Years ago I was looking for a small buddy bottle tank to be able to top off my marauder pistol in the field without having to own a large and expensive compressor to fill the buddy bottle. At the time nothing was available to suit my needs and no dealer was offering 380, 500, 580 cc buddy bottles like we have now so again I had to resort to Best Fittings in the UK for a tiny 500cc buddy bottle, which I was able to fill with my Nomad II compressor at the time to 300 bar. Now we have the Edgun filling system but we’re still lacking small one or two top off tanks that fit in a small backpack and can be filled with a GX CS2 or 3 compressor easily. Come on dealers get with the times this is a very convenient way to fill guns in the field and you’ll sell more little compressors. Just sayin:)

 
I use these for on the go ratting. the small one is good for about 2 fills on my Brocock Concept or Atomic.
That's about 90 plus shots. Put the Quik-fill on and it's really fast and handly.

Are you looking for something like this? This is what i carry
I have two of those 100s now but before I had a big compreasor to fill the 100s I wanted a small 500cc bottle to fill with my Nomad which wasn’t available in the US.
 
I picked up a 1.1L tank similar to this one:

Been very happy with it as a buddy bottle for filling pistols.
I don’t trust eBay stuff especially when it comes to 300 bar but why buy that when AV sells perfectly good tanks ?

I've purchased multiple tanks off eBay that are all CE certified. May not be DOT, but from what I've read the European CE certification is better than ours. Never had any issues. Do what you are comfortable with, but these cost a bit less.

good to know for future I guess Tuxing has been around a bit and most likely makes stuff for Av
