Hello all,

I have run into what I think is a bit of a problem. My sniper rifle uses High Pressure Air (like what some high end paintball guns, and some scuba tanks use). Now my issue is traveling with it. Since there are no fill stations at berget, I have to travel with the tank filled, but I dont believe that Air Travel Companies allow that. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thank you,

There must be some diving shop you can fill it along the way instead, where are you flying to?

Stockholm, if you know of a place it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure they don't. In most cases you have to unscrew valve from a container.

There are diving shops in Härnösand, I think, or in Sundsvall (pretty sure).

Maybe someone from our region who is into diving can confirm this, and help you out. How do you get from Stockholm to Härnösand?

Never mind, I will have to ask my father again, I think I misunderstood him or something, but if someone could check on the way in for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Waterhouse in Stockholm can help you with that for a not too expensive fare...

I will try to talk to the local paintballteam, can you provide the name and size of the valve head? Will you bring a own fillstation?

We have a lot to do but we can atleast try.

The tank is a regular threaded tank (standard for most tanks) It is 68ci 4500 psi tank. And no, I dont have a fill station, that the trouble, I need to find a place that can fill it for me. Thank you for your help Spof, I really appreciate is. And Rush, I will talk to Müller.

Or you can probably just go to AGA (www.aga.se) and have them fill it for ya.
There is at least one in Stockholm and one in Sundsvall.

Dont forget that swedish law require the bottle to be standing (valve up) if transporting it in a vehicle.
