I must admit that I am primarily a gunpowder gun shooter, easily 80% of my time and while I have numerous "Air Guns" of various types and models, not one of them is a PCP or HPA. To really be into it, you have to invest into a really really good compressor, and those babies can run into $1k. I'd rather spend a $k on another SIG Sauer or CZ combat match pistol in 9mm or 40ACP than a compressor. I've been shooting Air Rifle and 10meter Air Rifle National Match since a kid and even at 72 I still do in the "Senior Class" and am still using my 32 year old German Feinwerkbau 300 series which uses 2 CO2's, high-tech for its day. It's on its 11 replacement barrel, that is a LOT of pellet shooting to "shoot out" that many barrels. I think all the current 10 m match rifles are PCP these days.
Most of our practice shooting using the replica Crosman's or others, you have to change magazines after 25/26 shots, just as you would with a real firearm, so an HPA conversion is completely impractical. Actually, most of the time we only (with the Crosman's) only use 1- CO2 in the mag and we still get 60 to 80 shots for a single CO2. Each of us has at least 4 to 6 magazines.
Good luck on your HPA conversion. There are a couple Crosman HPA Conversion threads running irregularly over on the "GTA" Forum. You might want to look for those.
