Tuning AA s410 extra FAC Nozzle?

[johnwoitalla]

I took her out of the cave and brought her back into the light. Checked the fill level-it’s at about 75bar. Which tells me she ain’t leakin because it’s been like that for about 15 years. Problem, according to Craig at Straight Shooters, likely was with the pump. The new problem will be the fill nozzle. He couldn’t say without seeing it if is the old style. If it is the older one, I’ll need to change it out to the newer one, then I can hook up to a compressor. I’m not ordering any new parts until I have all my specs/info correct. Here’s a pic of the fill nozzle(is that the proper jargon?). Can any of you determine by the pic if I need to change out the nozzle to fit a modern compressor hose? If yes, do I need to order a new seal(s) as well?

That looks like a standard air compressor 1/4" coupler not a high pressure coupler. Here's what mine looks like.

Yup an OLD one ... Pre Banjo style.

One shown above the RAW conversion to replace banjo types ...

Not sure on threading tho and IIRC last one I did years back needed machining to made a female threaded hole for a Male foster on 1/8-27 NPT .

Likely other options too ?

Motörhead is spot on. That’s the very early fill valve for air arms s300 and some s4xx guns. Best Fittings sells the conversion to foster. Works well. Look on page 10 in this link

I notice on that link that the prices are in £, I'm assuming that's pounds. Does mean I'd have to pay for overseas shipping?

You may want to check with Allen Zasadny ( AZ ) for he used that type fitting for Theoben Air fill conversions on bottles back in the day.

Need a Phone # ? PM me.

I think Joe at Air Tanks For sale has an adapter to make this work with a standard foster fitting.

Update-just got off the phone with AirForce Airguns. I was sent to them from Craig at Straitshooters. After a short conversation with a very kind, polite, and helpful lady-a replacement part is on its way. The people at both Straitshooters and AirForce Airguns were above and beyond polite. Talk to me with manners and respect and you have a repeat customer.
