Well I finally went down the compressor rabbit hole and ordered some high pressure tanks. I’m sure they are aged out firefighter tanks. 30 minute SCBA units.
The plan is to borescope the internals and do a some remote pressure testing when they get here I have a steel pipe that’s capped on one end to put them in for pressure testing from a distance once I do my due diligence. Either it’ll be a great safety mechanism, or a pipe bomb….we’ll see which.
Hopefully it doesn’t end up being a decision I regret. But getting a year or five’s use out of these is what I’m hoping for.
I’ll be using the Yong Heng pump with a filter system…all the Chinese stuff makes me a bit nervous, but people seem to have good results.
This whole “saving money by shooting air rifles” instead of powder burners isn’t turning into quite the excuse I thought it’d be when I started lol…
Then I decided I “needed” a taipan veteran 2, so yeah. It’s no longer an inexpensive hobby. I’ll probably have more money into killing squirrels than they’ve ever cost me in damage…
