Almost all of those bottles have an M18 x 1.5 thread on them, but some mount via a separate valve that allows the bottle to be removed while still having air in them. My bet is that you bought a bottle that fits if you put the right valve part in it. Typical with Chinese advertising - they...

Jim nailed it - there was no upper limit of recommendation until after the K1/K2 models were in the market for a while. This was thoroughly discussed in another post a few months back: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/gx-cs4-cs4-i-duty-cycle-update-from-manufacturer.1327813/

Here is some info on water in compressed air I wrote up, and it will help educate you more so you know what you are looking for - two posts, back to back, numbers 34 and 35: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/moisture-in-pcp-airguns.1321274/page-2#post-1839752 The whole topic has lots of...

OK, but I thought the pain of purchase is short, while the joy of ownership is long . . . ;) Seriously though, I'm not trying to do so. I'm just answering questions . . .

I'll second the sentiment about the ability to potentially stop with a quality springer in the post #25 above. In my case, I bought a fairly cheap Crosman Chinese springer (a Quest) to deal with a groundhog issue I had at the time, and it just was not good enough to meet my needs - no amount of...

It is easy to do - you don't even need the check valves in the line, as air pressure is "self balancing" and will flow where needed to balance the pressure in the system. I use a Stikman fitting as my splitter...

I'll offer up another alternative, but sticking with the same compressor choice. I do this based on what you seem to be after - knowing you will get a good compressor and not having to deal with any service issues. That has a such a compelling need for you that in your case you are already...

Not to hijack this, but @thammer - could you check and respond to my messages to you on the 3 Groove 16:1 twist Huben barrel you were working on for me? We are ~12 weeks down this path and I'd like to know the plan to get it done and also get the factory barrel back. I hope you are doing...

Good question - better to ask than to ignore it and learn the hard way . . . I'd start with two of the posts I wrote in the linked thread that explain what you are asking in pretty good detail. The link goes right to the first one, and then the second post is the one immediately following it...

Just wondering what you did with the others acquired along the way? What became of the Sidewinder, Daystates, and others?

I agree that ideally you would want to isolate the desiccant from ambient air, as it will pull moisture out of it and reduce its life that way. Also, there may be water droplets in the compressor (post compression) and in the hose to the desiccant filter, and those will get adsorbed by the...

Even if the seller priced it at 10% of what he is asking, the price would be too high. His problem is that while the gun started out as a collectible one, it has seen way too much use and is too worn to be in a collectable condition. There also are no photos of the original documentation on...

Close, but not quite - plus calling it "moisture" is kind of confusing in itself, as we really need to differentiate it into the two phases we deal with here: gaseous or liquid. First, lets accept two basic facts of the physics: 1) We draw air into the compressor, and if we are doing it with...

The portable tank might be the way to go if you want speed - the 10 gallon one should hold enough air to top off all four. Here is the one I have - the aluminum is nice and light compared to the steel ones, but steel is cheaper...

While I still don't think it is worth it to do so (why put the wear on our expensive compressors when regular ones are so cheap), your idea of doing it via a tank is probably not a bad way to go. I have an aluminum 10 gallon portable tank, which translates to about 37 liters in volume - so...
