Filling my rifles

[Mr nigel Cullen 1]

Hi folks .trying to fill my rifles with an air tank but thy dont seem to be filling .if i use a hand pump the gauge on the guns moves to the required psi but dsnt budg when i use the tank there's no leaks and air is coming out of the probes when i test them before inserting into the rifles ?any suggestions would be appreciated.

Has your dive bottle got air in it , has it more air than what you are try to fill your gun with  ?

Sounds like the bottle needs filling.

First off what make of rifle is it

Just some rifles if empty of air need the cocking bolt pulled back

to fill them up

bsa and some s410,,,s need this done

try this first (remember to remove the mag first as you need to cock the rifle and a loaded mag is not a good thing lol)

Thanks for advice ..yes my bottle has air in it and my riles are a kral puncher breaker .hw 110 .gamo phox .and fx streamline  .when i test all the different probes air is coming out like it should but when i insert them into the guns it jus seems to fill the line and not the gun frustrating !

Have you got a Foster fitting with a plug/bung so you can turn on the air to full pressure without any coming out of the tank. You will get a true reading of just how much pressure is in the tank. Has the tank been working without issue then just stopped working.

Yea it filled them once the day i had the bottle filled but after that nothing but they fill with the hand pump.

I am tempted to take the bottle back to your rfd (when you are able) and get it checked out for pressure because I there has to be something wrong with the bottle pressure or fittings. 

It is a pity you don't have a second bottle to try, I have two, partly as I had two fac rifles which tend to use a fair bit of air but also it gave me a second bottle to take out with me if needed so it is very easy to check if there is a fault.

If you don't have a Foster fitting plug, get one. I use mine to check just how much air is in the tank and for a couple of quid, well worth the dosh.
