AirForceOne Carbon Fibre PCP Airgun Charging System - 300Bar - 3L

AirForceOne 3L Carbon Fibre PCP Filling Cylinder

Craftsmanship & Construction

This filling cylinder is built from high-purity carbon fibre, giving it a significant strength-to-weight advantage over traditional steel bottles. The carbon fibre construction is wear-resistant, impact-resistant and corrosion-proof, so it’s resistant to rust and degradation from moisture or chemicals. Each cylinder is individually serial numbered and fully compliant with CE and EN 12245 standards, ensuring compliance and safety.

Performance & Specifications

The cylinder is rated with a safe working pressure of 300 bar and undergoes testing at 450 bar for added safety assurance. It ships with a pre-fitted stabilising “boot” to ensure it stays upright and secure when placed on the ground. The package includes an extra-long 750 mm armoured hose terminated with Foster quick-connectors for ease of use, and a newly designed valve featuring an oversized ergonomic handle, integrated dry-gauge and bleed valve for precise air control during fills.

Key Features

• Lightweight carbon fibre construction — 40–70% lighter than comparable steel cylinders.
• Safe working pressure: 300 bar, with test pressure rated to 450 bar.
• Comes complete with 750 mm hose, Foster quick-connectors, stabilising boot and ergonomic valve.
• Corrosion-resistant, rust-proof material ideal for long-term durability and field use.
• Certified to CE and EN 12245 standards, with individual serial numbering for traceability.

Materials & Care

The main body is carbon fibre composite, giving a high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion and wear — far superior to steel when it comes to long-term durability in damp or marine environments. As this is a compressed-air cylinder, it should be stored empty when not in use (in line with shipping regulations) and periodically inspected or hydro-tested according to local regulations and manufacturer guidelines.

Size & Fit Guidance

The cylinder is sized as a 3-litre “buddy bottle” for use with PCP airguns. The included 750 mm hose offers generous reach for easier connection to rifles, making fills more convenient and reducing strain on air tubes and connectors. The stabilising boot helps keep the bottle upright on uneven ground, and the ergonomic valve makes handling more comfortable and secure.

• Corrosion-resistant materials for long-term durability in outdoor conditions.

Build Quality & Handling

The carbon fibre build inspires confidence: it’s built to be both tough and light. The stabilising boot and ergonomic valve handle improve practicality and user comfort. Because carbon fibre is significantly lighter than steel, handling the cylinder — especially when transporting it to and from the range — is noticeably easier and less tiring.
