Kinda frustrated; could someone please help?
Hi I was just about to order a carbin fiber tank from a guy that was initially slated to be around $235, then at the last minute he mentioned that I’d need a $129 hose for it to work with my air gun I’m going to get (condor).
I guess I need some explanation from either someone, or could someone send me a link to some instructions etc, on the easiest and cheapest way to hook my gun up to a tank. I’ve also found locally a decent deal on a regular 3000psi used scuba tank for $75 so that’s an option also, although I would much prefer the fiber tank the guy was selling (it’s about 12 pounds!), but I just can’t afford to pay as much in scuba gear as the gun itself (I totalled up the fittings he said I’d need, the $129 hose et. al. and it was like $500!).
Can someone shed some light for me here? Should I just go the cheap route of using the scuba tank for $75? If so what’s the least adapater stuff I’d need – and would I also need the $129 hose for that? Thanks

Don’t spend your money on anything but a 4500psi Carbon Fiber tank and make sure it has enough life left to justify the cost. Buy from Tim Mac1 or Joe Brancota. Make sure they know what you are wanting to fill.
A gun that wants 3000psi fills must be fed from a 4500psi tank.
Do not take shortcuts on these components.
If this all is too much money then investigate a CO2 adapter that allows you to use paintball tanks. Then when you are more flush get into the PCP part of the hobby.
