    Question MFR Fill Pressure.

    Hi

    I know this is a silly question and its just me panicking as I don't want to over fill, but Ive lost my booklet that came with the gun and I can't for the life of me remember what pressure I'm meant to fill the buddy bottles, I have a feeling Ive been filling them at 200Bar but in one of the comics and on the Theoben web site it states 232Bar fill pressure.

    I know the un-regulated Daystates have different fill pressures which are printed on the barrels, do MFRs have one fill pressure for all or are they each different.

    Have a look here, Mav...
    You may wish to print it out to keep as a replacement, too.

    Ben Taylor says to charge them to 232 bar so that's what I do.

    I just fill my MFR to 200 which gives me around 180 shots between 11.5 and 10.5ftbls, I also carry a spare buddy bottle so if this isn't enough my arms would be too sore to shoot anymore anyway.

    Ahh thats must have been where I got the notion to fill them to 200Bar, Many thanks m8.

    Hmm now to add to the confusion, the same web site in the technical spec's on the right hand side of this web page See Here and And Here it states 232Bar , I'm sticking to 200Bar (better safe than sorry) but if anyone has a contact @ Theoben it maybe a good Idea to point out the Contradiction of the technical Spec on the web site and the PDF/Manual snock kindly found for me.

    Give Martin an email, Mav..
    He should be able to clear this up.

    FWIW, I think you're doing the right thing by filling to 200br.
    Loss of power and system overload could only result be using more than they recommend.

    Thats when I have modded the reg. I think Theoben say between 210 and 220.
