haynes Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Scuba dive clubs or somewhere that might use breathing aparatus, fire station? Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, I only know for sure about Clubsub. what happened with them in the past? Could have been a one off ball dropping by someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been a one off ball dropping by someone the first and last time i used clubsub it took me 6 weeks to get my cylinder back that was around 4 years ago, after so long i thought things may have changed so asking a few local shooting lads about clubsub they are telling me nothing has changed one guy still waiting they have had his cylinder over 4 weeks, but it looks like the only place for miles from here to get a test, looks like i might have to travel out of town.

Where do fellow clubbers go? Asking in your local shooting shop might pay dividends too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo33 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Know your pain,same round here. See pcp compressor thread in the air gun section. Ok, bit of an outlay, but end of problem! Do you have any friends you could share the cost of purchasing one? How long do you intend shooting a pcp? If it’s s good few years, them it will pay for itself in no time. Bottles, with the hassle of testing and trips for filling have their days numbered imho. T33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Go on the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) website and "find a club near you". Then contact them to find out where they get their cylinders tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manthing Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Not sure how accurate this is but I did read somewhere that they all go to one place for testing. Is the delay because they wait till they have enough to send in at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 it might be worth looking for a fire safety place, i used to get a bottle filled at one, they might do tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
