    97cf carbon fiber fill tank condemned for a couple cracks in the thread

    I would contact the tank manufacturer and explain the situation to them. They may recommend a trusted shop where you can get a bonified inspection and a hydro performed. Who made the tank? If it was made outside of the USA, I would be a bit uneasy about it's reliability. However, since we...

    New tank owner - likely stupid question ( but I ain't shy . . . lol )

    JDanvers, you might find this calculator useful until to get your own compressor. https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/Tanks/FillCalc.html

    Energy variations from a rifle, depending on pellet weight

    While throwing all this math around is fun. It is pure speculation unless proven velocity differences can be established with a Chrony. Reason being, the gas check on different brands of pellets can make a significant difference in the result calculated. Another factor to consider is rate of...

    what fps does your jsb's like?

    This thread died with no resolve posted. i was watching a video from an interview at the FX Factory in Sweden, and they say that every gun is tested to shoot MOA or better at 50 yards. The OP never said whether or not he cleaned the barrel. I find these accuracy issues very surprising if...

    Advice needed for 4 year old Omega Air Charger

    Lenweber2: Thank you for your opinion. I don’t want to seem cheap, but then again I don’t really know how much sweat equity I may have to invest in this compressor.

    Advice needed for 4 year old Omega Air Charger

    I ran across a guy that has a 4 year old Omega Air Charger for sale. And he isn't a PCP Fan, as a matter of fact he came to possess this unit as a friend moved away and evidently couldn't take it on the move. The Compressor runs and will build and hold air up to at least 4300 PSI, and seems to...

    Why do seller tell folks to pay PP fee?

    Here is an example of a good reason to use Paypal if you don't know or trust your seller completely. A few years ago I bought $3500 dollars worth of Lady Liberty Silver Dollars with buy it now, and paid through Paypal. The seller sent me the copy of a US Mail Shipping Label as proof that the...

    Never realized barrel gets this dirty!

    It’s not that the pellets are dirty. The pellet or any projectile traveling down a barrel is going to leave traces of the said projectile on the inside of the barrel. if you want to better understand this scenario Take a pellet and a cleaning rod and push the pellet through the barrel. Once you...

    Never realized barrel gets this dirty!

    Lubing the pellets with Break Free CLP seems to keep the barrel much cleaner, and shooting accurately longer. I think the overall accuracy has improved. A dry patch after an increase in flyers usually tightens the grouping back up.

    Omega Air Charger Rebuild

    Thank you AirGunShooter, and others for the helpful and detailed info. Seems to me that the Omega is a viable option for the user that would like an Air Compressor that is rebuildable, and with proper care is capable of providing long service life in between overhauls.

    Omega Air Charger Rebuild

    Airgunshooter, Glad to hear that you are getting such good service from your Air Charger. Did you do the rebuild yourself, or send it off? If you ave time please share the details. I'm beginning to think that this design is continuously rebuildable. My only concern is the piston/crank to...

    Alpha carette compressor

    Wow, this is not what I wanted to hear about the Alpha Carette. I just happened to think that I saw something about residual water pooling on top of one of the pistons in a tear down video that JoeB made. It seems like it was on the high pressure side of the arrangement. I think Joe-B suggested...

    Omega Air Charger Rebuild

    Thanks for your reply AirgunBill, I have seen similar usage levels like what you mention also. I think you may have just had a unique and isolated type of failure. If those balls that came out are hard rubber, I would speak with the guy at Omega and find out what the exact diameter is supposed...

    Omega Air Charger Rebuild

    The more I look at those rebuild videos for the Omega Compressors, the more convinced I am that they are actually a pretty smart piece of engineering. It looks to me like a person that is fairly handy can rebuild this unit multiple times. Having rebuilt my hand pump, it appears to me that this...

    WTF Airgun Depot???

    Did you get any resolution to the problem yet? I find it hard to believe that any company leader would let something like this continue. Definitely creates a cloud over the company.
