a few guys said the foster fits, others said no.. so u may need a female foster for the hose

Is this what you are referring to?

Sorry - total newb here.

yep.. the provided foster apparently fits chinese guns just fine, but doesnt fit the american foster nipple.. Another challenge might be thread connections , Im not sure, i just found the deals , dont have the handpump

I got a replacement hose and foster end fits okay, a little tight. Last night, I did a side by side comparison with a Hill mk4 as I hand pumped my Mutant shorty from 130 bars back up to 220 bars. The Hill was definitely smooth, but the cheap pump took less effort and pumps faster. We will see about the lo gevity in time.

The clones they've got out there are very inexpensive and work great now days.

My chinese pump has positive hook-up with Benjamin Maximus, Ninja HPA & Tippman HPA. No forcing and wobble when connecting plus no LEAK. I only go 3K max. for my applications.

This one said $65.37 AND $9.99 shipping or make offer. I don't have any intentions of hand pumping on a regular basis. But, if the price is right I wouldn't mind having one as a back up. So, I offered $55.37 plus shipping. I'm waiting for a response from the seller. It also said if the seller didn't respond in 48 hours that my offer would be null and void. What the heck.. nothing ventured nothing gained.

they might accept.. or counter offer a few dollars more. 65 shipped would be sweet

That's what I was thinking. Someone said they had to change the female foster fitting on the hose to fit all their guns... Heck I got some of those laying around.

some guys had no issue. others had to change fittings.. random really

I just outbid you by 2¢.

Just kidding. Good luck, I hope you pick it up.

LOL.... that's the thing.. it wasn't really a bidding thing. It was just a make offer.

I am one of the few unlucky ones with a foster end that did not work with all of my Air Venturi adapters. I took apart the foster end and found that the holes holding the ball bearings were drilled all over the place, some closer to the edge (not a problem) and some farther from the edge (that's the problem). Ordered a replacement hose and the foster end of that one works OK, still a little tight.

Random is the right word, but it is due to the lack of QC and somewhat sloppy workmanship. Some of the screws holding the folding legs to the main pump body were also drilled in a sloppy way. That said, for the price, it is still a good deal considering it pumps easier beyond 3000 PSI compared to a Hill Mk4.

Only time can tell us about the longevity of the pump. That ultimately determines whether the cheap pump is cost effective or not.

avator · « **Reply #116 on:** March 14, 2017, 11:21:26 AM »

That was part of the consideration in my choice. The purpose as backup. It may never even get used more than the first time out of the box to determine that it does work. The purpose for that little donut tire in the trunk of your car is backup. Put it on and drive to the repair shop or the tire store. If I was going to buy a hand pump for everyday use I may want to spend the money for the quality. Providing it is, in fact, better quality and not just way overpriced like a lot of things these days. Yeah, I buy my shoes at Walmart. Don't really matter, shoes last me about 3 months no matter how much I pay for them.

Rob M · « **Reply #117 on:** March 14, 2017, 12:39:21 PM »

from all accounts, its nicer pumping this imitation than it is a benji, airforce, and in some cases even the hill.. agreed on the shoes.. when I get new shoes that are expensive , wife wont let me wear them unlless were going out.. Because i destroy them in 3 months or less

Just bought a pump for $70.30...fingers crossed that it works with my disco.

longislandhunter · « **Reply #119 on:** March 14, 2017, 01:11:38 PM »

Like Rob M said, it may fit or it may not. In my case it wouldn't fit any of my rifles so I just swapped it out with a replacement I had in my parts bin. Now it works just fine
