3,000 psi air pumps

[Rustytigwire]

I need an air pump for my new PCP air rifle. The max pressure for the on board tank is 3k psi. I’ve seen the electric 4500 psi pumps on Amazon ranging from $300 and up.but they all look to be Chinese crap.
I know about scuba tanks, scba tanks and I’ve talk to welding supply shops that will lease me a 4500 psi bottle.
I am trying to see if there might be another source for this kind of compressed air that I’m an not familiar with.
ideally, I’d like to have a compressor at the house.
Does anyone know of an industry that uses this kind of air pressure?

Looks like i have a Shoebox. Its ok.
Also looks like they are out of business.
Mine stays put till i sell my pcp guns.
Keepin it all for now.

Those shoebox compressors looked nice. I guess the Chinese put them out of business.

I have a hand pump for mine but I don't shoot that much so it doesn't bother me refilling it.

I really can’t believe I found one of these, but I got this off eBay and it was local. This model generates 3,500 PSI at 3.5 SCFM.

They don’t make ‘‘em like this anymore and made in Indiana USA!

Please make sure that you don't use it for breathing air otherwise you'll probably die.

I'm sure that's not his intended purpose with that much pressure.
Back in the day the company I worked for had a paint booth out back. The oilless breathable air compressor we used for their breathing masks was in a room outside of the paint booth.
The painters started complaining of headaches and dizziness in the mornings, but the afternoons were good to go.
What I found was that a forklift driver was parking his forklift next to the air vent leading into the building where the compressor was located to warm it up in the morning.

At these pressures they are typically used to recharge SCUBA tanks...that was the intent of my caution.
I worked for an OK company that was involved in a lawsuit regarding someone who use a rotary screw compressor discharge air as breathing air and died as a result of that decision.

We have 4500 psi cylinders for breathing air in SCBA.
