vizlauk 1,568 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 You don't need to decant them, unless your working / stripping the cylinder down or going to post the cylinder to someone, it's just to de pressurise it .. 1 Quote Link to post
big napper 3,559 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Cheers mate, i thaught the cylendars got liquid in and that was to get it out Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 You only need to decant if you go on a plane, or put it in the post, other than that. I've got the first cylinder that came out with the bayonet filler, and that's never been off the gun since I bought it, and not had any problems, the air I put in my gun is dry from my divers bottle, cant comment about stirrup pumps. 2 Quote Link to post

big napper 3,559 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Nice one si, i think the a&m cylinders are great but could be better if the preasure guage was clearer to read like the hw ones Quote Link to post
si brown 8,486 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Nice one si, i think the a&m cylinders are great but could be better if the preasure guage was clearer to read like the hw ones yeah the hw gauge is one of the best without a doubt, I should were glasses but can't be arsed! the fx ones aren't bad but air arms are terrible! not had a go with me mates since he changed it but I know he's loving the weight/ balance improvement 1 Quote Link to post
big napper 3,559 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I dont know why they dont all make them like the hw ones, as you said mate the airarms guage is totaly crap especialy if you have to put glasses on for close up 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,979 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 You can get a lightweight cylinder from Carl (airtech) or Phil ( ratworks ) which you fit the ends from your original cylinder 1 Quote Link to post
big napper 3,559 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 That sounds ok vm Quote Link to post
