Hello Sniper
I brought in a different pump from D&L to try and so far after trying it last night I was able to pump it to 180 bar and I beleive I would have been able to go farther but the connection at the pump started to leak. I do have to give kudos to Sunny for responding quickly after getting the email from my supplier. Thanks Sunny I will be in contact. Now I need to check if the treads from the Xisico pumps are different because the quick release ends will not screw on the Hill pump. I may need another adapter.

Any airgun projects in the works for this Fall?

I heard a couple guys in UK forum were talking about this how the slight different in connector from 2000, 2500, and 3000 psi but I'm not sure what are they talking about since I don't have one yet, untill then. I was thinking when I get mine, I will go to the pressure fitting store and standardize all the connectors from the pump to the gun with the highest spec. of pressure.
Hey Sniper
An update on the fittimg issue. The hose from the hill pump is standard pipe thread, the Xisico fitting for the xs-b50 is metric. I found a company called Bosch Fittings that made me a small adaptor hose to convert the fittings and make it work on the hill pump. WaaHoo! With the Hill pump I was able to pump it up to 2700 psi and was very impressed with the power. I had an old license plate sitting around and at 8 meters blows a nice .22 cal size hole through it. So far so good. Sunny if you read this I will email you from home tonight.

Avanar,
Congrats, you got it to work. That's very impressive at 8m punch right thru a licence's plate which means it really does about 1000 fps to be able to do that. Excellent......
Now that you mentioned it, it just brought back my memory that one guy in UK post a link somewhere about that conversion standard to metric for different type of guns.
