Cool, I think I'll take him then.

While the prices you get are good and the fields are great, I totally disagree with this. The staff at CCPB BLOW!

The old guy who does the air fills is one of the most obnoxious people I've had to deal with...

I'm sorry I'm a couple of weeks late but I just need to comment. Joe and John already know what happened, but this was too funny.

Sniper1rfa has been holding my fill nipple hostage for a while so I borrowed one from Joey. I tossed it on my flatline, walked up to the air station, where the obnoxious old guy in question caressed my tank and stared deep into its eyes for a good 5 minutes. He then filled it and gave it back to me. On my 2nd trip back the fill nipple leaked after the fill, this is something I've become used to ever since drew took my new fill nipple hostage and I've been dealing with crappy old ones with old o-rings.

Anyhow, I drain the tank, take off the fill nipple and inspect the o-ring and it looks nice. I know not to use any oil on it so i squish it between my fingers, say a little blessing, work some saliva deeeep into its pours and reassemble.

I bring the tank back to get filled and here's the conversation that takes place:
Me - I'm back, can you please try to fill it just a little bit to see if it leaks still.
Him - What's that?
Me - My tank?
Him - Which one, the one that leaks?
Me - Yea, the one from 10 minutes ago with the bad fill nipple
Him - It's not a new tank?
Me - No, it's the same tank but I think the fill nipple is okay now.
Him - Who serviced the tank?
Me - No one serviced the tank, I serviced the fill nipple, and I said a blessing over the o-ring.
Him - Are you a certified, qualified, trained airsmith, and all that good stuff?
Me - No, Are you?
Him - (silence)
Me - If you want to unscrew the fill nipple and put it back on before you fill it you can be my guest
Him - huffs and puffs and takes my tank to fill it. To his dismay it works. He won't talk to me.

I then did the ol' finger over the fill nipple trick to see if it was leaking and It didn't feel like it. Then I brought up the fill nipple near my ear and tapped my finger over the nipple to see if I could hear it leaking.

Him - HOLY HELL! That's like putting a loaded pistol to your head without a safety on and pulling the trigger! GOOD LORD!

Me - *Smiles and walks away.*





You may think that was a huge waste of 10 minutes of post writing, but its not. Only a story like that can properly prepare someone who has never been to CCPB for dealing with the guy in the air booth. If you've never been there before I'd suggest buying 2 brand new tanks prior to the event...just in case one of them is unsafe and he won't fill it.

BYE GUYS!

[TheTramp]

Oh yah, if anyone has an extra valve set screw for a cocker body or can get one at a local PB shop I'll give you the cash for it and be forever grateful.

I tried to get the right screw at two different hardware stores and they only had that size in the rough threads which I can't get to screw in.

I'll be bringing my Sniper2 in pieces so any help with assembly would also be greatly appreciated.

[rkjunior303]
