    Wish I had gotten one of these doohickies sooner

    I saw yours, I liked it, so I got them. The lateral sled has a cabinet door bumper in each corner to prevent sliding and I used double-sided tape to anchor the jack to the sled. Works even better when a jack is used up front also. I really only use the rear bag with wood stocked rifles. A piece...

    Lyman bag and jack up front. Rear has vertical and lateral. Got rear pieces from Alibaba or AliExpress, under laboratory jack. Rear lateral has 60mm total travel.

    Adding water inside your CS4?

    @markhooper, here's the url to the thread @MACTEN started on the GX CS4. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/gx-cs4-i-arrived.1308003/

    Adding water inside your CS4?

    Per @markhooper the CS4 is a cheap knockoff of the Omega Trail Charger, but per @MACTEN GX makes the Omega Trail Charger. So, is GX making a cheap knock off of their own product? It's quite possible. Or is the Omega Trail Charger just an overpriced CS4?

    Adding water inside your CS4?

    You didn't do the test correctly. The test requires 250cc (could be 500cc, I don't recall) of water to be poured in as fast as the pump can handle it.

    Anyone bought a GX-CS4 from Aliexpress?

    Or just use prediluted 50/50 Dex-Cool Antifreeze Coolant. Easy to obtain and inexpensive. A gallon should prove to be a lifetime supply.

    I never said T1000 was a magical coolant that was above all others. Just said it worked and it has colors.

    Nope, there is no downside. The CS4 cooling system functions no different than a PC cooling system and contains dissimilar metals and other materials like PCs.

    Actually, pure distilled water will leach minerals out of system and eventually galvanic corrosion will wreck havoc with dissimilar metals in the system. Use a coolant made for water cooled PCs or a car antifreeze that will be friendly with the materials in the loop.

    Get some Thermaltake T1000. It's made for water cooled PCs. It contains anticorosives and antibacterial agents. Perfect for the GX CS4. Lots of colors to choose from.

    The AC-to-DC adapter that comes with the GX CS4 is available on Amazon and so is the replacement they sent me. Yeah, my 1st one had a bit of an issue, kinda, sorta, but the replacement is peachy. It's just an AC-to-DC adapter guys, no rocket science involved. There are a good number of ppl out...

    Anyone bought a GX-CS4 from Aliexpress?

    Not a worry of mine. I mainly top off CF tanks and the pump setup is within eyesight about 20 ft away. I build high end gaming PCs and have smoked more than one during overclocking trials. Fire extinguishers are always at the ready. Stuff happens, ya just need to know how to deal with it. Sorry...

    Anyone bought a GX-CS4 from Aliexpress?

    I bought my GX CS4 from gxpumpofficial.com about a month ago. I removed the red cover, emptied water reservoir, disconnected and emptied all the water lines, plus the radiator, then filled the water reservoir with distilled water. I connected the compressor to the AC-to-DC adapter and plugged...
