davyt63 1,845 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 hi buddy fill using a bottle ,quick flick of the wrist and cylinder filled regards davy Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I'd have to say for the first time, get it filled from a dive shop or gun shop. Filling from empty will soon have you so fecked, you wont be able to think about taking a shot for a few days! Then fill from a pump when you've finished your shot count. Phantom Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I nearly strained my finger once turning the stop tap on my divers bottle if that counts Quote Link to post
jay2k123 2 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I nearly strained my finger once turning the stop tap on my divers bottle if that counts looks like 8 shot got it right as the pump is going back to gunpower tomorrow.one the thread on the brass connector has gone,it never sealed right anyway.two the dial is showing 20 bar before i even start pumping.and finally i think the pump needs a longer rest than i do in between pumping sessions.ahhh well you live and learn.think i'll get a carbon fibre divers bottle as well as a new pump Quote Link to post

gurtwurz 792 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 yep, i tried to go out immediately after pumping my r10 up, couldnt shoot straight for 3 hours due to my arms trembling from the exertion and the asthma i developed... all the best, wurz Quote Link to post
rossy08 33 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 i have had simler problems. i get to about 150 bar and start lifting my self up instead of pushing the pump down.. was in the building trade for a few years could shift 50 tones in a day an not think much of it, got the carrea 707 out and looked at the pump and just thought you know what, sod the rabbits im going to the pub, its just easeyer to lift a few pints. got the bottle now. did scrape me knuckles on the top filling it up the other day tho..it that counts.
