Found 1.... "Do not exceed the recommended air pressure for the buddy bottle, which will

be stamped on the bottle (e.g. CP232 bar)" source BSA Manual.

Cheers mate, so what cc does that make the bottle?? and how many shots can i expect from a 200bar charge, its .22 just got the gun and have only used it once, i havent got a pump for it yet (treating myself for xmas )so i take it to the local gun shop, which charges £2 to fill it, dnt want to keep taking it back if it still has a trip or 2 worth of air left in it. cheers

TP348 is the Test pressure

BS 5045 pt6 and the date is the British standard number it has been tested to for legislation

CP232 is the Constant pressure the cylinder can handle

AIR 669- AA861259 I'm guessing is the BSA part number

 

if it's a standard rifle then you should easily see approx 190-200 shots from a 232 bar fill

Its a carbine darryl, does this make any difference?? Rough guess id say i put eight, ten shot mags through it up the farm, should be good for another trip before recharge?? dont want to get all the way up to the permission, to have it run out after a few shots. cheers

do buddy bottles have to have a test?

[millsy44 72]

Thats the rifle, i was told by the lad i bought it off, thats its a Mk2 in a mk1 stock, Never had a super10 before, it is a carbine, right??

BSA Superten.

 

NUMBER OF SHOTS (Approx)

Rifle Carbine Pressure

.177 12 ft lbs 160 shots 100 shots 232 bar

.22 12 ft lbs 230 shots 150 shots 232 bar

.177 FAC 45 shots not available 232 bar

.22 FAC 45 shots 45 shots 232 bar

 

 

 

sorry Darryl I quoted .177 shot count

Edited December 13, 2010 by ArchieHood

[Marksman 934]

yep its a carbine mate

 

probably looking at about 160-170 shots per fill

Have you chronoed it to find out what its pushing as that will affect the shot count too??

The reg is set at 90bar for a standard rifle if I remember correctly

Cheers, i dont have a chrnono do gun shops normally have one you can use, noticed in the shop i use they have a range with targets, hmmmm ill have to ask, when you say the reg is set at 90bar does this mean my power will drop when the bottle reaches 90bar?? only ever had 1 pcp before and i dont take the performance side to seriously, as long as the rifle is doing what i want it to then i dont tinker lol

[Marksman 934]

yep thats right mate

 

Try and get someone locally to chrono it though, if you take it to a shop and it's over then say bye bye to your rifle
