Hand pumps and high end rifles
So, does anyone use a hand pump on their expensive rifles? I’m thinking Theobens, Daystates, FX’s, and what have you.
I believe Theoben voids the warranty if you use anything but clean dry air from a tank. Believe they mention hand pumps and compressors as voiding warranty. I’m not sure why a compressor is listed as that is what fills tanks.

I think that they are referring to an at home compressor when they say that and that would be because most at home compressors don’t have the filtration that scuba shops have and use….and as to hand pumps if your gonna spend 1k or more on a gun 200 to get a scuba tank and fill adaptors is nothing….

Last year I got a FX stage 4 pump (their latest model) and it would
piss all over my fingers when I was done pumping and bled the air.
I thought that alot of water must be going into the rifle if that much
was comming out of the bleed screw. It also got very warm with 5
minutes of pumping.
I returned it and got a Hill pump and it only get a very little warm
on occasion and never spits any moisture out of the bleed screw.
I use it to pump my Edgun about once or twice a week as I don’t
shoot all that much. I do not think I need to be concerned about my
internals rusting from using the Hill, but only time will tell.
