Getting back into 10 meter air pistol ... need ...

... compressed air. Before I used a firefighters air tank and a hand/foot pump ... which I no longer have.

Is there something that I can use from the world of paintball to fill my Morini short and my Walter LP-300 ?

Do you have an aversion to using a scuba tank?

Mako · Post by **Mako** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 6:37 pm

No, Just trying to keep it quick and cheap. The LP300 can use 3,000 lbs, most only 2,000. It's been a while ... what do folks do? Buy used scuba tanks?

If you are leaning towards a used tank, you may want to visit a local dive shop first and find out what the down side may be. Here is a page from eBay describing what to look out for: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Buying-A-Used-S ... 382/g.html

While you're in the dive shop, just ask if they have a used one cheap. It will be full and serviced. You also need a fitting to put your adapter into, preferably with a pressure gauge, but that can be a separate item.

You can usually find a few tanks on Craigslist for about $50, but you may need a service to get it filled (another $50). But maybe not, and if it's full you're probably good for a year.

Hey Mako, you still have your Subaru? ;)

Welcome back.

Suby is long gone ... now I share my gals Z06 and Miata and I have a full track, trailer queen racing Miata.

We haven't been able to race in the last 6 months. My gal's ill, so I've been thinking of doing some AP practice + postal matches

It is interesting to know that there is someone who is interested in racing as well as target shooting, like me. Thanks Mako.

Yep, me too. Also, I know of another on this site who races. I should be back on my 250GP bike later this year.
