VULTURE Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi does anyone know of anyone who refills air bottle while you wait,the chap (Bucklands) I was using does not answer his phone anymore so assumed he has retired/ceased trading. Not willing to leave bottle as a friend left a new one to be filled and when collecting it had been swapped for an older one almost due for a test and shop denied swapping it. Must be in the Norwich area. Cheers. Vulture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superspark Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Most will fill while you wait, it takes around half an hour to do as tank get hot as it fills so a short breather in the water tank to help cool it. It needs to be cool to squeeze the last few bars of pressure in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretagentmole Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Ah another satisfied Gedney customer then lol! He is superb for cylinder filling, servicing, repairs (ie gauge replacement), testing too! He can also source cylinders and usually has a few secondhand for sale. He also shoots an AA 410!

Ttfjlc Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 The fact his unit is around 6-8 miles away from my house makes him ideal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
