For my Mk3 S200; are there any extended cylinders available with a quickfill and a gauge?

I bought the longer "hunter" cylinder direct from CZ In the Czech Republic, they have a website , I will try and find a link for you, the one I bought came with a gauge but no quick fill, but you can buy the gauge/quick fill from elsewhere as an extra.

Here's the link to the hunter cylinder on their e-shop, it's £105 euros, and mine only took about 3days to arrive!

I will second that, you will need to buy the special tool from xtx air.

I have a bent and battered gauge if anybody wants one!!

I bought the quick fill from Altaros and the extended cylinder from CZ but neither myself or a Gunsmith could move the gauge from it.
It's as though CZ fitted it with an industrial strength super glue. :twisted:

Stoohundred,
can i ask if the longer cylinder interferes with any moderator on the rifle, do they all co exist nicely , and did you find it changed the guns handling any ?

cheers

I was still able to use a standard AA moderator however it was a bit awkward removing the filler cap (I have the plastic type with flat sections on the end) it would just touch the mod as it unscrewed however as it was plastic it wasn't an issue.
I was still able to fill it without a problem too but had to be careful not to scratch the moderator.

A custom filler cap that was round (without flat sections) would probably solve the issue.

As I'm only using my guns for FT and HFT I now don't use a moderator as I don't really hunt at all.

It didn't seem to effect the balance or the feel of the gun in any way.

A smaller moderator would fit easily , ir one with a screw adaptor would probably fit too as well as most air strippers/muzzle ends.

Thanks for the reply
If i do go down that road, ithink i will leave the gauge in place and fill the cylinder from the rear, a pain i know as i will have have to remove any mod.
different fill adapter needed also, think cz do this as well ?
