They are a 4 stage compressor and I have tested them at over 7000PSI and ran them in my own dive shop for over 1500 hours at 5000PSI – at times 4-5 hours continuous while filling 6 storage tanks. The reason they are rated at 3000PSI is because the gov’t…Read more

I sold over 50 of them in the last 5 years and have had only 2 returned for service.
I will help you modify one for your airgun use

(very close tolerance chrome pistons to cast cylinders) if they sit for 2-3 months with out running the pistons tend to stick and then won’t release when you start the pump. Only the 1st stage is connected to the crank shaft ,…Read more

The compressor has everything new except the bare compressor which is a very new model.
Only needed the valves cleaned. Motor, frame, moisture trap, filter, fill whip, drive and belt guard casting are all new.
2nd one has rebuilt compressor, new motor, drive and belt guard, military and used Bauer filter on a wooden base like all the “air…Read more

1. a new build fully functional (for breathing air quality) 4.2 CFM to 5000PSI Kidde at $2500 plus shipping.
2 A rebuilt 4.2 Kidde for air guns using military moisture trap and used (good) filter for $1800 plus shipping.

It is a safe method to allow shooters to fill their own tanks with out the possibility to overfill the tank. The 5-6000 PSI STORAGE SYSTEM is equipped with a regulator which limits the air pressure to the filling station. Most of the fields…Read more

There are no more of these available. The Gov’t has not sold any for at least 10 years and my purchase of over 1000 of these in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s has been sold. I still have lots of new and used spare parts for the units but not any complete units. If you find one, buy it and send it to me for repair. Cost will be $50 to evaluate…Read more

These are good for large storage tanks (400 CF) . I also have some outdated 4500 PSI carbon cylinders that I’m selling for the valve and fittings.

I have sold some to 3-4 guys that hunt together and they divide the compressor price among the group.

When I read your specs —
* 3 minutes to fill a one cubic inch air tank to 4500 psi or 300 bar
* 68 cubic inch paintball tank = 3.5 hours
* 80 cubic foot scuba tank to 3000 psi or 200 bar = 24 hours

What interests me most is that an average paint ball player will go through a 72 cu in tank in a game in about 15 minutes Then goes home and hooks up to the Shoebox and waits for 3.5 hours to get a fill so he can go shoot again. And if he wants to…Read more
