Please PM me some details I’m still trying to work out the best method but the pump needs replacing, try to convince work they need a compressor and a couple of big bottles for events. 

Hello, these are 2  x 4ltr cylinders inline 300 bar cylinders which means the connect together giving 8 Ltrs, a strong handle makes them very portable, Oxford Dive centre would not test them, needs a proper cylinder testing company,

I, have a small white one, and my friend knows somebody local who maybe getting rid off one, thanks.

Hi, really not have the knowledge but thought of compressed air and the brewery trade, as I have just bought a hw 100 s 177 and until that air gun it was a airsporter many many years ago, so i am starting to realize more to this than first thought |

Hello, just get yourself a proper 300 bar PCP air cylinder and guage, even a PCP pump should do for a 100, there's good reviews on the wolf man store with cylinders and free post,

The kids shot 750 ish pellets

 

I was reading up until this point thinking to myself “What is wrong with these saps, why don’t they just use a stirrup pump like a normal man?”, then I read the above and laughed at my own ignorance. I only shoot vermin with my air rifles so a fill lasts an awful lot longer than it does in your household!

Thanks WalkedUp 😂

The kids do enjoy the air rifles and I must admit I enjoy shooting with the kids just as much.  It’s the constant pumping that my back protests at.  I’m looking for a tank now as the compressors don’t seem to offer that bigger advantage.

Try and get a tank with a jubilee type valve, it helps stop you suddenly having a blonde moment and forcing 300bar into a 200bar gun. Ramsbottom have the 4ltr 300bar with jubilee valve back in stock for £155, you will struggle to beat that.

Thanks I was thinking of a 10 or 12l tank to be honest maybe a 7l.  That way I can use it for work as well.

The 7 ltr I have cost £168, but bought in Gloucester , if your looking at compressors to fill cylinders where you work there about £2000, those I have that need testing your welcome to take and see if there's any where to re test around Farnborough , if they pass would be ideal to take in motor when out shooting,

Hello, have you got sorted ??

[rapid rich]

I had a 12 lt 232 bar for years. Sold it recently and bought a new 12 lt 300 bar. 
Done a lot of shooting and testing lately and it’s still at 250 bar.

It’ll do me rest of my days 

£270 well spent

Hi guys I’m thinking of getting a diving tank to fill my growing habit of PCP guns.  What sort of size do people recommend or is a compressor more worth while?

I have 9L 300bar ex-fire breathing cylinder which could be used subject to it being in certification - which I need to check

Obviously needs an appropriate adapter but it would be lots lots less than buying a new one

I will post a for-sale ad when I got all the details, pictures etc. but just didnt want you to miss out because I wasnt ready to post an advert yet

Forgot to say - be aware that the testing regime 2.5 years vs 5 years recertification depends on if its a scuba tank or a surface use breathing tank
