    Default Good place to get scuba tank in COS (for PCP air rifle use)?

    Tired of the workout with my AirForce pump when filling my PCP Condor rifle!! Anyone recommend a good place to get a 100ft, 3300 PSI tank in COS? Or does anyone have one they want to get rid of?

    TIA!

    I got mine online. Its a Faber 149 CF high pressure tank. I am using a valve and hose from Air Tanks For Sale. I want to switch to a SCBA setup. I'd sell the whole setup for $500. It's only been filled once.

    I would check craigslist of your local dive shop for a bottle. You could also look in to a high pressure nitrogen setup so don't have to mess with scuba bottles. Air tanks for sale is the go too for this kind of thing. Call dive shops most don't do 3000 psi I believe. This why I looked into a tank from Joe (airtanksforsale.com). but you need to have a fire service company fill that to 3000 psi. Personally I'm going 6000 psi nitrogen setup with joe's regulator I can get the cylinders at a very good price through my employers dealer. Pm me and I cangive you the run down we can call and chat.

    You could get one of these to fill your rifle instead of needing to get a tank filled every time it gets low.

    I have a scuba tank I am not using any more. Let me see what size it is? It's like new but I haven't used it in years.

    Call around first to make sure you have a place that will fill over 3000psi. Some fire stations will, some won't. Most dive shops I visited won't becaiuse it takes a long time and it's hard on their equipment. I get my scuba tank filled to 3300psi at a dive shop in Arvada. They fill, let it cool down, then top it off. I got my tank at the dive shop. Used. Was $150. Was the shop owners tank and is in new condition. If going the carbon fiber route and buying used, pay attention to the date on the tank. They have an expiration date. I think they are only good for 10 or 15 yrs. then nobody will fill it, even if it passes a hydro test.
