You will be 1000000000000000000 % fine with a new CE cert tank for filling yourself.

Does anyone know a repair center for a Spritech 4500psi compressor. I picked one up through an auction. The fan and motor run but it seems as though the pump is not actually engaging. I can't find a repair service anywhere. I have Googled a lot.

Any help would be appreciated.

Its either the piston rings or
Tighten all the fittings. Make certain your gauge and bleed screw are tight and sealed. Make. Make sure your fill.whip and filters are sealed.

You can buy a new piston on Amazon for 25-30 bucks or.piston rings. 39x1.5

You get no pressure on a deadhead?

I was using alkaline batteries but have switched to the recommended Lithium batteries. It made a difference in missed shots. But I still get a few, especially on the 1st shot after a short rest like when reloading a magazine.

The V2 can have its firmware updated. Anything there that might be an advantage?

Did you drill a hole in the air tube to corispone to the hole in the side of the reg? Reg need to be vented to the atmosphere pressure otherwise it's just going to end up being what ever pressure that is in the tank. Did you get instructions on how to install it.

i believe this is their contact email: [email protected]
perhaps they might be able to help you

Front T8 screw to tight back off as Lewis said. Most people have zero clue how a REKORD works sadly.

if not the return spring needs replacing under the aluminum rear screw.

I have the new pg-4 kit and the new cocking shoe for the R 1 ( mandatory to use the new style cocking shoe with the vortek kits) it will be interesting to see the difference in velocity’s .
i have a baseline from the R1 but it was never opened up in 43 years. The gun was totally neglected

Is it the New .905 27 coil one or the .860 spring. Use a new Vac seal. They are sized well for R1 and will shoot in fast.

Make sure to lightly ease the bottom outside rails of the shoe before install, a tiny file works to micro flatten them

ALSO YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED TO RELIEVE A TINE BIT OF MATERIAL ON THE REAR OF THE COCKING HOOK TO ALOW THE NEW SHOE TO INSTALL AND ROTATE DURING COCKING.
take just enough so the shoe lays flat and come on and off ..YOU WILL NEED A SMALL BELT SANDER OR 1 inch grinding wheel

I like things that are different and that certainly is. Ha that'd be fun to take to our UFT night match and have that light shine on the gun for every hit, lol.

Tom thanks for the info.

Would you please share how many shots per fill you're getting with the Venom before it went off reg or was it off reg already by 30 shots?

You'll be fine. Tanks do not "blow up" when filling them with a proper compressor such as one that is intended to do so regardless of age of the tank. Idiots on YouTube have tried to blow them up by shooting them with a firearm. No explosion, just twirling them around expending the air in the tank. What a waste of tanks.
The part that will fail first and is designed to do so is the burst disc. It's loud when it fails but no explosion. And burst discs can be replaced.
I use a 6.8L tank that expired four years ago and fill it to a full 310bar with with a Coltri gas compressor.

I recently jumped on the air train. Like last week. I currently have a FX impact M4, Notos , and am ordering a Huben GK1 today. Also, I purchased a GX4-I and a 6.8L tank from Air guns of Arizona. We live on ranch in West Texas and pretty much patrol the ranch nightly. Wither it be changing irrigation in fields, Varmint hunting with friends or my 4 kids. We have quite a few ranch vehicles. We also have a home gun range setup for pistol and LR and either my kids or I are their every day. We shoot burners alot... Having all this in mind, I am worried about having air supply handy. I would like to get some more tanks setup where I can mount them in some of the ranch buggies and maybe one at the range. How many of you that are filling at home worry about the DOT certification? My 6.8 L has it. But I see several on ebay etc. for half the prices that are only CE certified. I realize i would lose the ability to have a shop fill it. But i intend on buying a larger twin compressor for larger fills soon. Just wondering if it's worth the extra money for the DOT stamp in my case. Thanks!

CE certified tanks are safe. I would have zero concern. I have some mint condition expired Scott scba tanks from ebay and fill them myself. 15 year DOT certificate is expired on them but they will last 30 years.
When initially filling large tanks from zero Psi. Give the compressor a few breaks to cool down. Do it in stages 1500 psi stages

I heard the are good. Mixed reviews on Tuxing but took a chance.

Lightened pull weight on adjustable trigger.

I buy USED SCBA tanks all the time on EBAY and they are fine. I hope this picture puts this issue to rest for people. Here is a July 2010 45 min tank that just came off it's 15 yr service life showing it's passed it's hyrostatic test at 7500 psi! Let me say that again it PASSED it's cert test at 7500 PSI! As others have said WE as airgunners put FAR less stress on them that when they are used to fight FIRES. We are not strapping them on our backs, taking them into high heat environments or draining and filling them completely. I fill mine to about 4400 and refill again around 3200 which I what I suggest people do. Also they have a BURST disc which will releases high pressure long before the tank would fail. I have done it. Left a FULL tank in the sun like an idiot and BANG the disc let go and all the air come out tank was fine. The disc are IMPOSSIBLE to find to replace which is why I suggest you replace the valves with the cheap Chinese ones or the fancier ones if you want to spend the money like UA and others sell. Of course you always have to respect high pressure air but the used SCBA tanks used for fire fighting are fine just pick one that still seem okay and not all beat up or smoke stained. The one in the picture here I got for $50 which is the best price I have ever seen for a 45 min tank. I think the 45 min are just the right size for portability.

The new GX seperator/ filter is pretty good.

hi thank you for that, I do know about what to set it to, what we don't know is the screw underneath it's supposed to be turned so many way's but you can't do to much because it mess's with the regulator and won't work! that's the problem I'm having, you say set the pressure bar to 160? there isn't a 160 it only goes to 150 bar . that all im having trouble with because I've put it in my new rifle and the results are a joke even though it's not funny all the gun shop's are asking £200 just for them to look at it so I thought someone maybe able to help me on here

Well set it to 150 bar. But does the gun work without the regulator?

First eliminate a mechanical problem with the gun. If the gun works then go back to the regulator.

If as you say the power is minimal the regulator is adjusted too far to the low side. Take your time and turn the screw 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Test after each 1/4 turn. If you do not see any increase in power after 1 full turn then the regulator is most likely faulty.

I just realized you are UK 12ft lbs too.

Yeah I checked and something like 30 min run time recommended. But I still do 1/2 fill from empty on my rifles. It let's the pump cool and I can check for leaks. If you're like me, I don't fill from empty all that much so it's a minor inconvenience, that helps save the compressor.

It seems JSB missed a huge opportunity to deliver a 30 grain pellet in .25 caliber.

H&N has had a 30g pellet. At times I had good results with it at 70+ yards, but I believe that it’s slightly pointy head causes it to destabilize with any significant wind.

The AEA and JTS pellets have performed very well - competition is a great thing. Maybe JSB will finally address their 9 grain gap between 25 and 34 grain in .25 caliber.
