PCP Match Pistol Cylinder Dates

[zahed2010]

Is there a 10 year life on PCP type cylinders on match pistols? If so, what happens after this date?

The date is on the cilinder. It varies from 10-20 yrs.
After this date, it shóuld be retested acc to the Shooting Federations in sóme countries.
But if you dont shoot matches, there's no problem.
Acc to the law in most countries, testing isnt necessary on such small volume cilinders.

Usually the lifespan is printed on the cilinder
