    Thanks chaps !
    Will look into getting a new o-ring first off, could you advise which one I need and where from or is it a contact Daystate job ??
    I haven't got a charging bottle either as of yet as it's at a mates' house and I don't fancy stirrup pumping the 500cc bottle, (my HW 100k is enough !) so once I get it I will fill back into the green and also get some heavy pellets and see how it goes

    Also could you please advise what fill level approx I should be aiming for ? I think the gun is set up at 32-35ftlb ME.

    Cheers

    I would think it will be 200bar fill pressure but Daystate will advise better if you give them the serial number. You will find JSB Or AA Field Plus will be the pellet of choice.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    Air Ranger

    My early 50 ft lb version is marked 250 bar right on top the barrel shroud just in front of the receiver just like the Airwolfs. If you have a large scope on it you might have to look closely as it might be hidden a bit. Mine needs every bit of that 250 bar for the best performance. I was told by Daystate that it is common to see that and it's fine. My Airwolf is a 40 ft lb version and it is marked 220 bar.
    Yours may be different but trying to get those super high pressures with a hand pump could be a challenge.

    Thanks, Gents.
    Will change the o ring as soon as I can which will hopefully sort the blowback of air in the face and also get some JSB plus as well and have a test session, will get the air bottle back Weds so won't have to pump !

    i fill my fac ranger to 230 bar its set power is 37 fpe, it was originaly set at 80 fpe when i bought it from a friend, i then got the power reduced to 37 fpe with bis mag pellets and a match grade barrel
    its a deadly combo, and one i intend to keep.
