Airgun World – July 2019

COMPRESSOR

charging. Although it has an auto-shut-off, it is

only a machine. You’ll see another large nut

between the air bleed screw and hose fitting on

the front of the unit. This is a safety device

designed to blow out if the compressor reaches

over 400 BAR. It’s there your safety and needs

no adjustment – so please leave it be.

When I charged my BSA R10 up for the first

time with this unit it already had about 125

BAR in the reservoir and it only took the

compressor 60 seconds to build up to that

pressure. The next couple of minutes (yes,

that’s all it took) saw the black fill needle climb

steadily to the 220 BAR shut off point I had

preset, then the pumping noise stopped.

At this point I simply released the bleed

valve by giving it a few turns, pressed the

Power/Reset button to turn the unit off and

unplugged my rifle – it’s as simple as that!

FUNKY DISCO

I almost forgot to mention that on the

underside of the compressor is another switch,

which turns a blue LED light array on and off

• so you can have funky disco lights while
  you’re charging, if that’s your bag! Also underneath, you’ll find the moisture
  release valve, which should only be opened
  every 20 or so fills to purge moisture from
  the unit.

THE VERDICT

This is one handy piece of kit, giving you the

freedom to venture off without carrying an air

cylinder in your car. Please note that you must

only fill your rifles with this compressor – it’s

not designed for filling larger air cylinders.

It’s packed full of great features and

although I have picked up on a couple of

negatives they really are miniscule and easily

rectified, perhaps they’re more annoyances

really.

Air Venturi claim that this little compressor

can fill a rifle from empty to 3000PSI in just

nine minutes, and having used it a few times

now, I would hazard a guess that it would be

less than that.

If you want to have instant air at your

fingertips then the Nomad II is most definitely

for you.

It took less than a minute to get up to the pressure

inside my rifle.

Set the silver dial to the required pressure and

watch the black needle climb.

Ensure the bleed valve is done up when you start,
and remember to undo it to bleed the compressor
when finished.

This end of the fill hose houses a foam air filter.

It took under three minutes to fill my rifle from

this to 220 BAR
