Tanks Alot

[Buckless Yooper]

Total noob question. I currently own this compressor and I shoot a gauntlet .30 (which has a 4500 psi tank) I’m looking to get a scuba tank for range days. I read that you’re not supposed to fill a tank larger than 1.5 L with this compressor. Can anyone recommend a tank for me to get? Perhaps with a link. I don’t really know what I should be looking for, any additional information would be greatly appreciated. I’m fairly new to this. TIA

Something like this would work-though you won't get too many fills if you're filling the gun to 4500 psi. The tank from TopGun is a tad larger than 1.5 liters but you'd probably be ok , especially if you took a break to let your compressor cool down mid-fill.

You can fill in stages at @ 30min runtime with sufficient cooling time inbetween. Then the compressor cant give a toss whats at the end of the fill whip!

Your main problem is that when you have a tank with 4500psi in it and does your first fill on a 4500psi gun it will be downhill from git go!
And the smaller the tank the fewer partial fills you'll get.
If you really want to fill your gun to a true 4500psi then it's compressor directly or a tank with a booster.

you could use what you have . run it from your car , just walk to where your parked , yea a PITA but cost is low . and you get 4500 fill

( My range has 2 electric outlets at the tables , maybe your range has an near by outlet ?)

I will definitely look into that! That’s a good idea

If possible then fill from a bottle and then top off with your pump.
That will shorten times wastly.

Refill your bottle at home where time is of no issue and use that to your advantage at the range.

The misleading part of their ad is “scuba bottle”. I’m pretty sure they mean one of these.

I have seen folks do this.
