Update:- Contacted relish about the Morini circuit board and sent them the pics. They said that they'll be looking into the matter soon.

[sohampaul11]

Update:- Successfully sent the circuit board to relish. They promised to pay for the shipping. Also,the Hill Mark 4 is on it's way. Will post about it once I receive it.
Got a Plane SE hard case from airgunindia.com. Took around 10 days to arrive. They said that they were having some problems with their website. I placed the order on 27th Jan and got it today. The courier guys rang e up that the parcel was too bulky to be out for delivery on a bicycle ,so I would have to go there and personally pick it up after showing an ID.THe quality is quite good. It's not military grade though. It has enough padding inside to stop my gun from rattling around and it locks up firm. It also has 3 padlock tabs where I an attach padlocks to lock it up while transportation. Costs around 4.5k.

Here are a few pics:-

I placed an order for the Hill Mark 3 on relish. The total price at check out was around 22000/-. Relish immediately contacted me and said that the Mark 3 was not in stock. However the Mark 4 will be arriving in 4-5 days and it would cost me 24000/-. So,I told them to let it come and contact me after it arrives. Fast-forward a couple of days,the case arrived. My shooting jacket and trouser arrived in this week a couple of days ago. Relish contacted me to send the balance payment as well the Morini Circuit board to them. I did both of them. In the meantime relish said that they will be sending the pump alongwith a cheque with the shipping payment that I was to get from the Morini circuit. The pump arrived today morning and with it was the cheque relish sent to pay for the return shipping. I assembled the pump by reading the online manual on how to assemble it. It has a superb build quality,just like the Anschutz. I now begin to understand why the international target shooting fraternity always go for the European stuff. Anyway,when I tried to connect the pump with the cylinder, I noticed that the cylinder requires a DIN adapter to connect with the 1/8th inch BSP female fitting on the Hill. Relish to the rescue. Immediately ordered the adapter for the same Costs around 2500/-. I am sharing some pictures of the pump here.

Got the adapter today. The first time I was pumping,there was a loud noise and all the air in the pipe came rushing out I got a bit scared. However I searched the internet and found out that to connect the adapter to the pipe you need to wrench-tighten it and to crew on the cylinder,you have to hand tighten it. That did the trick. Pumping with this hand pump is a breeze. Though the last few strokes near the 3000psi mark is hard. Quite a miracle of engineering really that one can pump a PCP rifle upto 3000 psi BY HAND.

Hello sohampaul11,

How many strokes are required to fill the gun to 3000 PSI ?

GNV

[sohampaul11]

I dont know exactly. Might be around 200-250 strokes, starting from empty.

[GNV]

Could you please tell how many strokes it takes to bring it to 3000 psi cut off pressure. After you shoot your gun and recharge it.

[sohampaul11]

I'll let you know after sometime! First the gun has to be shot. Hasn't done it yet. Only shot 3 today,just to check whether all's well or not. 65 bar is the lower cutoff for the Anchut 8001 and the upper cutoff is 200 bars. The Hill mark 4 can pump upto 276 bar. It took me around 200-250 strokes of pumping to fill the cylinder from empty. You can always alulate the approximate number of strokes required by using this formula:-
(End Pressure Required - Starting Pressure) x Cylinder or Bottle Capacity / 0.225 = Approx Strokes
Where Pressure is in Bars and Capacity in Litres.
E.g. (200 bar - 160 bar) x 0.3 [300cc] / 0.225 = 53.333 or 54 full strokes

[andy_65_in]

A stroke is one set of up and down movement

[GNV]

Nope. Only pushing down the pump handle from fully up to completely down is one stroke. If you can do this without pulling the handle to fully up position from fully down you can call it a stroke.......... Just joking.
