New to the "Dark Side"
« on: December 08, 2009, 09:36:48 AM »
So, I just got serious about AGs again in the last 2 months. Have owned and shot my Crosman/Revelation 760 Pumpmaster since 1968. In the last 2 months I've purchased a Benjamin Super Streak, a Walther Force 1000 and a TG89 Contender. The natural progression for me is for more power and to venture out there to see what's next. I've been reading and watching American Airgunner and just about decided on either a Disco or Marauder. I have acquired a steel SCBA tank of 3000psi capacity. We have the fill capabilities here at work, very convenient. What fittings, hoses and such do I need to get and where is the best place to acquire said merchandise to adapt this tank to the Crosman AGs mentioned?
This sport IS addicting!!!!
Thanks ahead of time and Happy Shooting!!!!

and or I have bad eyes. Yours was set up for????? Paintball? Has a 200 or 300 DIN fitting?  Attached is a pic of our standard tank and "yoke" for filling a Disco/Mrod . If you had a standard tank you could jump on ebay or hit a paintball shop for a yoke -$25- then you need a hose from the yoke to a femaile foster fitting then you are all set.

Looks like you have a very old SCBA tank, it probably takes a CGA 346 hand tight connector, although it could be a more current 347.  Beyond that, any standard fill whip should do the job, check out Joe Brancato's site: http://www.hamcontact.com/airgun/HoseAssembly/  Later.

Thanks guys. And yes, I'm sure it's an older SCBA, that's how I got it. :)
I've got my request in for a newer one but have to settle for this right now. It USE to be an air pack for fire & rescue. I figured it would be adaptable though. I'll check out Joe's web site and see what he has. Will also check back where I got the tank to see if there are any adapters available there.
Thanks again guys, I'll definately need and do appreciate the guidance through my learning curve....
