Stirrup Pumps

[Baldcoot 2,352]

Got the 14.09 1 from them used it six times ,takes my prw900 to 200 bar very well ,no leaks or dramas .The only obvious differences are the "dearer" 1 has folding feet ,powder coated and comes with in line filter .

Waiting on a 4.99 special from the same people but coming from china now ,uk stocks have been eaten by people on airgunforum some have bought 4 at a time and most buy two so they got a "spare" for the car .God knows how for the money ,surely even the shipping must cost more than the pump??

Yerr, it makes you wonder. Also got a pressure gauge. How do they do it, manufacture, assemble, ship and still make a profit for less than a fiver?

Well it arrived this evening, easy assembly, spare seals etc .Works 4.99 from China according to senders customs label

Can't get my head around the price delivered but I've saved 160 quid on a hills pump which is another prw 900 plus change

Let us know how well it works charging a rifle. If it’s ok, I might start saving up.........

It works, 130 bar to 200 in about 30 pumps .Nearer to 200 bar bit of a work out but as a fatbloke I need it

Can’t find any at that price atm, cheapest I found was £24 on fleabay. Loads of pumps that look to be the same but with massively varying prices.

Snap mate. Even down to same whip & fittings, but some are 3 times price of others!

That’s the one I bought Ben, I’ve fitted a stronger non-return valve spring and plugged the whip. Just pumped it up to 100 bar, seems to be holding but it took a while to get it up to that pressure. I’ll have a look in the morning to see if it’s still holding pressure.

Iv put it together and pumped it up. It just needed a tighten as the guage, hose etc was a bit loose. It came with a bag of spares. I pumped it up and its held its pressure for 20 mins so far not a movement on the guage. Im made up with it, I can't understand how they do it for the money!

 

How long did it take to get to that pressure Tom? Mine seems to take ages to get to 100 bar.

[Baldcoot 2,352]

If I may suggest some modifications to improve your pressure. The base brass nut unscrew it and seal it with ptfe tape .

Ditto the air pipe and bleed screw fittings ,had to do this with a 30 quid special 2 years ago .

And I tighten the bleed screw with pliers to ensure a good shut out.

Hope this helps

Hi If I remember rightly it was about 4 pumps or so.

I did that with mine too. On the five quid one I nipped them up with an adjustable spanner then all was good.

Hmm, no comparison then. Mine must have been more like 100 pumps to get up to 100 bar. Something seriously not right with mine then.
