I am in the process of pumping my Benjamin up for the first time. Never had a PCP before. That pump is a cardio machine for an out of shape fat ass like me that smokes Marlboro's. LOL. Glad my 100 Cu Ft bottle will arrive Tuesday.! A smooth running hand pump though!
@zachreyhelmberger89411 жыл бұрын
How many shots can you get once the gun is charged? How many strokes are required from the pump to fill the gun? It's amazing you can get 3,000 psi out this thing! Thanks for the video.

I have found in my really limited experience that I would probably have both a scuba tank and a hand pump in the end.. Using a friends stuff (I'm still buying) I have found when out camping/hunting the pump is great. You're not shooting as much so it's convenient. When target shooting at the range though the pump quickly becomes a pain. The difference is in the amount of shooting you're going to do. If you plan on doing a lot you'll like the scuba tank, but it's not very portable but that's not a issue at the range. In the field with less shooting the pump rules because it's faaar easier to carry than the tank and still has the ability to fully charge if you do want to do some 'plinking'.. but be prepared to rest if you're an old guy like me. :)

Basically, thats the o-ring from the smallest rod of the pump, compressing all the air and sealing it. That O-ring is damaged and it needs to be changed and re-lubed. :)

I wish someone would offer a larger volume pump that works in reverse as an alternative to regular pumps. If you can pull instead of push weight is not an issue and if some added physical affort will fill a cylinder faster I'm all game. I wouldnt use it all the time but it would be nice to have the option.

The water filter needs to go between the gun and pump. eBay has them. High pressure air line oil/water filter. $50-$100. The brass $100 one is recommend by reputable airgun reviews on this biased video viewing platform

The factory grease on the pump shaft won't last long. Wipe it clean every 5- 7 times you use the pump and reapply silicone diving grease to the shaft. Just put a dime size amount on your palm and rub the pump shaft up and down. This will extend life of seals greatly. Amazon sells it for cheap.

It's this, or a shoebox compressor + air compressor unit that would run upwards of $1000 /or paying for refills at the local scuba/paintball shops.

Don Jackson Get Crosman RMCOIL and put 2-3 drops on the main shaft and lubricate evenly with you clean finger, You can also buy White Lithium grease from many auto-parts stores to lubricate the seal.. The main concern is to never use petroleum based products! Use only Synthethic Silicone Grease/Oil. If your pump fail don't panic! its incredibly easy to rebuild the pump and inexpensive! I can do mine completely in 5 minutes, The rebuild kit cost only 12 bucks with all the O-Rings.

3:45 Does NOT look like any compression on the upstroke.
@Bulsh1tMan9 жыл бұрын
Gee Trieste Its a three-stage pump, the upstroke refills the first chamber with ambient air while compressing air in the second chamber, than downstroke compresses air in first chamber to a 2-3 bars (which goes into the second chamber mentioned before), while boosting air pressure to a few hundred bars in the third chamber. Its just designed in a way that the user doesn't need as much effort for the upstroke.
