Well, after looking around and reading everything I could find on hand pumps, I've decide to take Bob's advice.. just have to spend more than I was planning (sound familiar??) ..but I will end up with what appears to be the very best hand pump available at this point in time.

Called Friday afternoon and ordered the Stage 4 pump....and since I already had the guy on the phone----------I went ahead and ordered a new AirForce TalonSS Mr. Green

thank you Uncle Sam for the refund check that made this possible.. I intended to buy a disco, cause I like carbines, I have a 2250B, and the disco is a carbine, but the TalonSS is also a carbine-less than 33 inches long, weighs only 5.25 lbs, and it is quiet. Twice the price of a disco, but since my uncle was buying it for me..what not?? ANyhow, pump question has been answered..BTW, anyone else interested in pump info..the hand pump by "HILL" has a very good reputation for dependability and reliability...FWIW.

Would have been nice if you'd mentioned that BEFORE I spent $300.00 on the FX stage4 Rolling Eyes

Hell that website is screwed with the whacked out colors...I couldn't even read it.....doing a search didn't turn up anything for "hurricane inc". he claims to be an airgun dealer, but I saw nothing directing to me to that..reckon no one has ever mentioned just how hard it is to read that ??
No biggie, had to call AOA to order the gun, just easier to order the pump from the same place...which by the way is REALLY easy to read Smile

The Axsor you like so well is Swedish made. so is the FX..I'm hoping that will equate to me getting a good Swedish pump. Laughing

OK, so I've got the FX Super Turbo hand pump, and the video that shows how to use it...my pump works!! Notice what time I'm posting this??? before 5AM....I used the pump last night just goofing off, I have back problems and woke up at 2:30 am with PAIN, jumped up and took 2 morphine tablets..I tell this so you guys understand that it DOES take physical exertion to operate the pump...I am 62 yrs.old, have spinal stenosis and only weigh like 130 lbs..

If you are like me, from a physical standpoint, I recommend NOT buying the hand pump...when ya get to about 1500psi it starts becoming more difficult, even with my FX pump which actually can be adjusted, (like putting it in "granny gear") . Some pump manufacturers even have a *note that tells states you should weigh over 135 pounds....seriously! So, if you're thinking about getting a hand pump, please take seriously what I'm saying here..I just spent $289.99 (plus shipping)for a great handpump that works as advertised.
BUT, the physical limitations some of them make note of should be adhered to. I have prescription morphine due to my spinal/lower back problems, thank goodness. So, who (in good physical condition!) wants to buy an FX Stage 4 Super Turbo jand pump, used once, at a great price?

SOLD !!! for a mere $200.00...
