Qys streamline heavy are awesome in my hw100.

Rice is working for me as a filler - clean cheap and heavy enough. Don't overfill the rear bag and you get a bit of squish to vary the elevation.

Sorry you forgot something. Vehicle Insurance to add to your costing on Dive Bottles. You can/will be in breach of your terms and conditions on your policy if you carry compressed air cylinders. You must inform and check with your Insurer if you can carry dive bottles/compressed air Cylinders. I have always used Pumps to Charge with.

Personally love LPVO scopes. Never going back to the usual telescopes

Interesting- thanks. I'll give it a try.

Really enjoyed watching this. I need to finish working on my Original 6g from 1980.

I have never seen a more disgusting job than this. Do not leave screws drowned in the wood. The screws are subject to oxidation and therefore over time it means rust. The wood absorbs humidity and sooner or later it reaches the screw. It just had to be attached with wood glue and then create dowels of the same wood on both sides of the stock. I fix guitars especially broken necks, I would never dream of fixing them with screws.

Nice video,i was checking for one in English language for long .most are made from latin americans .thanks .

Helth and safety gone a bit mad again nobody is going to grab hold of the wires or stick a screwdriver in the live bits with it switched on , ok point it out but there's no need to be so alarmist about it ,I've had one for 18 months not had a problem with it, just my opinion, 😁👍

I wonder is this stopping non-limited FAC FX Impact M4 .25 cal around 860-1000fps pellets and slugs?

ok I bought jts' dead center 25 grain domed in 22 for like $5 us a tin and bought some jsb monster hades in the same weight at $15 us a tin. to be honest the jts were every bit as nice or better than the jsb. they shot the same out of the rti p3. I use the domes for practice and tuning and the hades monsters for hunting/pest control. jts is quickly becoming one of my favorite pellet brands.

For targets with very clean holes to measure... Get some "Craft A4 Foam Board", dense foam sandwiched between card, about 5mm thick. Just stick your targets on the Foam Board. Added bonus, it's easy to see if pellets are tumbling vs paper just tearing

300 bar is huge amount of air pressure fora little box size compressor.

Hey are PCP air rifles worth it?

I’m loving this new direction…. I’m coming with you….

I'm getting into air power myself and given the title of this video I had to watch it! Videos like this sir has helped me massively save a lot of time and money and they are very appreciated!

Hey brother, thanks for the response! Sending you all the good juju to keep your calm and smash it on film. Winning your division is epic, can’t wait to see that vid when it’s out!

Great video,well presented. If the air corrodes the ball bearing that badly what is it doing to the internals of the gun. Same goes for the crud in the cylinder. Dive air quality must be safer for the reliability of £3k gun.

Hello brother, what modifications would the Air Arms XTI-50 require to comply with benchrest shooting regulations?

I have a very old and rare Daystate pistol, an original FAS AP604 and my fave Air match CU400 I rate the Air Match over the FAS.

Haha... I have been driven mad today trying to sight in my Steyr Challenge LG110 FT...it used to shoot like a laser but now in an indoor range at 32m it does a nice tight group and then a really horrible one! Took the air-stripper off and tried to get a base and still doing the occasional odd flyer or wider group...gave up..LOL. Pellets were JSB jumbos and tried heavier as it's a 24 joule gun. ....may bring the power down a little perhaps. But your video made it clear to me...a complete novice...that it happens even to the best of us!! Hahah!!...o ps...on your latest pistol obsession...perhaps look at the beautiful and amazingly accurate older 10m pistols...FWB65, FWB80, Walther CP2, etc...I have a collection of older pistols and they amaze me in their ability to shoot as well as a modern PCP! Cheaper and will always hold their value! 🙂

Even though I've no interest in buying one of these cheap compressors I really enjoyed this video, I think it's your best one yet. 👍

Regarding your comment on parallax error, I fight this issue on all my scopes as I have a heavy turn on the ocular lens to get the ret in focus. This definitely has an effect on the parallax wheel where the target will be slightly out of focus with parallax error removed. I wish I could buy a prescription lens to fit inside the front lens cover to allow the ocular lens to be centred as I cannot shoot wearing reading glasses. Any ideas welcomed!

these pellets suck there heavy ash and don’t work

Replace the ball bearings with stainless steel.

Brilliant video, i had the exact same compressor, it started shutting down at a 100bar and blowing the fuse. So did a complete rebuild, new seals, O rings, silicone oil, everything etc, switched it on, it's now pumping slower than before and still shutting down at 100bar, figured out the motor is burning out, my mistake trying to fill a 12ltr bottle! from 230bar to 290bar, took over an hour and 5 stops to cool, not a good idea, NEVER try and fill anything bigger than your rifle, i'll buy a new one for gun filling at home only, get your 12ltr bottles filled Professionally!!...

The WULF compressor from the UK costs around £399.95 and also has a 2 year warranty. As for your Tuxing price comparison with going to the local store for air fills, you forgot to add the cost of electricity to run the compressor. Maybe new piston rings would help the Tuxing?

I would consider changing the fibre washers on the small piston shaft. I had the nomad 2 pump and it wouldn't build pressure. Changing that solved my issue. Great video though, thanks.

This is a very funny yes a couple of days ago I rebuild mine. It looks pretty much like yours, except it’s orange on the top in the case of mine the main earring have broke first and they sent me a new one after guarantee but when I put it together, it wouldn’t pump up so I clean all the check valves and added a couple of drops of silicone oil it’s working now, but it does take a couple of minutes to warm up enough so I can pump Let me know how it goes with yours. I might need to put some silicone grease inside instead of silicone oil.

Do you think all that internal grime could be worn out piston ring? Mine has a pipe on the outer case leading to the compressor barrel I can drip silicone oil down. Yours seemed awfully dry inside.

I bought a tin of these to try, I didn’t get very good results either. The 10.4 grain .177 JTS are a different story. I’ve bought over 10 tins of those and they’ve been great in my Reximex, Brocock, and Diana.

Very interesting video! This is the first time I've seen the internals of a compressor up close and personal. I've been hand pumping my two PCPs for the past year, but at 69YO I'm fast approaching having to consider a compressor. This video taught me more than all the other research I've done online. Thank you SO MUCH! I always look forward to your work!

Yeah the smut inside the cylinder and fittings is micron size dust out of the air. Silicon oil can't "burn up" in this application but it can turn into a paste when mixed with small particles. It does indicate that better inlet filtering is required. That sintered metal filter is only enough to keep grit out, which would of course kill the compressor very quickly. I will be interested in seeing how that has been upgraded in later models. Overall I don't think this has changed my mind about getting one, not when I consider what the gun shop is charging me for just a hand pump.

Thank’s for looking at one of these compressors and showing how they are built & work . I’m not convinced they are safe with regards moisture/vapour getting transferred to the gun ! I know you have checked the bottle you use when filling your guns ,but are you sure water/vapour is not transferring into the cylinder on your actual gun 🤔Great vid !

He starts pistol shooting & puts out "bad equipment videos"... hmmm 😏 Where's the cooling!!!!! I wouldnt run that for more than 3min without letting it cool down. My cheapie has an insane fan on it that blows a gale & I still only use it for 5-10min at a time. The outside of components may feel cool, but those internal parts could be much hotter... cooling, cooling, cooling... Add a decent PC cooling fan on the side next to the cylinder as a minimum

It's not about the economy though yes they do pay for themselves and in my case make enough to cover the purchase of a new one. It's about the convenience and not having to waste half a day hanging around waiting for the dive shop to fill it. My advice is to buy the more powerful mains units like my New Warrior and at least a 3 litre bottle. Mine is perfectly capable of filling my 7 litre bottle.

My New Warrior 300 Classic is now almost five years old and has never missed a beat. Best £134 I ever spent AND it fills dive bottles as my shooting mates will confirm.

The black dust in the cylinder may have been dry lub?

Thanks for that. Really well explained. At some point I will succumb to a PCP and torn shoulde rmuscle of years ago says a compressor will be needed. Impressed really, overall well made and not deliberatel made un serviceable. All he bset to all of us for this year and onwards. Keith

That appears to be a 3 stage compressor. First stage is the big piston without the rod, the air goes through the short copper tube to the rod side of the big piston, then is forced from there to the small inner cylinder for the final stage. Be sure to lubricate the small inner piston and cylinder also.

interesting vid Tom, 👍 the thin metal flap is a reed valve

A very informative and interesting video. I do look at PCPs from time to time but am always get put off by what is required and the extra points of failure. Amazon around Black Friday were doing the Tuxing 63 for £230 and I think that model is the same as the Wulf. The Hills is approaching £900 and although may be good is not indestructible. While I have my health I will stick with springers as they have fewer parts than a toaster.

That " cylinder" looks a lot like a repurposed hydraulic cylinder.

Mines working fine just bought it a better version though there was no bottle price on top of the fills

Fascinating video. Regarding the 'knocking' as the bearing runs up and down the con rod, could you get the slot machined out at each end to prevent that? The bearing only presses the sides of the slot, not the ends so the length of the slot isn't critical.

I'd wager there aren't many viewers who would do that extensive a tear down! I sure wouldn't want to.

Wasted time and money on cheap compressors ,luckily all under warranty so forked out for a hills well worth the extra .I was told as a young apprentice cabinet maker ,a poor craftsman only buys the best tools as they will last a long time .

Great tear down. Thanks for the insight

Thanx fir the video, cheers. When my Nomad2 eventually dies I will be getting a cheap Tuxing to replace it, as you say taking into account time and fuel to get to dive shops etc, they pay for themselves and you have the independence and freedom to fill whenever.
