I dead headed the hose so can turn it full open to closed a few times a day. I’m using silicone oil from Magnum Air Power. I don’t know as long as it’s pure silicone oil there is much difference from one brand to the next but maybe there is.

So far the silicone oil hasn’t made much difference. I have the tank sitting vertical to get gravity to help.

With the exception of trying for max fpe in any caliber higher pressure has a lot to do with more consistent shots. Most higher pressure guns are regulated to a lower pressure. For example a gun filled to 3300 psi but regulated to 1900 psi is basically the same as a gun filled to 3000psi and...

I think benches have to be broken into 2 categories. Permanent and portable. The best portable will only be a 7 compared to a concrete bench on a long range powder burner range. Portable benches to me vary so much because some are designed to pull out of your truck, set up and shoot. Then there...

Anyone have a recommendation for a 1/8 npt psi pressure gauge? I see some on Amazon for $15-20.

Pyramid Air called me back this morning. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with and I am sorry I can’t remember the guys name off the top of my head but Pyramid Air should be proud of his response. He said the valves can sometimes be improved with pure silicone oil. Take the sticker off...

I talked to Pyramid Air today and am waiting for a call back from tech support. If they agree to letting me try to adjust the valve tension without voiding the warranty I’ll give that a try. My next thought (besides returning the tank) would be to regulate the output to 3000 psi to prevent any...

It’s not trouble to fill the gun it’s getting the valve to turn open or closed easily

I just got my first carbon fiber tank. It’s the Air Venturi 74 cu ft. How stiff should the valve be to turn? I have to hold the tank from spinning when I try to open or close the valve. Makes it very hard to control the flow when filling a gun. I’m not a big fan of the pressure gauge. Can I...

Did you find out the thread size? Did you find a new gauge? I would like to change mine to a gauge that is in psi and easy to read.

Great video! I had a blast being there. Can’t wait for next year!

Don’t forget Northeast Airguns. They just held the Northeast Airgun Classic.

I can’t get that shot count and power from my Bandit

Use a Dremel to carefully cut a slot in the head. The used flat bladed screwdriver to remove it

$500 for gun? Or gun, air source and scope?
