Bsa ultra

So questions first .

Which bsa ultra ? Older mmc or newer se version .

On the older mmc. There was no factory gauge.but i know xtx and others did a gauge to fit on the end of the air tube .

It was a direct replacement for the standard fill valve .but it extended the airtube around 25 mm this could mean depending on exactly which model the extension would foul and silencer you may want to fit . (This was very true for the scorpion t10 carbine ) and a 30mm barrel extension was available to solve the issue. 

The standard ultra se has a gauge fitted to the underside of the airtube .depending on the stock type .wood or syth the banjo that holds the gauge is different lengths .

There were some single shot ultras (with a bolt ,but without a gauge - or hole in the stock ) these would be tricky to fit without changing the stock for one with a hole or drilling one in your original. 

As far as just changing over a faulty or different colour gauge then shoot all  the air out the gun and unscrew the gauge with your fingers (its on an oring ) the reverse the process .never tighten it up too much (ie with a spanner ) it will crush the oring and make it leak.

Very easy to do .

Ps dont  use ptfe tape to seal on the threads .if its leaking then the oring is squashed or you just need another 1/4 turn .

Ptfe is a bodge and there should be no bodges where 250 bar is concerned.

Ditchy that is still the best thread sealant for hot water heating pipes.  All the new fangled stuff don't work as good. Lasts many decades too.

hello, i am sure you would have no problem on PCPs Simon, its a pretty basic concept in design, check out some strip down guides, replacing the O rings is what most needs doing and a good cleaning of parts,

I would be more akin to using a liquid lock or thread sealer, it would cure and fill the voids better, PTFE is good, after all it is the base for Gor-Tex but I would not feel its as capable as a lot of very well designed liquid solutions considering the pressure involved.

I heard that when Norfolkstan were going to sent a rocket to the sun, someone queried whether it would be too hot, they replied -:

"We`ve already thought of that, we`re going at night`.
