    Duty Cycle on Compressors

    My Daystate LC-110 manual advises that the duty cycle is 100 min run time followed by a 30 minute cool off period. I typically top off one 88 ft3 and one 66 ft3 tank and depending on the tanks starting pressure, it takes compressor 45 - 55 minutes to fill to 4500 psi. Now that ambient...

    what is the Best generic Amazon hand pump ????

    My experience with a cheap Amazon hand pump was not good. I bought a pump that was a little less than $50 and the fill hose burst the first time I used it. Failed at 3300 psi and apparently the shock of the fill hose blow out was enough that the pressure gauge permanently stuck at 3000 psi...

    SCBA tank boot

    Tank boots are sized coming in 6.7 - 6.9" and 5.5" diameter sizes. Measuring, its pretty obvious which one you have. Both of my 88 ft3 SCBAs are the larger size, pushing the 6.9" diameter. I just bought a tank boot for the used 88 ft3 Drager SCBA I just got. I got mine from an Amazon seller -...

    Carbon Fiber Tanks

    Thanks for the tip, that's a good deal in spite of the $12 tax charged at closing..... first time that's ever happened for me with an ebay purchase. If this is Washington state policy, I'll be avoiding ebay sellers from WA from now on.

    AGT Vulcan Uragun moderator

    I bought that moderator you mentioned from AoA. The hole in the end measures 0.39", so its pretty big and more than large enough for a 30 cal. For comparison, the DonnyFL Sumo that came with my 25 Tactic measures 0.31". This is sized up one size, ie if shooting a 25, get a moderator sized for...

    anyone purchase this?

    I bought one of those hand pumps linked above on Amazon. The fill line burst at 3230 psi the first time I used the pump. The pressure gauge failed also and was permanently stuck at a little less than 3000 psi. The Amazon seller offered me $18 to make up for the damages. The gauge alone is $20 on...

    DAYSTATE T2 COMPRESSOR VS 110V

    My wife worked in shipping for a major company and had nothing but trouble with shipping related damage to their large, heavy boxes. If you don't make the box damage proof some how, its going to likely wind up damaged. They had some luck going to wooden crates or plastic 55 gal drums but due to...

    DAYSTATE T2 COMPRESSOR VS 110V

    After a less than enjoyable experience with a Hatsan Lightning compressor and a lot of additional research, I ordered a Day State LC-110 compressor May 22 this year. My timing was poor since AoA ran out of LC-110's before my order was filled and I didn't receive my compressor until July 19...

    How hot is too hot?

    I've just gotten my LC110 after a near 2 month wait for them to come back into stock at AOA. I'm not in any hurry to run it since we're in the middle of our Houston summer air you can wear weather. I've read the quirky manual that came with the compressor a few times. Only thing I've seen...

    Air Tank Refill Houston Area

    I live in west Houston. After calling 10+ places listed on the internet advertised as being the closest to me, I gave up trying. The only shop that said he could and would fill to 4500psi was a paintball shop and according to his reviews, he wasn't someone I wanted to deal with. I bought my own...

    Hour/Use Meter Recommendations

    I had trouble getting the motorcycle / ATV vibration hour meter to work on the Lightning compressor I had. This meter has a variable sensitivity setting and putting it on the hi sensitivity setting solved the not reading problems. I also placed the meter on what would be the bell housing where...

    Hand Pump 101

    I originally bought a Hatsan Lightning compressor when they were first released. It turned out to be a lemon that over heated, reaching the 195F temperature limit in about 10 minutes where I would shut down to avoid jeopardizing the warranty way short of the pressure I wanted. I filed a customer...

    Hand Pump 101

    Started with a Hatsan 3 stage hand pump, not knowing better (at least found one way under list price...) pumping for an AT44 rifle to 200 bar. Has a small air reservoir and was not that bad as soon as you realized how to bring your body weight to bear. Bought a another rifle, this one was 300bar...

    Refurbs?

    Both of my Hatsans are refurbs, an AT44 QE Long and a semi auto Barage. I've had no problems with either rifle. The Barage has been a reliable semi auto shooter, it has yet to fail to fire that next shot. Neither rifle had any blems of any kind, either on the stocks or on the metal work. One...

    Whats maximum run time on hatsan lighting?

    I had a Lightning compressor that always overheated. It filled my 45min SCBA in either 3 or 4 tries from empty (SCBA was new to me and arrived empty). Compressor would take at least 2 tries when it was used to top off from 3000 to 4500. That said, the Lightning compressor is designed to fill...

    Compressor have oil smell.

    I had a Lightning compressor that had such severe overheating issues I had Hatsan refund me when they issued a return for it. In spite of overheating, it didn't cause odors in the house where I ran it. I used the Royal Purple Synthetic compressor oil. Weird thing though was the compressed air...

    Any PCP Airgunners in Houston???

    West side of Houston, here. Backyard shooter, or at least have been when weather permits...Mostly my 22 Hatsan Barage, but will soon start up with my new 25 Vulcan 2 Tactic. Have a new dog in the neighborhood (as in next door...) that just might affect my backyard shooting.
