lose thread

[FrontlineArtist]

I brought an air bottle from Justpaintball for my brother a month ago and he is finaly using it for the first time this weekend but wile checking it see if he has everything I noticed the thread part of the bottle wobbles, this has got me slightly worried.

I put it onto my marker and it sits in fine but when I take it off the rest of the bottle turns before the thread part does

Would it be safe to use or sould I send it back?
I have attached a picture just to make it clear about the part i'm talking about.

i have the same problem with mine. is it a 0.8l steelie?

if you mean the section that you have arrowed is turning seperately from the rest, then yes it should be sent back or repaired.

IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE as it is.

The two grub screws must be loosened and the top section should be screwed back on to the body to a specific torque setting and the grub screws tightened to lock it in place. But if this is in warranty it should be returned.
