First test of Air Hog Regulated Carbon Fiber Tank on Air Hog
I finally got the time to test the Airhog Regulated Carbon Fiber Tank on my Air Hog prepped Air Force Condor(.22) with 24″ barrel. I filled the tank to 4,000psi and was using the 18gr. JSB Exacts. The string is as follows:

If I did the math right, that’s 50 shots with a spread of 18.4fps!!!!!!! 🙂 I’ll be filling it back up to 4500 psi in the next day or so to test it again. I am inclined to think that as the regulator settles in and with a 4500psi fill, things should get even better in terms of shot count and the extreme spread!!! 🙂

Should be some type of protector that fits over the Foster fitting on the reg to keep dust and trash out of the fitting..Any particles in the reg. will cause intermittent irregularities in FPS….
I have mine down to 3/3 and it is doing really well….I did pull the reg.
apart twice and rinse it out with silicon spray…I made sure all of
the excess liquid was drained and just left a thin film inside for lubrication….
It is firing consistant fps even on the first shot after
sitting for a few days…I finally got to fill to 4,500psi but didn’t get
the shot count….I’ll make another fun tomorrow….Can’t wait to
see your results….
P.S. Put that black rubber cap back on the Fill fitting on your
reg….
PW on 3. What black rubber cap?!?! 😯 Can’t wait to see your report on the 4.5k fill!

Great numbers. Where did you get the parts for that, and how much did it set you back
Electrician, thanks! Airhog supplied everything, iirc, it was like $370.00 to my door.

No worries then, I have extra mushroom caps from MAC1 for my USFTs and bulk fill C02 guns!
