air arms recharging

[eddy cochran 0]

hi,my nephew has just bought an airarms s 400 and neither him nor me are sure about refilling the rifle,the filler is just under the silencer and it looks very awkward to get a buddy bottle on it,does he have to get it recharged at the local shop,

via a divers bottle, any of you good folk know ?

elther a diver's bottle or hand pump (stirrup) will do diver's bottle will need a hose and gauge hope this helps

Take it to your local shop,or gun club,and watch how they put the air in from the divers bottle,its a simple procedure,but potentially very dangerous if done incorrectly.I would recommend a divers bottle in preference to a pump,if and when you decide to get your own.

remember if its the first fill it will need a quick blast of air from a dive bottle to close the seal. if youve only got a pump cock the rifle and then charge to 180-190bar. i use a pump, too much hastle with a bottle but each to there own..
