How can I get a bigger CO2 tank installed with my drozd?

this is the most fun airgun I own that's CO2. I own a pcp Airforce condor and would like to know if there's any other way of getting more shots, rather than buying CO2 cartridges.

You'll need a crystal ball to answer that. I highly doubt that Drozd would be bothered to do that.

No one will build a gun like that and try to market it as it will just be too close to the real thing. Unless you buy a modded one you will need to do as I have and so many others and buy the parts and do the mods yourself. I did have a nice 15" barrel until it failed but the stock barrel is great on FA out to 20 meters no problem. With the FA board, decent 20 meter optics like a Red Dot and laser, and finally the bulk system you will have an airgun unlike anything else out there. The 30 round mags are a pain but if you squeeze off 5 round FA bursts it is not bad. I have one bulk mag and 1 stock mag. Get a Marksman rubber speedloader and things aren't that bad, oh yeah now I have my semi-auto 600 for backup now, life is soooo good!

Mine broke now I use an OPP loadlocker and Marksman speedloaders, silent to use and very fast.

bulk setup

15" adds more accuracy but the 20" gives even more power, I prefer a shorter barrel as BB's will never equal a 2240 for any distance over 25 meters. But my experience is to just bulk it put a decent sight on it do the full auto board. The barrel is expensive and the other mods will make you much happier first. Just remember if you tune the solenoid and bulk it adding a longer barrel will bump you past 500 fps so we know what what would happen if stopped. A word of advice DO NOT shoot this airgun in public areas as the FA mod will certainly increase you chances of a visit by some official. I limit my shooting to private property only.

Safe shooting, Randy.

yeah but a 20'' barrel looks pretty weird on an smg looking gun. the bulk is good, my problem with the fa board is... can you still shoot semi?

I agree with Randy.

Get yourself a Tasco RedDot (Model (BKRD3022)) from LeBaron and bulk it. Honestly, I've only had my Drozd for a few months and I cannot imagine shooting targets any further then 5 meters for the fun factor. Besides I want to see the target ripped to shreads up close. I had a blast in October killing pumpkins... bits flying out the back and such. :lol:

You can see a picture of my Drozd here:
