fill air tanks

just a dumb quiestion here,but why buy a pcp you know will have fill problems with???its pretty well known that 250 bar/4500psi airguns have issuses finding anywhere to get 250 bar hpa bottles filled as most dive shops even if they can doso, wont doso,for whatever reasons,fire stations wont fill bottles they dont own,proberly for liablity reasons caused by testing issues with carbon fiber hpa bottles etc,its not all bad as a regulated gun will run perfectly well at lower fill pressures,tho shot counts will be lower,this isnt a big issuse really as will still give a decent shot count for hunting,i rarely fill my own regulated guns up to max fill pressure and am happy enough getting 25/30 full power shots for hunting,i dont know enough bout your rifle to know if regulated or not,but fx are excellent pcp guns and you certainly be disappointed with yours,check your local airgun club,some one will definatly know where to get 250 bar fills,i am lucky my club has a 250 bar compressor,so dont have your problem,carbon fiber bottles have to meet strict test proceedures,any evan slight damage will cause them to fail tests,not to have them tested when required isnt a good idea,as its very definatly a safety issuse,guns that require 250 bar fill pressures certainly have their own issuses that proberly wont change unless the dive industery changes to 250 bar bottles forcing dive shops to be able to fill to this pressure,this has happened to certain extent here due to the oil industy needing large hi capacity hpa bottle banks on off shore platforms and drilling rigs,my local dive shop in new plymouth will fill and test 250 bar carbon fiber bottles,but only started doing so in last 2years,so maybe things changing.

Hi folks,
