School me on this, folks. Is it safe to say that any PCP that’s bottle fed is filled from a probe?
After shooting the Hatsan a bit your gonna hate the DonnyFl Shogun. Your gonna think the gun just broke! Donny's Shogun is just that quiet! Love mine!!! Knife
Okay I just checked and my Hatsan probe is wearing standard -009 O-rings. I suspect the factory uses metric M2x5. The dimensions are pretty similar:-009: 0.070" CS, 0.208" ID, 0.348" ODM2x5: 0.079" CS, 0.197" ID, 0.354" ODQuote from: Bigragu on June 19, 2018, 11:03:52 PMSchool me on this, folks. Is it safe to say that any PCP that’s bottle fed is filled from a probe?Actually, the other way around. Most bottles have a Foster fitting.Oh, and don't listen to Manny about fill probes. Those are the rantings of a madman. I mean really, a guy that lives in Hawaii gets waaaaaaay too much UV exposure. That can't be good. I would like all rifles to have fill probes in the same way I would like all the light fixtures in my house to require a different bulb.
I wish all guns had Probes, back in the day when I had Marauders and DAQs I converted all the other guns to Foster, once I sold Marauders and DAQs I re-converted all the guns back to probes,.....I go with probes over foster without even thinking about it.

How come probes over fosters, Manny? Fosters are basically maintenance free, and if a male plug is popped in, basically free of dirt. Having never owned a probe type fill gun before, I’m concerned about debris getting in there, or am I off base?
the bottom of the funnel shape, where the fill port goes from the funnel shape to straight inhas a sharp edge that will cut your O-rings, sand it to a round, smooth corner(transtion) my first pcp is a Hatsan and it ate o-rings for lunch till I sanded off that sharpe edge PS: CS = cross section, or o-ring thickness
Manny, I use to think you were nutt on the fill probe thing. Now after using the porobe with the Evanix Rainstorm, I love it! Was afraid of it at first. thought it might shoot out like a rockett. But no, smooth as glass!Oddly enough I have had fosters fail and shoot off exactly as a rockett. very dangerous!If they would simply standardise them, I wold want nothing else. Knife
