Yeah looked pretty young and wasnt as wary as the older birds are.
I have thought about a supressor and will buy one off @pauly5 once I have sorted some other projects out. Thanks for the offer Kruzaroad.
The pump action is pretty noisey and often in my excitement I catch my little finger when pumping it haha.... Slow learner here.

Nice going.
That is one scruffy looking magpie. Younger one?
Thought about chucking a suppressor on it?
I've got one here you can try, but I'll want it back.
It does make a noticable differnce to the shot sound.
The pump action is a differnt story, but I'm sure there are ways to do that.
I used a stick on velcro strip on the 1322,which quietened it right down. Tried it in 362 but wouldn't lock properly, but there will be something that does.

I only ever dealt with nz dive shops, so guess they only had nz certified ones, or maybe I was just lucky with them.
Arnt those carbon bottles just a thinner aluminium walked tank with a carbon fiber skin for strength.
Would u be right in assuming the compressors have a water trap? ]]> Tue, 14 Nov 2023 04:32:11 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=930&PID=8561#8561 Crosman 362 build : I guess the original cert is done... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=930&PID=8558#8558 Author: KiwiTR6

I guess the original cert is done overseas where the test procedures are different, the problem arises with the retest here (so I believe).  

My 12L steel tank weighed 22kg filled so it was far too heavy to lug around and more than my poor old back could handle.  

I replaced it with a 10L Shootair carbon bottle that weighs only 7kg empty and fill it with a compressor from AliExpress - yay, no more trips to the dive shop!

Sorry Pauly was wrote and posted that before saw your reply.
Some bottles do have incorrect metal composition at manufactor and sneak onto the market. That is something to look out for. ]]> Tue, 14 Nov 2023 03:31:14 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=930&PID=8556#8556 Crosman 362 build : They have to be pressure tested... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=930&PID=8555#8555 Author: kruzaroad

They have to be pressure tested to pass certification in the first place. So why they would fail is beyond me.
They are noticeably lighter than steel tanks when fill that's from first hand experience.
The reason the walls are so thick is to handel the pressure. (and they are considerably thicker) hence the lesser volume compared to steel.
The main issue diving is how bouent they become when the air gets low, which isn't an issue on land and the lower volume of air.
Still haven't dived for years now so things may have changed.
As you say check with dive shop.
But at end of day I'm not sure that my suggestion of a pony bottle is practical. The 362 is a pump action rifle and in my view a good gun as is, if you don't mind the pumping.
