RAW - Hatsan air cylinder compatability

[SDsteph]

good day
I recently acquired a TM1000 that came with a small aluminum bottle. I'd love to change it to a titanium cylinder, I was advised that there is a Hatsan cylinder that fits onto the RAW action. Can anyone confirm, if so their experience and the model that I should be looking for?
TIA

Ok. Here is what I found.
There is a $60 aluminum cylinder, bought on Amazon, from China that can be used. You need a $35 adapter from RAW to mate the two pieces together. The cylinder is slightly larger in diameter than the titanium one that Martin sells ( I needed one ASAP - and have one on order ). It may or may not fit the Martin supplied thumb-hole stock, at first try it did not and I wasn't about to force the issue as this was going into another stock altogether.


It holds air and I now have two manometers to check the fill level. The RAW one and one at the front end of the tube. Oh, the fill probe was useless as none of my fill whips fir over the one provided. Luckily the RAW has it's own fill port and worked flawlessly.

Lastly looking forward into my new foray into WFTF

This is awesome! I wish I had figured this out when I had my TM1000, as I would have never gotten rid of it!

I have to give credit to JD Garland who mentioned the cylinder at the nationals where I acquired this TM.

It increases your confidence with the high quality setup! Great to have incredible friends.

quick update - the rifle was shot down to 150 bar and has sat in the safe since then (about 10 days).......it is still at 150 bar, so no leaks

Still waiting for the titanium tube to be made by Martin, but this will do until it comes.

I'd like one to play with in my experiments in plenums but the 30mm end fitting is a deal breaker. My regulators are 28mm. The Shan Bao tubes from AliExpress I have been using are 3000psi. I could do m18x1 at both ends but that starts making things too long with the added adapter for the regulator.

That is easily the sharpest looking RAW I have ever seen! Very cool looking gun. That is the kind of thing that I would impulse buy on the spot. Nice one!

Thanks @Pumacarl I’ve had two offers to buy this rifle already and I have yet to shoot it in competition.
Still working on details.
