    GX CS4 fill times

    FX Is the FX King a step forward or backward?

    After considering the FX King it is my opinion that it is a step backward from the Crown in several respects. Is it really necessary to have both manometers angled on what is supposed to be a traditional stock rifle? It has three negative points against it for me. I'm left handed and the...

    Inexpensive Tank Protection

    Last year I bought a 9.8L Omega SCBA tank as part of a PCP package deal on the classifieds. It was in as new condition and I want to keep it that way. It's easy to damage the clear coat that covers the carbon fiber wrap. This tank sat unused until I recently made a simple carrier to protect...
