stealth 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Just purchased my first PCP an AA s410, didn't buy a bottle with it as my dad is a diver and i can use his (he only lives next door) tryed filling it though and my gun doesn't seem to charge, he has some sort of regulator on his tank though and the guy in the shop had an a clamp and gauge. is this why it wont charge? because the regulator is stopping reducing the flow? if so thinking about buying my own bottle kit, how much should i expect to pay?

The regulator won't allow enough pressure to open the valve in your gun.If your after a bottle adaptor and line,you'd be better off getting one second hand,but check the its still in test.I reckon a second hand 3 litre 300bar bottle,guage and line,would probably go for between £-£100,the adaptor about £15 hth's Edited October 21, 2007 by bill88 Quote Link to post

Guest baldie Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Make sure the gun is cocked, otherwise the air will vent down the barrel. Quote Link to post
