nicknsd1978 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Is moisture a real problem with cheap stirrup pumps or is it not really worth worrying about? I can understand if you’ve spent £1000 on a gun but mine was only £250 new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 hello, what pump are you looking to get or have already, some you can add a moisture filter or trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 hello, yes that was like the ones mentioned on other air rifle forums 3 stage pump, you might find an inline filter you can add, make an offer and let us know how you get on, i have had a few pumps on the cheaper side and never had moisture problems with a AA S410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknsd1978 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 They do come with some kind of foam filter or you could always get one of these...https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Limited-Stock-PCP-Pump-Moisture-Filter-Hose-Quick-Fit-Adaptor/332513852495?hash=item4d6b5ebc4f:g:-IIAAOSwUd9aU3Rv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 My best mate has had that very model for over a year now pumping his R10. No problems as of yet. I'll be getting one as soon as I find a falcon for the right price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknsd1978 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I think I’ll get one then. Only using it for rabbits so not like I’m putting hundreds of pellets a week through it. Will be putting a tin through to start with to get some practice but after that it’ll just be a case of topping it up each week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defender Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) I tried a pump. After pumping my webley raider up from empty I went out and bought a 3L 300 bar bottle and sold the pump. Only costs £2 to top bottle up at local gunshop which is only a couple of mlies away and I can get pellets while I'm at it.

shawn9914 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Air gun doctor told me that all the internals on my hw100 are stainless or alloy anyway so moisture wouldn't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknsd1978 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Yes I have just bought an Artemis M22 which apparently (according to gunmart) has a titanium air cylinder...so what’s the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
