Title: A little impatient
Post by: conradtan1969 on July 20, 2014, 05:35:30 PM
Hello everyone. Got my AT44 QE yesterday,  scuba tank, fresh pellets, and.... No yoke /whip assembly to be seen anywhere. A quick check reveals it won't arrive until Wednesday! Does anyone here live in San Jose California I can borrow a yoke/whip to air up my new gun?

Hello everyone. Got my Hatsan AT44 QE yesterday! I ordered the support gear which also came in such as the  scuba tank, fresh pellets, but.... No yoke / whip assembly to be seen anywhere. UPS tracking says it won't arrive until Wednesday! I'm going to run out of air way way before that! Does anyone here live in San Jose California I can borrow a yoke/whip to air up my new gun? I'm happy to drive anywhere in the Bay Area to meet up! Thanks in advance

Man that has to be a heart breaker,
Good luck finding a neighbor to top you off.
Be Well,
Gator

No luck yet! And after today I'm down to less than 100 bar. Poor me!

Do you work on Monday and Tuesday? If not and you still have the big "itch",
 Perhaps you can find a hand pump in Craigslist.Buy it and resell when your bottle adapter arrives.

Plan B, call a dive shop, unscrew your air tank and grab your fill prob.(be sure to put a light lube on the fill prob O-Rings before inserting it into the fill port on your air tank every time your fill. )

Some dive shop should be able to top off your tank. That should get you about 30 shots.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RUN YOUR TANK BELOW 25 BAR.,,!!
I learned that the hard way. I won't go into it, just be advised.



Best of luck,
Gator

I do work this week so I'll be putting her in the closet until the weekend. My pump and tank adapter should be here by then.  My god I'm going crazy waiting. This QE is really really quiet. All I hear is a tiny metallic "pongggggg"  and the hollow "thwock" sound of gophers going to heaven!

I got my first gun last Monday.  Pellets, tank (filled), hose/adapter, scope...  Weaver scope rings for Marauder's dovetail.  DOH!

Sunny beach.  I feel your pain!

JR,
I have had better luck with using a UTG or better adapter from Dove to Weaver. That usually makes for a more secure hold.
I don't know about Mrod Dove grooves length.  But you might check with guys who own those and see if they have had any issues using the Dove groves for big glass. Congrats,

At least you guys have your guns. I got email my rifle was finished from warranty work but not shipping confirm.
Then I bought a new gun over the weekend and no confirm on it leaving towards me either.

Shoot Safe I did some dumb things with my first couple PCPs.

Gator

Well look at you Mr. 1969.  No air source, yet you are committed to sending gophers to their maker by way of the Lead.  Lol.

Signed---by another Mr. 1969.
