A couple weeks ago I ordered an extra 480cc tank from AOA. It seemed like it took forever just to ship,I was just about to call and cancel it..Well...I waited it out... to my surprise it came fully charged to 250bar...is this common?... definitely not upset about it, just really wondering if this is normal

I'd rather receive it full and not leaking rather than receive it empty just to find out it leaks.

I was pleasantly surprised...pretty much doesn't happen in our addiction

I bought a 66 cu ft scba bottle from a guy a long time ago. I received it with the guage reading 4500psi. I called the guy I bought it from and he said he always sends them full. I can only imagine what would happen if the neck got broken in transit.

If I'm not mistaken, cylinders that hold anything...including air are not supposed to be shipped full or with anything in them.

If the UPS, USPS, DHL, FedEx, TSA, DOT, want to, they can ask for the contents to be checked, that means, an empty cylinder.

They can be shipped legally 'ground " only

a bomb squad will be called in!!! That sounds super scary, one would think sending that kind of stuff empty makes good sense. Granted a small bottle should not have this kind of issues but why would anyone put others in that kind of risk?

I’m under the impression that AOA ships rifles like that. I received pcp rifles from them that were pressurized. In one instance I remember it being close to full (200+ bar) even though the card that arrived with the gun’s test group indicated that the tank had been emptied prior to shipping. When I called them about it and casually asked I was “assured” that this is a normal practice. I was honestly afraid for my delivery driver. My deliveries from them are shipped via ground meaning they are transported on trucks.

This sort of seems like a dangerous practice lol.. maybe I am over thinking it.
