Dave did you also buy one of those adapters that uses 2 of the CO2 tubes?
They are out of stock everywhere I've looked. I did find this item on Amazon that allows you to remove a 88g tube without losing the charge, it's made by Umarex. I sent UmarexUSA a message asking if it would fit my 850M2 and also asked if they had a date when the 2x adapter would be available again.

Hope they will be available soon, one of the 40ct 12g tubes that I got for $16 is the equivalent of 5½-88g tubes that I am seeing at $20 for a 2 pack, so considerably cheaper to shoot the 12g tubes.

Amazon has single 12g adapters but it looks like the only way to see if they will work in my rifle is to buy one. They say you can use a single full 12g tube in the Umarex 2x, just leave one empty tube in it.

Dave Check Midwayusa. Last time I looked the 88g tubes there were 15.00 a pair.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Thanks, cheaper than any sites I've seen, $25.75 with shipping for Umarex 2 packs but just saw I can get them next day delivered, no shipping to pick up at my local Sportsman Warehouse, $16 + $1.36 sales tax. Cheaper, and I like to support my local stores when I can, I know it's a chain store but they are employing local workers.

But hopefully I will find out soon if the 2x12g adapters will be available soon and if the Umarex CO2 Saver will work on my rifle.

Heard back from Umarex and they said the 2x12g adapters should be available mid to late May. Also that their CO2 Saver will work on the 850m2. Ordered one from Amazon, should be here Wed.

No, my friend got rid of the rats with some RatX but I'll try if they come back, we got one of those treadle type feeders so the rats can't get to the chicken food any more. Have some squirrels around but ours are the small variety, would take quite a few to make a meal, also they are kind of cute and fun to watch, my friend just got a squirrel proof bird feeder and have been watching them try to figure it out. Do have some skunks around but they seem to be mostly nocturnal, never see them during the day.
