Air Rifle Refills in Bromsgrove

PCP air rifle and buddy bottle fills in store at our Bromsgrove shop

We fill PCP air rifles and airgun buddy bottles in store at our Bromsgrove shop. Our compressor is professional-grade equipment, and it is serviced and tested regularly. If you shoot in Worcestershire or the West Midlands, it saves a long session on the hand pump.

What We Fill

  • PCP air rifles, filled straight from the compressor using your rifle's fill probe or adaptor.
  • Airgun buddy bottles, often called dive bottles, as long as they are only used for airguns.

Maximum fill pressure: 300 bar

Fill Pressures and Fittings

Most PCP air rifles fill to somewhere between 200 and 250 bar. Check your rifle's manual or gauge for its rated pressure and tell us when you hand it over. We fill to that figure and no higher.

Buddy bottles are usually rated at either 232 or 300 bar, and the rating is stamped on the cylinder. A bottle can only be filled to its own rating, even if the rifle it feeds takes more.

We fill buddy bottles with a DIN valve.

Price

£2.00 to fill a rifle and £7.00 to fill a buddy bottle, whether it is rated at 232 or 300 bar.

How It Works

No need to book, just walk in. Fills are done in the shop during our opening hours, Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 5:30pm. We are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

A rifle fill takes about 2 minutes and a buddy bottle 5 to 10 minutes. If you are travelling a distance, give us a call on 01527 831 261 before you set off.

What to Bring

  • For a rifle fill: your rifle, in a gun slip or case, and its fill probe or adaptor. Many rifles use a model-specific probe, so we can't fill without it. If yours is lost or worn, we stock fill probes and adaptors for many popular rifles.
  • For a buddy bottle fill: the bottle, in test and in good condition. Cylinders usually need retesting every 5 years, and we can't fill one that is out of test. If you're not sure about yours, give us a call before you come in.

We don't fill cylinders for scuba or diving use.

Filling at Home

If you shoot often, a buddy bottle or hand pump lets you top up at home or in the field between visits. A buddy bottle filled here gives you a number of rifle fills before it needs topping up again, depending on its size and your rifle.
