Paintball co2 tank refill

[brandonq2]

Where do you guys refill your tanks around Indy? My normal paintball shop is closed this weekend for a tournament and I refuse to give my money to Dick's, and unfortunately I have to wait until Saturday to get my tanks filled. Suggestions for places open on Saturdays?

Midwest Scuba Center in Avon used to do it. Not sure what they charge or if they still do it but worth a call.

Most Koorsen Fire and Security offices can do it. Not open Saturday but they do fill tanks.

They can also test your bottles when they hit the age that they need to be tested and inspected to make sure you wont have an explosion risk next to your face.

honestly though, why haven't you gone HPA yet? You know Tom Kaye has a shoebox compressor now so you can fill your own scubas, and not have to rely on dive shops.

Those are pretty spendy.
I looked at one when considering a PCP air rifle. A bit hard to swallow when you add the cost all up to be independent with your HP air as it needs a standard compressor to feed it first.

Sutton Garten does bulk CO2, they might be a good place to call and see if they do smaller fills at their shop.

Thanks guys! I'll do some more digging and see what I come up with. Definitely post back with whatever solution I find.

When I was a kid, constant air was new... I'd heard fire stations could fill them for you, but didn't want to offer that advice since it would be over 25 yrs old.
But I did find this: Where to get your CO2 tanks filled....

Turns out they might be able to? But you may need a refill kit for the right connections. regardless, there are other avenues/ideas they offer to try as well.

Perhaps some of our gun stores may look into this service?
