Fill with fill valve facing downwards. Need to give a few sharp blasts from the airtank to help the fill valve snap shut. The valve facing down helps as you are not fighting gravity. Chris
Finally got my Daystate Huntsman Classic from the RFD today, it's been in storage since lockdown began. I'm having a problem filling it though. I can fill it OK from a hand pump, no issues there. When I use an air cylinder, it fills the tank, but the fill valve appears to stay open, so when I bleed the cylinder before detatching it, all the air comes out of the gun, ie it bleeds the gun's whole cylinder.
A previous Huntsman which was in my possession for only a short time did the same thing, so I assume I'm doing something wrong?
Any advice appreciated.

You may also want to make sure you "dump" the air as suddenly as you can depending on how your whip de-pressurizes as the sudden drop should snap the valve closed. So don't try to bleed the whip gently as that is a mistake

HI, sometimes it pays you to pull the bolt back and keep filling to about 100 bar its worked a few time for me over the years on different guns including daystates. ATB BOB.
as above usely works
