Just wanted to float this idea by a few of the experts.

Do you think its possible to add a second Co2 tube to an airgun using a Y adapter with a valve switch to switch to the second Co2 when the first runs dry?

it's possible but unlikely...unfortunately the force on the valve would be incredible making it very difficult to operate.

Why not extend the existing Co2 tube and add a second 12g caplet?

So basically it can be done if we eliminate the valve?

I will be starting to mod a 1077 and I was going to build a custom stock for it and I thought it would be kool to house an additional C02 cartridge in it.

I would love to find some pics of the innards of some of those PCP guns.
