Pumps are not advised! They pull water humidity (through pressure) into the working parts causing rust! Tanked air is dry! For this purpose. I was specifically warned against pumps for this reason.... have heard this from 3 very good sources...
Just bought this gun, went to charge it for the first time using a bottle, probe is securely in the quickfill hole, but gauge on the diving bottle goes right up to 232 bar, but nothing on the gun. Ive tried cocking the gun but still the air wont go into the guns tank?
As I can find NO means of contacting BSA to ask them, perhaps you can tell me... I am toying with buying a R10TH as my first (ever) PCP.i What fittings does it come supplied with? I intend buying a BSA compressor to fill it, but cannot find any information online for that either!!! Is it a straightforward connection to the BSA rifle, or do I need to buy any adaptor(s)? It seems VERY odd to me that a well known company like BSA has no means of being contacted for this information. It is putting me off buying BSA to be honest. I suppose Gamo are to blame, as they "own" BSA now, I believe.
It will come with a fill probe, you can then use a whip from your filling device with the appropriate end fitted. When you buy a bottle, they will ask what adapter you need, as different gun makers have different fill probes. Not too difficult.
Eventhough your fill pressure says a maximum of 232lb, that is a maximum. Most people in the know only fill their airguns to 200lb pressure, no more. This is plenty. Filling to 232lb will put undue pressure on your seals and all the working valves and mechanics of your air rifle, meaning they won't last as long. There is no need to fill to 232lb. Putting 232lb air pressure in your air rifle instead of 200lb isn't a good idea. Its a bit like installing a spring into a spring piston air rifle that is far too big for the cylinder. All the existing parts are placed under undue pressure.
Read the manual 232 bar is the recommended maximum. If you want to put 200 lbs in yours that's fine. But BSA say you can go to 232 BAR, so the system will be tested to a lot more. Saying the seals will be under more pressure is true, but it is well within the specification.
Hi mate. Nice straightforward explainer. However I’m having an issue with my new r-10 se. Hoping you might have a clue what the issue might be. Attaching my air tank. No leaks. Open the valve. Jumps to 180 bar. Refuses the add any more air than that, no matter how much the valve is open. Am I not setting the gun correctly, is that normal with a partially full gun, does it sound like a fault? I should point out I’m using a 3ltr 300 bar bottle so I’m given to understand that it’s more than capable of hitting the 232 bar fill pressure.
Julian Holtom Once you open the valve there is nothing to stop the air going into your gun, as the pressure in your bottle drops it will eventually be down to zero. A good sign that your bottle has gone down is when it won't fill your gun. Take it to your gun club or diving shop and they will check how much pressure is in your bottle. There is nothing else that would cause this to happen. Even though it's new, they may not have filled it to 300 bar. Check that it is a 300 bar rated bottle, some are only 200 bar.
OK, thanks. Seems the shop I bought it from was a little economical with the truth with regard to supplying a full bottle with every new PCP gun purchase. I'll be paying them a visit. Thanks for your help mate. Appreciated.
Can some one please tell me what are specs of fat Oring that sits inside regulator in fill valve on which ball bearing sits and also please let me know specs of oring under pressure gauge. These questions are for BSA R10 MK 2 .22 cal

Cheers mate. Just bought one and didn't know that I could just clip fill probe onto my mates bottle... he will be pleased lol.
Brilliantly explained buddy, thx.

Don’t think you mentioned the size of the cylinder , is it 5 ltr ? Thanks Shane uk 🇬🇧
Hi mate. Does the rifle come with the infill spigot?
@realcooking1833 Not really sure what you are asking there. You mean the fill probe?
@@JJandDad yes👍👍
@realcooking1833 It has a probe when you buy a new gun. Also a blank probe, keep the blank in the gun, it needs the valve clean.
@@JJandDad sound. Thanks for letting me know. I've ordered one today and already have a scuba tank so just wanted to check if I needed anything extra👍
@realcooking1833 You will need the right size "whip" on the scuba tank, the pipe and end piece to fit your probe. Not expensive.

Thank you for the heads up!
Cocked or un-cocked to fill?

Julian Holtom Sounds like your bottle is not full, if its not been filled to 300 bar or is running low then it may need a re-fill.
It seems pretty full to me mate, got tonnes of pressure. Also, it's new and it's the first fill I've had to do.

Maybe try BSA! Ask them, or go on an air gun forum. A question on a video post may not get a response. Good luck.
