That refill deal looks like a good idea.

I enquired about making one for this model, he said I could repost this.
Me: Hi, would it be possible to cut down a bottle enough for it to work in a
Walther CO2 lever action with the butt pad installed??? I think the user
would have to use a deep socket on the hex of the new inlet check valve
fitting to screw it in and back out, but I think it would work perfectly
fine otherwise.
Alliance: I don't see why not. I'd just have to cut it down and reweld it. I'd
pressure test it before shipping and would require some sort of
liability waiver before it blows your cheek off…..
You'd probably want the gun first so you can measure the stick out, so I know how much to cut off. Also note, of course, that you'll get less shots per fill.
You can post my info. For better or worse, most people already know my site.
So maybe you could contact him, with measurements of the free length or space behind the end of the 88 gram bottle, so he would know how long to make this. His Contact page:

If I had a gun and went this route, I would refill with a small hpa buddy bottle regulated to 1100 or 1200 psi. Alternatively, I guess you could drill a hole in the butt pad and attach a tether line, to leave it hooked up all the time, though that would look pretty weird and make it impossible to shoulder the gun.
I am already using his Diana Chaser tether adapter, it works great, but it is at the front of the gun…. He does all sorts of custom work including firearm finishing.
If you do proceed with this, please start a thread so I can be kept up to date.
