Re: Propane - Is it still cost effective?
I cant see it gumming anything up - if I'm putting mags away for a while I normally use a drop or two of full blown very thick sillicone oil (the kind of stuff I use on an AEG piston) - its never gummed anything up

Re: Propane - Is it still cost effective?
Hi guys I've also gone down the refill of smal colmans bottls route!
Problem though I have a 13kg calor gas bottle and a MacCoupler of a auction site, but the small colmans bottles don't fit, as the big calor bottle gets in the way of it screwing on! How have you guys overcome this is there a simple extention piece you can pick up from local plumbers place?
Cheers

The easiest way to overcome that is to get hold of a calor cylinder that you can fit it to or buy a hose assembly (if you can find one that is suitable)

Re: Propane - Is it still cost effective?
Bugger, I would go for a different calor gas bottle however I just paid for one, however I do have 3 different sizes at work and none fit, must be my adapter
See a hose to me sounds a bit sketchy, ideally I'd like a solid extention it only needs to be about 25mm longer and it would fit! Grrrrr!
Cheers

That's weird as the Mac coupler is supposed to fit anything from 6kg up, I've used it myself on a 6kg cylinder with no problems.

Re: Propane - Is it still cost effective?
I have heard of other people having problems getting the Colemans cylinder to screw on due to clashing. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the size of the big bottle, it's more down to the design around the outlet. I am soon to buy a big bottle myself and need to find out which one is gonna fit. Failing that, I am going to go in with my adaptor and colemans bottle and offer it up to whatever they have.

Re: Propane - Is it still cost effective?
Cheers for the help people, what I done to get round this was 1st I baught a guage that tells you how much is left in the big propane bottle but that didn't work as when it got turned upside Down it blocked the presure to the colmans bottle.
So then I went to a gas supplier and got what looks like a brass pipe (L shape) male -female, which works a treat as when upside down the colmans bottle is the write way up so easy to access the realease valve and what not, and also makes sure that when screwing the colmans bottle on its not going to counter act the reverse thread of the adaptor!
If that maks any sence!
Cheers
