Is it a good idea to buy a DAYSTATE MK3

[msc]

I've got the chance to buy a daystate mk3 but I'm hesitant to buy it as I don't see any youtube videos on it showing instructions on how to use it & not hardly any videos on it. Has anyone got a daystate mk3 & know how to use it/charge it etc. There's a manual but it's confusing when there's no actual video

Wanted a red wolf/pulsar but that's out of my budget, could get a hw100 too but prefer the mk3 just because there's no mechanical noise on it & it's electric mechanism.

I own the Mk4. It has MAP Compensated Technology electronics with the illuminated sight window on the left side of the receiver which displays several different operating components including the two power levels, etc. How much does the Mk 3 cost? I also own an Airwolf. Both of these guns are heirloom quality and of the highest quality and accuracy. Everyone should own at least one electronic Daystate just to have an educated opinion on them.

I prefer mechanical to electronic airguns and am very pleased with my Wolverine R.

That being said, I have had a pair of FAC HW100 PCPs (.177 and .22) for going on 10 years now and can highly recommend them. They are well designed, well made solid performers.

Cheers!

The MK3 is a hell of a rifle!

If you are ok being able to do a reseal on the rifle, and able to source a battery if needed, then go for it! They are really not all that hard to work on and are quite simple.

MK3 came in 3 models with 2 being mechanically different.

STD Mk3 is an electronic firing system being really just a battery with electronics than allows programming of how high in voltage you charge the single capacitor which in turn dumps into a solenoid winding having a steel inner post being drawn threw the electro magnet field and striking the poppet valve.
* There was No regulation or pressure transducer. Just a electronic firing system. These shoot with a typical bell curve profile as any other non regulated PCP does.

Regulated Mk3 is electronically the same in function but Now pressure is controlled at valve via a mechanical regulator has these guns shooting a tighter ES spread value from fill pressure to reg set pressure. This version used in the Field Target spec rifles.
