You can always fit oil & moisture filters in to the air line

This is what a commercial set up looks like

I wonder if similar principles could be used on a smaller scale with this Chinese compressor. Perhaps keep a 3l 300 bar bottle topped up using this method, and top up air rifle from that bottle.
this one seems ok Air Rifle Air Venturi Compressor .Warning ,The guy is like a child on E numbers

pricey though if shipped from the US. https://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Air_V...V_Version/7861
There is also the Daystate one which is a rebadged Coltri and will provide breathing quality air

the key thing with all the more expensive compressors is that they have a better moisture trap whats the betting the compressors are made in China to the end users spec and with their own brand applied and a far better filtration system
the Chinese are quite clever and will make anything for any one but do tend to run a few of the same item off for them to sell under another name just like hawk and leaper scopes are sold under another name just cheaper
interesting that you get the usual negative responses and fear mongering and whilst hpa is dangerous if abused and safety blow off discs or other safety devices aren't fitted or are circumvented
how many comment with no real knowledge on the subject(not aimed at anyone here and could be said about many other topics on most forums) and just repeat parrot fashion what everyone else says
Anyone seen these or had any hands on experience with them?

From what I've seen on the net, quite a few people have bought these and with a few upgrades such as better 'O' rings and additional filters have been quite happy with the result. Would I want to go diving with a bottle filled by one of them, probably not, but neither would I go diving with a bottle filled by a hand pump either & plenty of people fill their PCP's with those.

Law of any kind only affects those willing to abide by it.
Ok....so I bit the bullet and ordered one on the 21st.....being delivered tomorrow the 30th....no duties to be paid. Going to be used to fill guns only. Let see how I get on.

I've just asked for info about the Omega one from both Pellpax and Best fittings. Does anyone have the Omega one or heard any feedback?

Right. Had a play with this this morning.
Filled two guns upto 220 bar easy enough.
Set up was easy.
Both guns filled in under 3 minutes.
No different in ease of use and time wise compared to using my dive bottle.
Only time will let me know of any damage caused to cylinder running this compressor.
For me it saves a 30mile round trip using public transport every time the dive bottle needs a fill/test.
