    Un regged should be fine. I'm pretty sure regged guns need to be used pretty often, but I could be wrong

    I would say they should be the same --but things might start to seize if left for donkeys how long you thinking? could you not get a trusty fellow shooter to store them and give them a go now and again

    PCP's are best stored full or the O rings deteriorate as for length that is anyone's guess
    when i stored my FX verimator striped down in it's case i had to change the O rings yearly after i switched to it being stored set up they have lasted

    PCP Storage

    I have had a problem with my Weihrauch HW110 losing power as it has been stored for several months during lockdown. I stored it fully charged but Hull Cartridge tell me I should have stored it empty which seems to go against all advice for PCPs. I have Theoben, BSA, Daystate and others, always stored with air in them which have never given any problems.

    Cheers, Phil
