Local Air Fill

[Marcus Geezer]

Does anyone know of a place in the Home Counties area where I can just walk in and get a fill in my new air system.

Local sites are being helpful and freindly, but I have to coincide a visit when they are in attendance, which like I said is very good of them, but weekends are being suggested and my weekends are nuts at the moment. Being impatient to try out my new marker want some air now!

Can anyone suggest a place within Beds, Bucks, Herts, Oxon? Preferably 30 miles radius of Aylesbury Bucks?

Your help is appreciated.

Ta.

Found a local scuba centre, and he says he fills air rifles and has the converter for that but has never been asked to fill a paintball air system, so he's not sure if he can help me.

What exactly is the specification for the fill connection on a standard air tank?

Fill Station

Been to local scuba shop and although willing to fill my bottle for a quid, are not able to becuase they don't have the correct fill rig. They said if I can bring a din or a-clamp fill rig down they said they would be more than happy to fill my air bottle.

So following this visit and after research I am pretty much up to speed on fill rigs etc, and may one day succumb to the urge of purchasing a fill rig to take down to the scuba store, and then maybe, just maybe, my own big air tank.

So my original question. Can anyone suggest a place for me to just pop along and fill my air within Beds, Bucks, Herts, Oxon? Preferably 30 miles radius of Aylesbury Bucks or closer?

i get mine done at an air rifle shop, and he uses the same push fit adapter as he uses on some of his air rifles, he even showed me which air rifle but cant remember the name

Fill nipple

I've found out the filling nipple on a paintball air system is termed as 'QD style'.

Air fill

Just to wrap this post up, I am the process of buying a 2nd hand Din air fill and will use my local scuba centre in Aylesbury for air fills at £1 a go.

Maybe one day will buy a 2nd hand scuba tank for air fills at my own leisure.

If anyone is in the Aylesbury area struggling to get local air fills, just pm me and I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.

Thanks everyone for their input.
