    Burst disc seal or no seal

    But wouldn't using a higher rated burst disk not unlike inserting a higher amperage fuse because the lower one blew, i.e. is that wise?

    My mind says buy this

    I've never had to load their app to view tracking. i just use the supplied tracking number into commercial web tracking engines. Once the package hits stateside USA most times USPS took over so I rely on their tracking notification

    My mind says buy this

    I avoided that for quite a few years. Then I took a leap and was careful in selecting items which were pretty simple in design and less likely to fail, require seller replacement, careful investigation of end user reviews etc. So far, it's been 3 years and I've not experienced any...

    Benjamin Marauder Pistol Huma Regulator install issues

    I seriously considered the regulator mod but after reading what one needs to do to retrofit the unit I opted to enjoy the pistol in stock form. I didn't feel the tradeoffs were worth it for me as a beginner PCPer

    Huben Hand Pump

    What....you don't have a box full of ziploc type parts bags that you've been saving for years? ;-) When I unzip my tennis bag I carry my Marauder PRod in, i have separate zip envelopes for small screwdrivers and hex wrench, o-rings, moderator, Foster fittings, etc.

    Huben Hand Pump

    I had a similar experience with the Huben hand pump and Amazon purchased Foster adapter (psssst) even when I tightened it down with a grunt...almost as if I bottomed out on the threads. On a whim, I doubled up on the washer and it seem to resolve the problem. Perhaps the adapter was...

    omega 18 cu ft tank with new hp3 valve issues

    I was too new at PCP to be aware of the Ninja twin dial valve otherwise I likely would have purchased that. Insofar as filling the airgun via bottled air, I would think it is best practice never to quick fill by a simple twist of the valve knob but to only slowly release the air. Since it's...

    You're replacing the airgun? Which one is it (I may have missed if you IDed it).

    omega 18 cu ft tank with new hp3 valve issues

    Yikes, at the price of that gauge assembly, I'd expect top level QC. I hope the vendor would make good on it and provide a replacement. My HP3 functions wonderfully in air control and gauge accuracy the 3 weeks I've owned it now.

    omega 18 cu ft tank with new hp3 valve issues

    Something is not right, for sure. Valve obstruction, fitting plugged up, etc. I'd try to work from one end of the food chain to the other. If you have another PCP airgun... even an empty air tank, you can try swapping out components and testing scenarios. Eventually, you should be able to...
