Buster321c 1,010 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Fill to 175 , and AA guages are notoriously innaccurate , always go of the bottle gauge . Edited March 2, 2012 by Buster321c Quote Link to post
jayjay 264 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 i've got the AA s400, and i fill mine off a divers bottle and use the gauge which is on the bottle, i only ever fill mine to 190bar, and that was advice given from the gun shop when i bought it, and i find it starts shooting really well when it gets down to around 150/160 bar, all the best, jay.

Buster321c 1,010 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Just to clarify , the recommended fill is 190 , but at about 175 is the best place to start from . Quote Link to post

Acuspell 329 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Depends if it has been regged or not! With Tench regulator i fill to 210 and shoot to 110 - all the same, because the hammer spring is working in the same pressure air all the time. For a standard rifle with no regulator, from 180 bar for a good one (there are bound to be individual differences, they are things that have been made!) to 110 bar should provide good shooting with reasonable consistency. The best consistency will be from 160 - 120. Higher pressure= lower power! This is because the hammer is having to fight against the extra pressure before it can open the valve. Quote Link to post
