And my wife and I worked at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, CA until its closure notice came down in 1993. Mostly fast attack Los Angeles Class subs were build and overhauled but we did get some Ballistic Missile types at times with an occasional surface ship under our nuclear licensing...

Stan's Boy, I also worked in a type 2 government Cal Lab for a few years and then on to electronics on the nuclear subs until early retirement forced by a shipyard closure. I kind of figured that the gauges were pretty much garbage. So, I think I will fill the rifle using its gauge and hope I...

OK, not sure what you can learn looking at them, but here they are. The focus is a bit of/close for the camera. Also, the rifle gauge did not stick at any point and had a very smooth and gradual climb.

I have been an active shooter (targets/outdoors) for years. I am 76 and my wife decided I needed a new toy and had me buy a Hatsan Flash, then a compressor, then a scope, adapter for the compressor and the like. The rifle has some silencing and I can shoot in my large back yard without...

New at this~~~I have a question. I went to charge my rifle (new) Hatsan Flash with the typical Chinese A3 compressor I decided to buy. I am sure just how accurate the gauges are on this equipment but setting the compressor to shut down at 2000#, the rating of the rifle, the gauge on the rifle...

I finally got the correct adapter that fits my compressor quick disconnect. I remember years ago with my garage/tools compressor that there were two different sizes made and they were not interchangeable. Hey, at least my problem is solved anyway.

I will note that this is not the first time in my life that I have had problems with sizing for quick disconnects. Years ago I found that the larger quick disconnects (longer) used commonly in air compressors have, to understand different lengths. You just have to be careful about what you...

I have that adapter on order so I hope it fits. My wife gave me the rifle as a gift. Years ago I did long range precision shooting. At my age now I am not sure I can hold a rifle on target but I will find out. Yes it's expensive but at least I can well afford it. Retired for many years now and...

The nipples on the parts I ordered are longer than the ones supplied with my Chinese compressor. The differnce in length is less than .5" to nearly .6" of an inch. The ones I ordered will not lock into place due to their length. And a picture would not show you much.

I measured what was supplied with the adapters supplied with the compressor and they are shorter than the ones that I ordered and fit fine. And even they are a tight fit. I measured the ones I ordered and they are just a bit longer.

Not sure what I ordered but the quick disconnect nipple is too long to snap into place. Not sure what size quick disconnect nipple I need now.

Thanks, I think that one will work to solve the problem. I will order one.

I was given a Hatsan Flash as a gift a few months back. After looking at ways to fill the gun I found the best solution for me was to just buy one of those Chinese compressors. Getting too old to carry around tanks and we live quite a ways out to get to any shop. Then I ordered a scope for it...

After reading and such I decided to just bite the bullet and buy one of those mini compressors. I am a long distance from a paintball or scuba shop and I don't want to be bothered with certifications on the tanks and such. Money wise I spent a little extra on this...

Thanks for the posts, they are very informative.
