Thanks for the detailed reply! The engineering sounds great, and it is good to know that the O-ring specs are in the manual and parts are available.

I hand-pump all my airguns and have been intrigued by the Huben pump for some time, but unwilling to spend the $ without hearing enough to know whether it would be significantly better than the two generic Chinese pumps I use now. Your review is greatly appreciated. I have a few questions: 1...

Same here, I rotate between two hand pumps after 40 strokes or so. Keeps the pumps cool.

I posted a WTB ad for a particular gun on another popular site and immediately received a pm from someone who said he had an "immaculate" one he would sell for what would be a quite reasonable price. When I asked for more details and photos he said he couldn't figure out how to post photos on...

Nice job on the stock, Jim!

Thanks, WorriedMan. I may be hijacking my own thread, but here's the story with my compressors: I bought a "Spiritech" brand cheap generic Chinese waterless compressor -- the small orange one that is marketed under a variety of different names. It soon pooped out (failed to make pressure). After...

I'm seeking information from any of you who have owned or used a Huben hand pump. They look well-made and compact. But are they, in your experience, any more efficient or reliable than the ubiquitous generic Chinese hand pumps that cost so much less? I hand-pump most of my PCPs, alternating...

The pressure gauge on mine looks like the photograph above. I can't tell whether there's a washer in there or not. Mine doesn't leak, but I did note that the manual advises the owner to tighten that gauge...

I realize the OP decided to get a compressor, but in case anyone else ponders the question in the title thread: yes, the 2021 Challenger is a very good candidate for hand-pumping. Pumping mine from 1000 to 3000 psi (maximum fill) is really no problem -- and I'm not big, or strong, or young.

So many great answers. There is something enchanting about airguns.

Hmmm... his first post in a three-year-old thread...

You mentioned the Crosman Challenger 2021 (model number, not year of manufacture). Good choice! I just bought a used one from a member here (thanks again, igolfat8). It is extremely accurate and easily hand-pumped to 3000psi and uses air very sparingly.

I'm old and pedantic and I like the way that English and American English are constantly changing.

That's really nice offhand shooting at 10 meters -- and outstanding performance for the cost. Well done!

Following this with interest...

Pirate, I look forward to your review of the Huben pump!

Congrats on the new rifle! The shooter isn't shabby either -- that is some very nice offhand shooting!
