Cheap compressor's Any good?

[oldboyshooter]

Hello, i have never heard of a PCP compressor blowing up but that is not to say that has not happened, more like just going pop and needing some internal parts, from what i read most compressors are doing a good job, Tuxing seems a brand most people say is good and many are rebranded under another name, i would say there must be a few Chinese companies making PCP compressors, UK Companies that sell PCP Compressors like BSA and Gilbert Distribution must be part of the design process with the Chinese Manufactures , Optics Warehouse sell Tuxing , not sure if Tuxing make the BSA or Gilberts compressors

Having worked on BA compressors in the RAF I was very wary of the cheap Chinese ones when they first hit the market,
But I bought one a few years ago when a batch went on sale at £40, touch wood it has been fine.
I always turn on the cooling water pump first, before fitting the fill probe/connecting the rifle, and I always leave it running after use until the temp drops back to ambient.

Hi Max I’ve got one that I fill my bottles with but a guy at shooting range as a oil less one that doesn’t need water but ok for filling guns up with seems to work fine

Thanks bud it's been a long time since I spoke to you on here I hope your keeping well and thank you for that I need to look into it a bit more I think before choosing bottle or compressor. Just remembered it's Barry if I'm not mistaken ��

I didn’t know they were available so cheap but I see mains powered ones are available from the auction site for £160-£220. It is tempting.
