air rifle filling bottle

[tillylamp 1,831]

hi,

ive just bought an air arms .177 s410 carbine and it came with a filling bottle, ive only ever used a pump before, what i was wondering was how much does it cost to fill it up? also how many fills will i get out of it? and where do i get it filled?

 

i cant quite read the writing on the side of the bottle,but it must be about 3 -- 31/2 litres, it measures 21 inches from the bottom to the top of the neck,and 4 inches wide,

 

help would be appreciated,

 

thanks tillylamp.

Its normally about £3/4 for a fill, expect 15+ charges from your tank

I had the s410k .177 and 3L 300bar Cylinder..If it's a 300bar cylinder your looking at 15 fills. Look on the side of the cylinder..it will be stamped 300bar or 232bar..if its 232bar expect less fills. Blackpool Air Rifles charge £3.00 to fill that size cylinder, from my experiance most diving centers will only fill to 232bar.

Dive bottles need to be tested every couple of years and once out of date will not be filled by any bonafida shop. But it's a small price to pay for safety.

the way everyone goes on about how difficult pumps are over bottles etc,i dont really see why people complain really..the last time i pumped a gun was when i was about 12, so i thought it was hard then..but now i have a pcp and a pump, i dont find it difficult atall, u can notice a diffrence once hitting 180-190 bar, but its only the last inch you can feel lol happy shooting and get a pump ! easier allround!
