I just purchased a 20 gauge air shotgun, it didn't come with a gauge, was thinking of taking the fill port out and trying to put a t maybe and then the fill port back on. Any ideas guys?
Gauge on a shotgun that has not

If it's the 3000psi fill PBBA air shotgun-457 that only gets 3 shots so a manometer wouldn't make much sense just fill it then if you can just count to three then you refill.
When in doubt just fill to 3000psi then shoot three shots and refill or leave it then only refill when ready to shoot another 3 more shots.

I was mainly thinking for leaks, and was using it and was forgetting how many shots I had fired

By adding an outside adapter with manometer you are introducing additional potential leak points.

If I owned such a gun I would make it a habit just to refill it every time I grab it before I go shoot and I would not fill it after I am done when putting it away.
By adding a junction and manometer you are effectively introducing more external foreign introduced potentially very possible leak points for sure.

Knock on wood, but I haven't noticed any leak concerns on mine. It's a fun gun though.
Here's a potential idea though. When the pressure in your line meets the pressure in your gun on the way up, you hear that click in the fill port opening. You could fill to 3000 psi. and disconnect. If you grab your gun a week later, hook up to the fill fitting, and you hear that click at 2500, then you would know it has leaked down between sessions.
