Choosing A Compressor For Your PCP Airgun

Just going over the differences between the rough 3 categories of compressors. Generally speaking its a story of "buy once cry once" type of deal for a compressor, but i think a big takeaway from this is 90% of airgunners are better off buying a large airtank vs dealing with the compressor.

Many people can't afford those high end scuba compressors. I know the quality is lacking in the Chinese built compressors, but they reasonably priced. I believe there are fixes to make these dual cylinder compressor better. Accessories like a desiccant intake filter, better synthetic oil, and air exit filter. Can you do videos on suggestions to improve a $500 compressor.

I was about ready to buy a pcp rifle; but now I find out I have to spend almost four times the cost of the rifle just to operate it! I'm getting a springer.

I have the Hill EC 3000 that I purchased 2 years ago and it works great. I have since purchased your Guppy tank, which is an excellent tank compared to all others.

Love that great white tank and gauge. Once my new gauge comes in, I am back on track! Thank you!

Just found your store today. Wish I had found it earlier. I have one of those mini pumps. Never used it, and now not sure if I ever will. But I do have a large tank and will likely use that for all range needs of my Airguns.

Ty for vdo. I have great white tank love it. I was think of buying the cheap compressor but after watching this i wont. Just drop tank of to scuba shop. Ty again

Good advice Joe. i’m almost pulled the trigger on a $2000 compressor but I have a scuba shop 20 minutes away so instead I bought two great whites and the scuba shop only charges me $14 to fill both of them. I also bought a booster pump for my big bore Hammer.

I was going to buy a compressor for my airgun but after your advice it's better to buy a scuba tank

[lynnbraford]

Hey Joe nice comparison on the compressors, I have the nomad I only have a couple airguns it works perfect, and I like the fact that I can haul it in my UTV wherever I go and run it off that battery. On another subject do you take in used airguns in trade, have a beautiful FX crown. Let me know if you do if not if you know of a site where a person could sell or trade their used air guns that would be great thank you.

Which one do you use the most and has it failed? I use hand pumps myself. I have arms like chiseled marble statues.💪

[skinnymitchairgunbrotherho]

Being the compressor guy that I am. At this point I would have to put the alpha carette compressor At the top of the list for compressors.

I have a new portable pcp air compressor after 4 fills it's making a squeaking when I start the power on after the fan . No squeaking when th fan starts .only aft th power on ? Pl tell me a fix? Tx

[chevymon]

Hey joe will any of those lil compressors fill the guppy?

[fredA]

Fantastic video. Thank you so much. Not being in any rush to fill my gun. I am buying FX impact. I’ve just seen that the tanks are 7 or 8 hundred with all the adapters. So in your opinion, I am just going to be filling the tank on the gun. What would you suggest for a compressor for price and longevity to do the job correctly?

Just getting into this hobby. Just curious how Lewis and Clark filtered and dried their air on their expedition?

[SwarmShepherd]

Well, I jumped in a bought a cheap air compressor unit, and have been trying to sort out what makes sense for a filter. Have not used it yet. Here is one thought: Fill up an intermediate (carbon fiber) relatively high volume tank, THEN use it to top up my rifle at the range. My hope is that Moisture will form to water inside the tank and drop out, and holding tank upright I'll get relatively moisture free air out of this tank.

Any comments on the effectiveness of this idea? (Thanks in advance!)

[thomasmueller]

What filter is that larger one, the one that was he said to be about $400?

[adamreisman]

I used a hand pump with the blue dessicant beads to dry the air. Are you saying this ceeates acid? If so will you using a couple times ruin the gun?

[bommert]

Are spare parts readily available for the Carette 2?

[invisible_agent]

so with the scuba tank produces clean oxygen for pcps?
