HPA work

[Cryeiscool]

Hi everyone I’ve recently become interested in turning an lct ak105 into a hpa gun how much work would it take to fit the polarstar CO2 buffer tube and a kythera engine and who would you recommend to fit all this stuff plus an inner barrel setup

Can’t help you on the conversion specifics …… but just in case the next question is similar to other posters (I’ve converted to HPA - now how do I fill it?)

 

Does/do the site/sites you play at have HPA compressed air fills ?

 

If not, do you have plans for sufficient  pre filled sources to cover a days play?

 

Are you aware that home compressors aren’t the best thing to have ?

Tyre compressors are out of the question

Workshop / tool compressors can be boosted in theory but at expense, concerns for air cleanliness and nasty things can occur

’Cheap’ (hundreds of £s) compressors do exist, but I’d still be wary of them - for low usage, and still need to be maintained & filtered for clean air etc 

 

If home fills are necessary the best options are a scuba cylinder and fill station, or for occasional use and muscle building a stirrup pump

With the CGS stock I can literally use CO2 capsules and not need a line or tank

Good call on the capsules

 

12 gram co2 are good & disposable

Buy them in bulk so save a little 

 

 

(Note that co2 isn’t HPA)
