank, or is there an adapter for the paintball tank available somewhere?

btw - I have a tank coming from the same person I got the gun from, so I suspect I won't have a problem, but I won't be getting it for a while, and was hoping to shoot the new pistol soon...

Thanks - Jim

The adapter you received is for a regular Co2 tank - and not a paint-ball system.

You will have no problems and filling is very simple - from a regular tank.

I get over a years use from a single $14 fill (20# size tank).

Hi Jim, I think you can get a replacement valve for your 16oz co2 paintball
bottle from Tim McMurray at: http://www.mac1airgun.com/
he makes valves to fit the bottles and mills off the pin valve section.
Check out the site and give Mac-1 a phone call to describe your problem.
I have a Steyr LP-1 that I fill from a 16oz PB bottle. It has the pin valve
milled off, I bought the Steyr and CO2 fill accessories from a friend, who
is a consultant for Tim McMurray...Tim knows CO2 stuff. So definitely give
Tim a call, best of luck; Now I also will say that if you can, follow Bill177's
advice and get a regular CO2 tank, they come in 5#,10# and 20# sizes..
very much more economical;

Thanks guys - much appreciated. I have a tank coming but it is a few weeks out. I was hoping to get a small tank to get it going quicker. Apparently quicker is neither quicker or easier... :)

I was hoping the guy at the paintball shop could fill my gun cylinders directly but he told me I needed a male fitting (like the paintball tank) and my cylinder fitting is a female...

Thanks for the info...
