I know this is a lot of questions but I am a complete novice when it comes to air guns. They dont seem to be made for that, do they? A steel 120 cubic foot tank give a lot more fills, but it also costs more, plus you will need a valve adaptor to make it work. I say that because there are MANY rifles equivalent to the 392.
