magman Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 if it was brought by post they have to come empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 yeah, they normally come empty. I bought mine in my local gun shop and it was empty but they have a massive compressor and fill it free of charge for the 1st time anyway.

pin Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 If it is empty make sure whoever fills it does it nice and slowly or you will get skanked on air Worth getting friendly with the local dive shop, most when they know its for air guns just whack it on quick and it heats up to the point you could hardly touch it, air expands when its hot, there will be far less in it when it cools down. Similarly don't empty it completely before having it filled for the same reason :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
