Just when I was getting back into the swing of things with airguns I discovered the only local source to fill my 100 cu. ft. Omega tank has closed shop. And no, the fire departments around here will not touch it. So now I'm faced with driving about 50 miles to fill it or buy a compressor. This is not good news!
A step back - no air!

I could be a real douche and say, "two words, man: break barrel"...
...but that'd be really crappy of me. Hope you can get something going that works for you.

I have one of those that I'll be using at EB this year. It's a vintage winchester 333 (Diana 60?). I'll be practicing with that until my air dilemma is figured out.

beeser. I answered your other post. If you can swing it. Get a compressor. It is a great feeling to be your own air supply. $1300 is a lot of money but so far it has been great not to rely on anyone else. I shoot so much more now and tune my gun whenever i want with no air worries. My only worry now is how to afford all the pellets I'm shooting. lol

Someone needs to figure out how to build a reliable automated hand pump for me ( with specs), so I can do something with mine besides watching it attract dust.

I was thinking you were from Arizona???? A while back this guy had a good deal on a Shoebox. http://www.airgunnation.com/topic/wts-shoebox-max-4500-psi-compressor-setup-in-phoenix-area/ Just a thought.

I purchased a Daystate 2 compressor from AOA in december.
It is a great compressor, and it takes about 5 minutes to top off either a SCBA from 3000 to 42 or 4300 psi.
5 min to top off scuba tanks 2400 to 3200.
I am also a diver so I wanted a good compressor with dry air and min time to fill the tanks.
The Daystate 2 is that compressor.
There are other options (less cost), compressor allows you to shoot as much as you want without being concerned about running out of air and the problems/inconvenience of finding/going to a shop somewhere.
A serious air gunner should have his own compressor, and being a diver as well it meets all my requirements.
Todd at AOA is their compressor Guru, a good guy.
Discuss your requirement with him.
