MickHowes 9 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Pumped the rifle back up to 190 bar last night and put her in the bag, but now going to check it this morning it has lost 25 bar overnight... is this normal? Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 No mate. Mine doesnt leak at all and never has. Quote Link to post
David.evans 5,323 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 When filled close the valve, and leave alone for a few minutes , you will see the psi drop slightly , to give a true bar , then top up to suit , must admit 25 bar is a lot , what are you filling ( daystate)?

barrywhite 282 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 temperature can also affect the bar .If you filled gun quickly and in a hot room then placed the gun in a cold place this could affect the bar reading .If your gun is a hw 100 and it is leaking the o ring between the air cylinder and the action is a good first suspect .

MickHowes 9 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 i reckon i just pumped it up too quick tbh, ill check again tho tonight Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Probably did pump it too fast. my brother (gymLAD) seen me pumping mine up and said come on I could do that in 10 seconds. but I like to take my time. pull up. hold for a second or too. push down. hold for a second or 2. rinse and repeat. you will see if you watch the needle it will fly up and then after a second or 2 drop back down slightly. if your pumping too fast you lose more air/pressure than you think and when the riffle cools down you will notice a difference Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Don't leave her in the bag either.....did that, bad idea! keep her out in the air mate!! Quote Link to post
MickHowes 9 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Daz... i pump mine up and put her in the rifle bag afdter im done:/ bad idea?? Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 VERY!!! The bags can trap moisture, I did it with my 97 and the pellet port rusted in 2 weeks!! It needs to be out of the bag, in a cupboard or somewhere the air can circulate. NEVER leave it in the bag..... Quote Link to post
MickHowes 9 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 U use the bag to travel to permissions though ?.... Quote Link to post
Matt Smith 143 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Mick, I think Daz means leaving it in the gun bag for long periods of time. Mine is only in a bag when travelling, it's never ever left in a bag in the house. Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Right, only use the bag to move the gun around outside of the house! Soon as it is in the house, its out of the bag! 1 Quote Link to post
