    Smile Where to rent a SCUBA tank for the weekend?

    I need a scuba tank for a weekend camping trip, so that three kids can recharge a pellet rifle in the woods. Does anyone have a recommendation on where to get one in the metro area today?

    If you happen to have one for sale, please let me know. It'll need to have either a non-expired DOT inspection date so that I can refill it, or at least be fully pressurized if it's expired.

    I have one I'd sell. What pressure do you need? If its for a PCP rifle most SCUBA tanks do not go high enough.

    Dang it. If I were in town I would let you borrow my 100cf, 4500psi carbon fiber tank. Keep me in mind for future trips, or for other PCP rifle tips and tricks. I’ve been shooting them for years and am quite an addict.

    Newracer, the man we got this Walther Olympic-style rifle from for the weekend, said his tank is pressurized to 3,000 p.s.i. and while gave us a SCUBA adapter, he didn't have a spare tank to go along with it. The adapter he gave us uses what he called the "European" style threads on the tank valve. If that's what you have for sale, and it has about 3,000 psi in it, or a non-expired DOT inspection date, then please let me know how much it costs.

    Colorider - thank you, that's really nice of you! I'll probably be in touch later with some technical questions about this type of rifle and to ask for advice on purchasing one and picking the right sighting system.

    It needs a new hydro cert but it is almost full right now. It has only been filled once. The threads are standard ?”-14 NPSM

    I bought it new in 2015 for $400, I'd take $200.

    Thank you, Newracer. I'm going to stick with a rental until I buy my own pellet rifle. Have a great weekend!

    There is a scuba place off of Bellview & Windemere in Englewood. Might check them out.

    Have you tried a SCUBA shop? There are quite a few of them in the Front Range area.

    Ok, I gotta ask - how the hell can you get that much PSI in a tank? Never seen a compressor like that.
    There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!

    Wish I'd seen this yesterday. I have 2 that I think have been pressurized since the last time I got them checked (way too long ago).
