    Compressor vs Carbon Tank

    Mike I got my CF bottles confused. I just went back over and looked at the 9L bottle and am I correct it only weighs about 6lbs. If so, I think that will work. I just need to do more research on the CF bottle weights so I understand them better. Thank you for the info!

    Compressor vs Carbon Tank

    Thank you for the info on the Yong Heng compressor, 9L CF tank and the fill times. I know I want a little smaller than the 9L. The only one I have seen was a little larger than I had hoped. Thanks for the details on the moisture filters. I have always used two types of filters on my paint...

    Thanks for the info on the MSA Firefighter SCBA cylinder. I do not know much about them so I will do some research. I am guessing that the reason for the intervals is to let the compressor cool down. Is that correct?

    Thanks for the info on compressors. This type of compressor is totally new to me. I am beginning to think that the home base unit and a CF tank to take with me is the way I am headed. 7-8 refills is exactly what I need. Thanks for taking the time to help steer me in the right direction.

    Thanks for the heads up about 12v. I had not considered that being an issue. I do like the idea of not having to deal with the scuba shop. I also like the idea of being able to fill it at home.

    Yes, they should but I will call to verify tomorrow. I do not know enough about carbon tanks to answer with 100% accuracy.

    What type of compressor do you have? Do you like it? What size bottle? How long approximately does it take to fill a bottle?

    Compressor vs Carbon Tank

    I hope these answers help somewhat. I get a loss of accuracy at about 40 shots. I usually refill between 40-50 shots. The cartridge on the CZ 200 fills to about 180 bars (2610psi). I do not know the low end pressure because I usually refill when the accuracy falls off. We usually shoot...

    My CZ 200 is extremely accurate up to about 40 shots on a good day the groups are about a dime at most on a bad day about a quarter. I did think about a second cylinder but I would still need to refill to keep the accuracy up. Thanks for the input, i guess my next step is to learn about the...

    I would carry the tank to a dive shop across town to get it refilled.

    Compressor vs Carbon Tank

    Thank you for the reply. Most of my shots are from a bench either at home are at friends houses. However, we do hunt for rats as the need arises usually near a Silo or barn. I get very good accuarracy update to about 40 shots. 40-50 I lose my groups and after that it falls off. The gas...

    Compressor vs Carbon Tank

    I am getting older and carrying a scuba tank around is just not comfortable anymore. I am going to start shooting again after about a ten year absence. I see they now have small portable compressors available that could possibly be used onsite. For those who have them are they good enough to...
