Northwest Pennsylvania-where to fill a tank

[bat54action]

I am trying to locate a place close to me to fill my carbon fiber tank. I live in western Pa, and I am right at the interstate 79 and 89 interchange. My zip is 16137.

Can anyone help me out?

Check local welding/fire extinguisher business,

Try your local volunteer fire department. Many of them have compressors. Take them a can of coffee. Take your rifle too. Might find a new shooter of two.

I was using my local fire department, and have been for the past 10 years. But with all the restrictions with people hanging together they have elected not to do it.

I used to live in Erie during the Eisenhower Administration, but now live just under the Arctic Circle. I went through the same search for an air source and received similar helpful suggestions regarding fire houses and welding shops. Welding and dive shops here could not fill to 4500PSI. Fire houses where dependent on who was at the shop - some would and some wouldn't. The same with local rifle clubs. Rather than being like Blanche in A Street Car Named Desire and being dependent on the kindness of strangers, I ended up buying my own HPA compressor. Shipping was criminal, but the convenience so far has been excellent. I mainly just fill small cylinders for 10M pistols, but it is sweet to fill them easily.

The reality is that I would prefer to just have a large carbon fiber tank and not mess with a compressor IF I had a reliable and dependable source of air. But I don't, so that is why I make my own air.

Best wishes in your journey.
