ST3V3 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 232 bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 232 bar 232 bar is the pressure of a standard divers bottle and MUCH higher than most 12ft lb Air rifle reservoirs! I haven't a clue about the Spitfire pressure but would expect it to be under 200 Bar, perhaps 180 Bar, are you sure about the 232 Bar??

wymberley Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hi, haven't a clue about the pressure but someone will know. However, a tip; charge the rifle as slowly as is possible. When compressed, a gas will heat up and the faster it's compressed the hotter it gets. Unfortunately, it then cools and the pressure in the rifle will drop before you've even fired a shot.

Clubshot Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Normally only put in around 200 Bar in Mine - .25 BOB/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottie Dave Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) The bottles I have are filled to 300 bar. The ripley will take that but I like to keep it somewhat lower. Modern pcp's will have what is called a sweet spot. It is likely to be in the 180bar region. If you don't get a definite answer here, I would strongly suggest a e-mail to the manufacturer. I mat be wrong STV3 avatar is playing up Edited August 3, 2010 by lottie Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
