Just had to try her out now that I have got
the Argon fill system up and running.
So a quick eveing hunt after work was in order. 
Hot as hell up in the valley maybe 40c and the
sweat was pissing of me.
You don't notice any real diffrents but the pellet
seems to be hitting a bit harder 
Or mybe its just wishful thinking 
Any ways it should be better for the gun
being dryer than air

Hmm... argon... 25% co2 and 75% argon? I have access to massive tanks of the stuff at school, would need a couple bottles though. I don't think my teacher would care if I filled a couple small tanks from them.
Is your fill system custom or factory made? How much are you saving? Worth the effort? |

I made the system..
Just - 2 1/4" brass tee's / 1/4" nipple / 1/4" to 1/8"reducer / gauge / bleed scew / fitting for the bottle.
I'll post a pic later
I save 100% on my fills....We have bottles of it at work
just bring one home when it gets down to 2700psi ? I will take it back
and change it for a full one. |

| Why argon? I am not familiar with the expansion characteristics of argon. All I know is that I use it in my MIG welding mix... |

| Yes, that's why I have interest in his argon system, because I have access to the K? (5ft high tanks) tanks in school. If I could use argon, then I will definitely go pcp soon. |

I use it because it FREE
I think there is a power increase mainly due
to it being sligtly thiner than air so it travels faster.
Its also very dry.
Here's the fill unit I made..Easy & cheap
just need a better bleed valve.
