Adding a desiccant filter to any compressor makes for a safe, reliable, easy to come by source of clean moisture-free clean air. The Alpha will work, as will most other brands too. My compressor is s Shoebox so I filter before the compressor, but if I were looking to buy a post compression...

Ditto on above. I'll also add that you need to know some info about each gun as a data point - I believe the K1 has had three different sources of barrels in it over the years, along with other changes. They don't all behave in a similar manner in terms of ammo and power vs. accuracy.

One big thing to remember with tariffs is that the full bill is due to the government when the shipment clears customs. Depending on where the items are coming from (and thus the tariff rate) that can be a huge cash outlay long before any sales occur. It's possible for retailers to have...

If you are doing a proper job drying the air on the input to the Shoebox compressors, there is no need for the post compression Daiblo filter - once the water vapor has been reduced from the air to a sufficiently low level, it's gone and not coming back. Taking it out of the system will reduce...

A couple of thoughts on the issues of liners and PMVs . . . lots of bad info out there, much of it spread by one who refers himself an airgun scientist, but is really more of a marketing dude . . . On liners, they are probably a good idea, but even without one it's not like the cylinder is just...

It says it is only 200 bar . . . probably would need a booster pump too. At least there is plenty of compressed nitrogen to run it! ;)

Would you consider a Huben K1? Very ambidextrous, and no cocking. An earlier post mentioned the Sidewinder, and I have both (but I'm a righty), and I would not want to shoot the Sidewinder left handed if I had a beard. The Huben is a quieter gun with a better shot cycle, but the mag is not...

That helps . . . It sounds like you are probably shooting .25 caliber at pretty high power, so you will be using a lot of air. Not as much as big bores, but still using a pretty good amount per shot. I'll provide a bit of an explanation to help you understand it better. When thinking through...

The activated charcoal is removing VOCs from the air stream (some of which do have an odor; some do not). Since we are not breathing the air, we technically don't need that function - but I suppose removing VOCs could be good for the o-rings and any plastic used in valve seats. That could be...

Lots of assumptions being made in responses here . . . I think it best to get more info to really answer. Could be a team shooting 10M, or running a range and wanting to provide air, or a serious individual shooter - who knows. The key is to figure out the average air usage per shot and then...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm aware of the complexities of SNR, but I've only used my LarRadar in one location so far, other than some tests indoors. I'll be sure to check out how it can change when I get the chance to use it in other locations, and I'll do some work on mapping out the best...

I don't recall any version of Tom's Shoebox compressors that used air power to run the Shoebox. I think all of them always used an electric motor to drive the pump. Is it possible that you are recalling a discussion with a company like Altoros that made a booster pump that worked as you describe?

From your list, the only chronograph I have experience with is the LabRadar, and that is only about six months worth. The biggest thing I can say is that I absolutely agree with @karl_h - you have to at least look at least a few traces of detailed data for pretty much every shooting situation...

@JimD I like your screen idea, and may try it myself. I've just been dumping the whole mess from the target box into a large storage bin (the big black ones from Costco) and shaking it to get the lead to the bottom and the lighter stuff on top. I then hit it with a blast of air from a leaf...

The text of your reply in post #40 is kind of hidden in the quoted post info (happens some times), so I'll repost it here to make it easier to see - that is some of the most significant data I've heard in the ongoing debate on the use of expired tanks . . . . "They did it without hesitation...

If you know that you are not going to start with a compressor and will be filling at a dive or paintball shop, I'd suggest the first thing you do is find the shop that you intend to fill at and find out what they need for you to do it. That will let you figure out what is best to buy - some can...

OK. Now with @rcs9250 's comment about the hard brass collar possibly bottoming out, I have another new hair brained idea - sand down the full base of the part to get more engagement wht a little more turn of the knob . . . If the brass does extend past the plastic (like in rcs9250's...

Here is another hair-brained idea - what if you heated up the plastic insert part with a heat gun? Might it flow back to flat, or seal better when reinstalled? If it is already dead, it might be something to try . . . If it sounds stupid, no worries . . . ;)

I can't help - too far away. It sounds like you would be better served in having the right people that can help you if you re-titled your post to something at least like "Looking for help on finding a source for HPA locally in Puerto Rico" . . . .

Not even close to being comparable . . . the LCS is a select fire air gun, meaning it can be used either in semi-automatic or fully automatic firing mode. So if one wishes, it can shoot the full magazine in a few seconds with one pull of the trigger. Also discussed in this post are the Rattler...
