Air tank

A 300 bar, 4500PSI of the biggest size you can afford! 7L is apparently the most common due to size/weight, however if you go carbon fiber then the weight issue is irrelevant!

Get as big of an 4500psi tank that you can afford. I have the AV 98cf tank and it is not big or heavy but the extra fills are great.

I have an Omega 100cf and an Omega 75cf and the size difference is not very much.
Why two cylinders? After multiple fills, when the pressure in the first cylinder drops to below the pressure level that you want to fill your gun to, you can still use the first tank (with lower pressure) to “bulk re-fill” the rifle’s cylinder, then use the second cylinder (which has higher pressure available) just to top off the rifle to maximum pressure. In this way, you can get a lot more use of the air out of each tank. When their pressures drop down - but they still have a lot of air remaining in them!
