    Most desirable thing in the airgun world?

    An indoor 100 yard range, along with 2 high end scuba compressors.....in case one breaks down.

    Local Airgun Store (Return)

    You're very fortunate to have a local airgun store. If it were me, I would give the sale to the store and sell it in the classifieds. But, that's only because I'd be so grateful to have a local store and wouldn't mind spending a little extra to keep them in business. Hope this all works out for...

    Burning itch, the endless possibility of Panthera!

    $1200.00 and I'll order one today. Their asking price is just a little too steep for me.

    Having trouble filling air tank

    Newbie with a new compressor (Big Foot) and air tank (6.8L). After a minor issue, the compressor is up and running. However, when I try to fill the air tank, I must be doing something wrong. When I try to fill the tank from empty, it only takes 3 or 4 minutes, which seems incredibly short to...

    When life takes a hard left turn

    One of the members of the rock band The Eagles, Glen Frey, came down with RA. He eventually passed on. But, it wasn't the RA that killed him. It was the medications that they put him on that destroyed his immune system.

    DonnyFL Big Foot Compressor

    To be fair, DonnyFL did address my problem and provided a solution. I'm thankful that they had the part in stock and I didn't have to wait on a slow boat from China. I'm a happy customer at this point. Thank you to those who commented and helped. I really appreciate you folks.

    DonnyFL Big Foot Compressor

    You were correct about the nuts on the underside. I removed the gauge and the reason for the malfunction was immediately clear. It doesn't show up in the picture, but the metal housing is bent, preventing the internals from seating properly.

    DonnyFL Big Foot Compressor

    Thank you for your comment and advice. While this is a $1600 compressor, it's Chinese made and quality control is questionable. The three screws all turn freely in both directions with no movement in or out. There is access to the back of the gauge, so I'll figure out some way to remove it. I...

    DonnyFL Big Foot Compressor

    I've tried to email DonnyFL by their website contact form and by their email address. No response. I'd like to get this issue resolved and post a happy ending here, but my optimism is waning. I tried to contact the manufacturer but their email contact is only for dealers. DonnyFL has such...

    DonnyFL Big Foot Compressor

    Just received my Big Foot compressor that I ordered from DonnyFL. The card with the numbers on it in the pressure gauge is sitting at an angle, preventing the automatic shutoff from working. I figured I'd give them a call and sort this out, but there's no phone number on their website. I'll...

    Lube for GX CS3 Compressor and the like?

    A rainbow flag on a container of lube makes me somewhat nervous.

    California Airgunners

    I'm Max...up here in the REAL Northern California. So many people in Central California refer to themselves as Northern, but they're 300 or so miles south from here. I'm up here on the coast by the Oregon border.
