You can see the fittings I used in that pic, also in my thread. Just unscrew the head of the extinguisher and then JB weld the new fittings in. I had to use the fitting on the head because none others would fit the threads. Then I added a fill valve. I also added to mine a regulator and a ball valve, then a quick connect to connect it to my gun. You can get schrader valves with threads from a hardware store.

Ragnarok's Top Tips #372: If a store employee does not recognise the name "Schrader valve", try asking for a "car tyre valve" instead.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

I've said it like a billion times, Easton X7 eclipse arrow shaft size 1714 is the PERFECT non-commercial airsoft barrel. Please just go online and get some off an archery store, they're pretty cheap, and really long.
