buze Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 My wife picked for herself a nice BSA ultra SE -- and we picked a 3L bottle to keep it filled up -- and it's empty obviously... Where do you guys gets your bottle refilled in the Slough area-ish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 most gun shops can normally fill bottles and rifles for you, just ring your local one and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1nut Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 I have no idea what it's like in your area but here I find the local dive centres are cheaper than the gun shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buze Posted December 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Oh so can gun shops load up a bottle... from their bottles? Sorry I had assumed you needed bigger, better container to fill a bottle to capacity... There USED to be a five center in Windsor, a while back, but I think they've disappeared...

figgy Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Local airgun ranges are normally ok price wise for refills. I used a dive center to fill my 7ltr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep found them using google map -- only open on thursday/friday/saturday tho, bu tthey are 5 minutes away from me (burnham). I was thinking of getting a pump, but since the gun will be used in the field/hide, it's likely a lot quicker to top it up from the back of the car when needed...

buze Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Well there's the plinking case tho... You can go reasonably quickly thru 50 shots... Anyway, we went to visit Eton Rifles, and the chap there refilled the gun -- can't do the bottle tho, but he told me that Emmet&Stone in Little Marlow can do it, and it's my usual shop anyway -- so i'll go there tomorrow. Guy at Eton Rifle is very very nice, I should go there more often -- it's just a bit awkward to go and park in Eton high street... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Sorry but if you are talking about a bsa ultra se .your a bit off . Cal makes a difference too .to pressure range and shot count . The older mmc ultras are different again .
