PCP Questions

Fingers crosman, I'll let you know how I get on, in 5-6 weeks, 🙄

Hi Mintie,

Good explination of your home compressor set up.

I agree with you 100% about being able to fill a 300bar rifle up to 300 bar. There are a lot of shots between 300 and 220 bar, so why not use them.
I used to have a 300bar 10L scuba tank, which I brought over to NZ when I immigrated, and then found out it cant be filled by a dive shop in NZ or Aus because there is a specific H&S system here. Quite frustrating.

300 bar scuba tanks are avalible to purchase here, and as JawbFrog pointed out, they need a special DIN valve rated to 300bar, which I would have had to order seperatly when I looked into buying a 300bar tank here. The only problem I found when I phoned around is that there is only 1 dive shop on North Island (that I am aware of) that will fill a scuba tank to 300bar, and they are in Auckland (and I'm not).

I considered a home compressor, but the costs and maintence, and buckets of water with pumps to cool it etc, seemed like more hassel then I wanted. My rifles take 200bar and 230bar, so I got a one man decompression chamber (14L steel scuba tank) for 400 bucks, my hamilton dive shot pumps it to about 210 (should be 230 but they too lazy to let it cool and then do the last 20 bar) and that much air lasts me months.

If I had a 300 bar rifle things would be different i guess
