I'm looking for a buddy bottle about .5 litre to maybe 1 litre size. Don't mind if aluminium or carbon wrapped, etc.

Just for a top up now and then at the range when pellet testing (at present I lug along my Hill Evo-310 and it's a heavy wee bugger).

Would look at a bigger tank for the right price too.

Otherwise I have to go shopping at Ali.

Thanks.

I could only find this one at AliExpress. Might pay to get it tested thoroughly if you get it though.
I just found this on AliExpress down from $95 to $65.70

Thanks for that but the valve system is no good for me. It only outputs 2000psi.

So I'd need to factor in a better valve setup.

But otherwise, yes...for that price I could just buy 2 of those for a total of 1 litre which would give me about 2 or 3 top ups.

The dive shop near me sells these. But no valve. They are 300bar. No idea what it would cost to get it going but it’s 3 litres so getting lighter.

If anyone is after standard dive tank valves i have 2, maybe 3 dive tank valves with tanks written off after 45 years of use due to the U.S. deciding a tiny tiny proportion of them were unsafe - the Luxfer problem.

Anyway, I think the valves should be easily removed if anyone wants one...
