In need of advice...
Between my self, my wife and my father. We now own 5 pcp air rifles, All bought with in the last 3 months. We have the bug....
My self i have the umarex gauntlet .25 and hatsan flash .25
Both have different fill ports
Im using this CHEAPO pump. HIRAM High Pressure Hand Pump https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RJR24X3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
1. Is there a quick connect system i can get that will work for both fill adapters? This is getting to be a pain and also taking it on and off it starting to ruin threads.
2. Currently all 5 air guns are being filled with this cheap pump, I need something better, that is a hand pump... This one is getting wore out fast! Recommendations?
3. My father is 62 and sick of the hand pump, and wants an electric pump... something user friendly. I know they are expensive and u get what u pay for, but looking around 500$ max or cheaper if possible, and amazon.com? lol
4. A friend of mine has an few scuba tanks, he said i can have them, but they are probably out of date...Is it possible to have these rebuilt and is it worth it?
5. What do people normally prefer when it comes to FILLING. This is my option, Hand pumping is fine, but after shooting 300 pellets and refilling 20 times, it starts to take the fun away from it (not real numbers just example) And between 3 people, shooting everyday, we shoot a LOT! I consider buying an electric pump for 500$, but then i see i can buy a good tank for 400$ and just get it refilled...Where? i have no idea but im sure i can find some where... What is better? whats better for a lot of use? is one safer? does one produce better or cleaner air? is one better for my guns compared to another style? Im so lost from the filling aspect. what i bought my cheap hand pump, i never knew i was going to get so into air pcp air guns.
Today, while pumping, i noticed a small air leak where i screw and unscrew the fill adapters, no issue, BUT, there was bubbles... Is this cheap pump, pumping water into my gun? no no that wont work... I certainly dont want to keep spending more and more on these guns to find out im rotting them from the inside out.
Sorry for this post being all crazy, im sure someone can make sense of it!
