hi all, just wandering all the ways of filling co2 bottles your self or different ways of filling, i live around 20miles from any paintball shop and is a pain going all the time to fill my bottles. any ideas would be great ! thanks

You can rent bulk CO2 tanks from BOC, and buy yourself a fill rig - online or ebay then fill your own bottles. You'll need a set of digital kitchen scales to make sure you don't over-fill them too. We used to do this as a team years ago & it saved a lot of cash. If you call BOC they'll give you current hire/refill charges & the rig should only be £20-30

Urm probably wouldn't work out cost effective for personal use tbh.

you could buy a small tank (make sure it has dip tube)48kg, they go for about £40, refills cost about £17
and you get approx 30 odd fills in 20oz co2 bottles

If you have been trained it's fine.
