jazz_11 5 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 my mates AA fills to 300 bar although he doesnt fill to that pressure you would need a bigger size... 300 bar mate Quote Link to post
T78 4 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 i very much doubt any air arms fills to 300 bar! most rifles fill to 190 or so. that bottle would be fine. i have a 12 litre,232 bar one and it fills my rifle to 190 dozens of times. Quote Link to post

spike 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) i very much doubt any air arms fills to 300 bar! most rifles fill to 190 or so. that bottle would be fine. i have a 12 litre,232 bar one and it fills my rifle to 190 dozens of times. i thought 300 bar was a bit exessive myself! think i'l start the bidding process then 300 bar is ok - my bottle is 300 bar, basically you dont need it. As said that will do the job Edit to say - bottle is 300 - fill S400k to 180/190 from 300 bar bottle Edited September 26, 2008 by spike Quote Link to post
jazz_11 5 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 yes i know you dont fill to 300 bar but you will need a more powerful bottle for the air arms my bsa fills to 200 max so i use a 232 bar bottle. im just going on what people with s410s told me so.. cheers jazz Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 This one seems to be getting a little confusing...and the advertised bottle is 234 bar...that's a new one on me ..they are usually 232bar. A 232bar 12L bottle will be absolutely fine for your gun.....the only proviso I would add is that if you use it an awful lot...and I mean a lot...or you intend to take it FAC consider a 300 bar bottle!

1mart1n 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 if you can gt a 3oo bar.... i have a 207 bar and my gun fills to 200 so before long there wont be 200 bar in my bottle and if for example its down to 160 bar i can only fill my gun to 160..(equal the pressure of the bottle). i realy would not buy another smoall presured bottle as i have to drive 12 miles to fill mine Quote Link to post

Deker 3,478 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Like I say..... This one seems to be getting a little confusing...and the advertised bottle is 234 bar...that's a new one on me ..they are usually 232bar. A 232bar 12L bottle will be absolutely fine for your gun.....the only proviso I would add is that if you use it an awful lot...and I mean a lot...or you intend to take it FAC consider a 300 bar bottle! Who suggested to any of you owners to get a 207 bar bottle for an air rifle...I suspect they are bottles you picked up cheap/innocently somewhere....a 207 bar bottle is not a very good idea for an air rifle unless you only fire a handful of shots a year!! If you bought this from a RFD he needs a kicking! 300 bar in an Air Arms is Bull, that may well be the reservoir test pressure ..it sure as hell is not the recommended fill pressure (which I think is around 190)! Some serious confusion here and some very strange ideas.... If you want to stay alive don't fill any conventional PCP to 300bar!!! Quote Link to post
1mart1n 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 dekker calm down nobody has sugested or is sugesting getting a 207 bar bottle.. the point is if its not the 300 bar you will be taking it to fill up more often.. ok there is no serious confusion unless you are confused..you are right the bottle was cheep it was £250 with a nice condition aa s300 + charging equipment as i live 12 (ish)miles away from the diving centre its a long way to go.

You need to read my reply in relation to the whole thread..I am talking general...there is a lot of confusion/misinformation here! The original question relates to what has been suggested to be a 12L 232bar bottle...most normal air rifle users will find this will last a YEAR or more! Quote Link to post
deanflute 550 Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 i didnt win it anyway!! but i will still be looking for a bottle Quote Link to post
