- Need to know how to fill the Umarex AirSaber air archery air rifle that shoots target shooting or hunting arrows? Does your standard garage compressor do it? Short answer is no, but it can be useful if you intend to use a handpump. Watch this short video by Eydin Hansen to learn how your garage or shop compressor can be used to seat the valve which then allows you to use a hand pump. If you're not using a hand pump an electric compressor is another option and simplifies the process and takes the effort out. Just be sure not to overheat your compressor or your hand pump. A third option would be to use a SCBA tank, but with those, you'll have to have a filling location or source that's willing and able to put 4500 psi into it. You don't necessarily have to fill the Umarex AirSaber all the way up to 4625 psi either. 3200 or so will be sufficient if you get tired of using a hand pump.
Always follow the owner's operation manual for the hand pump or compressor you're using. Be cautious. Wear eye pro.

You don't find out you need a $500 special aut compressor until you've already bought the airbow. This should be a package deal otherwise you have a big paper weight. Manufacturer is not upfront about all of these costs. You need special bolts/arrows too.
Thanks for your comment and desire to help others. The video is up front. All PCP guns require high pressure air, even the Benjamin Airbow as you have pointed out.
That was the first mistake I realized after we made the purchase.
100% correct. Needs a package. I was about to buy until I saw this video.
You can get it filled at any scuba shop or paint ball shop for $5 if you can't afford a compressor
@@p.f.droney8973 great info!!!!
I purchased an AirSaber, Zeroed the scope in the morning, shot a 230 lb wild hog in the afternoon with a perfect shot through the heart. Very accurate!
Thank u for the video and mentioning that a regular home air compressor does not work. I have a 150 psi, 2 gallon tank like a lot of people and it’s useless for this application . I love the idea of this unit but as a newbie like others that may be watching there are other costs here to consider, $549 usd for the Umarex 4500 psi air compressor or other high pressure air compressor u need to buy , plus $400 usd for the rifle combo. The hand pump from what I am seeing in other reviews works somewhat but is a hell of a work out just to fill the unit up somewhat. That being said, I’m saving up my pennies right now !
The more I watch videos on this unit the more sure I’m going to end up getting one lol.
We support this message. =D
Me too!!! I am MORE than intrigued!!!
Good luck if you want the new double barrel. I have been on the waiting list for a long time. I have already purchased the bolts, as well as the compressor. I called to inquire about the availability and whom ever I spoke with was an absolute jerk. He said "I do not know what your problem is, we have them in stock now.". OK, send one to me and if they are plentiful, I will buy one for the wife. He said "no can do, you must go through the website." I told him that I was on it now and that I am told they are not available. He pretty much just said tough shit dude. My words, not his, but he might as well said that.
@@Robert31352 don’t know where you’re at but I’m in Canada so it’s always a wait lol
I want to get the Saber and the Hammer, but I can't justify the prices. The compressor itself is a major investment.
Totally understand. Personal portable compressor is about $550. AirSaber is $380 with scope.
@@UmarexAir I purchased a compound crossbow over purchasing an Air Saber. It was the most cost effective decision to make. I do not use crossbows, pellet guns etc for fun as a hobby. In my area, we must use such things at a range. I use such purchases for hunting small and large game. Much more people would give air rifles a try, if they were much more cost effective. Hunting laws are catching up with technology and it would be wise for a company to bring the costs down to sway potential customers and hunters to make the purchase. Rifles, bows and crossbows have a long history of use and dependability. I have an Umarex "springer" pellet gun that works very well for my uses and is very cost effective and dependable. I hope to see more products from Umarex come down in cost to reach many more prospective customers.
@@UmarexAir $380? They are trying to charge £699 in the U.K. which works out at $950 U.S.
Hi. I came here to let you all know, that you DO NOT need high pressure air compressor, regular air compressor, scuba tank or some other trick to initially help close Airsaber's inner seals when starting from 0% air pressure.
All you ever need is a high pressure hand pump.
The method is simple and terrifying. You have to pump fast enough and long enough to continuously generate pressure and so overcome leaking air that will escape before inner seals start to hold air.
Your pumping frequency has to be 2-3 downward pumps per second and you have to keep up that speed at least a minute before taking a break.
I'm not in particularly good shape and I weigh about 75kg. Still I managed to fill my Airsaber with sheer grit and stubborness. Start pumping with your hands only and when you feel fatigue starting to slow you down, place your hands (and pump handle) near your hip hinge area, keep your hands mostly straight and move pump handle up and down with your leg movement only. You can really generate some good pressure by leaning on the pump handle with all your weight when going down.
As I write this, I'm out of breath, nauseous and my legs are toast. But my Airsaber's pressure gauge is clearly on the green zone. I don't ever want to do this again so I will make sure to keep air pressure always high enough.
If someone wants to know, I used Hatsan handpump. I had to buy aftermarket quick coupler for it. Best Fittings' quick coupler happened to fit perfectly. Some quick couplers might not lock in place properly so take notice before you start filling. I had to take out this quick coupler's air pressure controller screw to help air flow move faster.
I believe any high pressure hand pump will work just fine. You could also make a tag team with friends and change the pump operator on the fly, if you moved FAST.
Stupid question. When your done filling. And you release the pressure. How does that not let air out of the gun? One way valve?
How long can you leave the rifle laying around after filling it before the pressure starts to drop???
It shouldn't drop, I just filled mine Friday so I will do a test on it.
@@UmarexAir OK, thank you. Please let me know how the test goes.
@@seanhewson1341 It's only been a week but so far so good.
@@UmarexAir Cool. Thank you.
I bought a hand pump off of eBay, and it is not working right so, I just bought the compressor. I hope this gets it filled.
You'll like using a compressor. Just follow directions. If it requires oil use it as the owners manual states. Don't skip a lubrication.
I purchased the Umarex air Sabre read the manual then charged it to make sure there were no leaks, after seeing no leaks after 1/2 hour I attempted to degas as the manual stated however the degassing screw is missing. So how do I degas this rifle
Strange if it's holding air but the degas screw is missing. On the AirSaber (single barrel) it is on the left side where the shroud meets the receiver at top of stock. On the AirSaber X2 (double barrel) it is on the left side under the selector bolt.
I have an Airsaber, I would gladly give up 50 - 75 FPS for a regulated rifle to get more consistent groups.
I think you should mention that the air fitting adapter that the airsaber comes with does NOT connect to a standard 120psi air compressor fitting. This means you will HAVE to use a canister to fill it, or take it somewhere for the initial fill.
The male end of the probe does fit a Foster female fitting. Same fitting that's on the hand pump and the ReadyAir compressor.
@@UmarexAir this is correct, it hooks to my high pressure air compressor. It does not hook to my shop air compressor, the gentleman in the video said that you can hook it to shop air to initially seat the seals. Perhaps a foster fs12 to 1/4" quick disconnect would be a good addition to ship with
I just used the air probe and my normal compressors quick disconnect, it doesn’t need to lock into the compressor qd. You just press them together to spurt about 100 psi into the gun to seat the fittings. I had to read between the lines of what the video said to do.
I just got my new airsaber. Problem is it leaks form the fill valve. Worst part is opening day of deer season is next week.. so frustrated
Call us during business hours: 479-646-4210 ext.7
great video
We need this in a combo version.
Airbows obviously have a barrel.....
So why not size, and rifle the inside of the barrel in .177, add a pellet loading system with a side lever, and have have both an airbow for bigger game, and a pellet rifle for small game.
I wouldn't aim those expensive arrows towards the ground trying to shoot a little rabbit. Be cheaper to go to the store and buy Angus beef.
It wouldn't even be hard. A standard .177 air rifle just needs a slightly thicker barrel to make it work with arrows.
And since they're selling custom arrows anyway, they could size some so they would fit over a .22 barrel.
A .22 airgun that shoots pellets and arrows, without any tinkering to switch between them, should sell like hotcakes.
With all due respect we and others have tried dual purpose airguns in the past and they were not liked by the majority of people as evidenced by poor sales.

Thank you!
How many shots can you get out of a fill up?
How would this Umarex air compressor work in Hawaii as the temperature here's normally pretty close to the shut-off temperature of 87 degrees year round? Wouldn't it keep shutting off?
The shut off temperature is 160 F. The cooling fan starts at 87 F.
Thank you, Nelson. Correct!
Is there any maintenance required or oil points how about moister in the chamber. Just wondering I'm very interested in the saber. Have you had any seals or ports leak and or they serviceable? Don't mean to bother you but you seem very knowledgeable about the rifle.
They are serviceable. There's been a handful of people that had leaks at the gauge, but corrected. Moisture in the air cylinder is always a concern. Best to use moisture filters on your filling devices. There are aftermarket filters that fit most HPA air compressors. As for lubrication just want to be sure to keep moving parts like bolt action and trigger linkage lubed. Silicone oil. When pushing the arrow in make sure it goes all the way in and seats over the o-ring that's down at the bottom. That's important. Sometimes you can hear a faint click, but you can feel it if not.
How long can you leave the air in there for
A while. If in a safe location and unloaded we can leave them for days. Weeks even.
I need a replacement for the airsaber Arrow Seat O-Ring. what size is it?
Can you use any air compressor and if not is there an adapter
You have to use a high-pressure compressor that goes up to 4500 PSI, most garage compressors don't come close to that.
Very good gun...100%
Thanks for watching!
So there's no way the hand pump will work? Or just too much work
It will work, but you need a quick burst of air to get the valve shut first. A hand pump just does not put out enough air on one stroke to do it.
@@UmarexAir 🤦🏾♂️thanks for the response. I guess I need 1 anyway
So to really fill it up I have to spend another 600 for the air compressor? I really want one but just don't have the funds to be dumping 1k for this thing. This is absolutely on my list. I will be getting one and I have a javelin but really want the saber.
Either but I just did
Whats the physical size of the built in air tank for this?
Do the cheap ebay/Amazon high pressure compressors work? (Reliably)
I am taking my down to have it filled for the first time. Then I will use my hand pump to keep it filled.
That's a great idea! Have a good safe time!
What coupler do you use? 1/4 does not work I have an air compressor at home just can't use it
I just used the air probe and my normal compressors quick disconnect, it doesn’t need to lock into the compressor qd. You just press them together to spurt about 100 psi into the gun to seat the fittings. I had to read between the lines of what the video said to do.
Work good
there's some good options out there
I don't understand, are you saying I can't fill the air saber from zero with just the pump?
Correct. It needs a "burst" of higher pressure to close the valve first. A standard garage compressor can do that, but won't fill it.
Mine came completely empty and I could fill it up with a hand pump without a problem. All you need to do is to cock the gun before you start to pump, otherwise, the air will come out of the barrel. It says so in the manual also.
I just bought the Umarex and when I move it up and down, there is something moving back and forth. Is that normal?
Please call one of our gun techs: 479-646-4210 ext.7 Mon-Fri 8 to 5 Central Time.
Why wouldn't you us a Schrader valve to put air into this? It's so common and universal.
HPA airguns operated at very high pressures... 3000 psi and beyond.
how to out air - low pressure - from airsaber
Make sure there is no arrow in the rifle and the rifle is not cocked. There is a degas screw on the left side of the rifle. It is located close by where the shroud meets the receiver, right above the stock. Slowly turn it counter clockwise until it starts hissing indicating the air is escaping. Allow it escape all the way. Once empty you can verify by cocking and squeezing the trigger with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Then re-tighten the screw.
Make an Origin Bullpup!!! (Not the sketch Bullpup a type with the bolt handle in the back)
No that, that is a good idea.
can you use any type of air compressor as long as it is 3500 psi or do you need to use the one you sell?
As long as it is able to fill a high pressure airgun tank you can use it.
How to fill up a $300 air gun? Buy a pump that costs more than the gun. Oh, and that won’t work either.
Thanks for a second comment of similar nature on the same video. If you have an Umarex airgun HPA compressor or hand pump and are having issues we invite you to call 479-646-4210 ext.7. We have gun techs available Monday through Friday 8 to 5 Central time.
@@UmarexAir can you you a Bottle Of Compressed Air like other Air Bow Rifles for This?
carlos
Right on.
Over 1k for a arrow gun and the high pressure air pump. Ya ill just go buy a gun
We get that. Just keep in mind the compressor is a one-time buy that will fill up the rest of the PCP guns you want.
Why would you bad mouth the hand pump?
Sorry if it was not clear... if the air cylinder is completely empty it takes a hit of air to seat the valve so that it will hold air. The hand pump won't do that. After you have air in it, no problem using the hand pump. Eydin was simply saying that for some the hand pump is strenuous and a compressor will help make things easier. Thanks for watching. ;-)
@@UmarexAir Thank you for clarifying. So everyone needs a compressor for this great hunting equipment. Do you all sell them in a bundle?
I ASKED FOR AN INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FILL THIS WEAPON UP HE'S NOT SHOWING ANY CLOSE-UPS OF THE ADAPTER OR THE CONNECTION WHAT I'VE SEEN THE VIDEO IS USELESS THE GUYS JUST TALKING TO HIMSELF
Umarex has been out of stock-as far as the website shows-for about a year now.
I can’t find any distributor or any store that has them.
My gun came without one-nor a instruction manual. Got it on sale from Sportsman Guide.
Can you provide an address or contact number where I can get one.
Somebody from Umarex actually did give me one a while back -can’t remember how I got a hold of him though.
Please. Can you restock them on your site?
Oof. Sorry about the stock situation. Assuming you mean the hand pump... or maybe the probe? Regardless, our teams are trying to manage the shortages as best they can. If a hand pump, it's going to be a while. If the probe... probably best to call: 479-646-4210 ext.7
@@UmarexAir the probe part only
Could 3000psi take down deer just as good as 3650 psi???c
Check with your local game and fish regulations, some require a certain psi for hunting game animals like deer.
Can Bring back the Glock 18c and Glock 19x
Making 'em as fast as we can. Can't keep 'em in stock at the moment. Extremely popular.
@@UmarexAir Are those Available in a 80 % configuration ? (the frame )
Lo mejor
so you can’t pump it with a hand pump
You can, but have to get enough pressure in an instance to the valve to pop it shut first. He kind of said that quickly.
Question, the Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Fully Licensed with Glock will be available or I have to buy the other version?
They made it well. They keep selling out.
We've offered both a BB gun and an airsoft gun in the Gen4. Just so popular they sell out super quick. Click or tap the "Notify Me" button so you'll be notified next time we have any available. www.umarexusa.com/glock-g17-gen-4-177-black
Thanks
@@estasfamily Are frames for the G17 IDENTICAL? even the Internals ?( somewhat)
@@ronaldpeterson5598 idk anything really just that it’s a well made BB gun (bit underpowered imho)
I like the idea but I’m not dropping $500 for a air compressor
Totally get that. If the time comes for one it could be an air source for many PCP air rifles, not just one. 😉
Horrible warranty. I’m on my third scope in six months time. They will not refund my money and expect me to pay shipping on returning their faulty products.
Scope or hand pump? Because you've left similar messages on four different videos now.
They need to fix it so it can be pressurized with shop air...not paying $500 for an air compressor just to fill this gun...not happnin...false..wrong answer..sure glad I did my homework on this b4 buying the thing
If you can find a shop compressor that creates 4500 psi go for it.
@@UmarexAir I can't and obviously you didn't READ THE COMMENT(or dont understand it)...nevertheless there's numerous compressors at half the price of yours I've found
Deal breaker
The pumps are junk. Kinda makes the rifle worthless.
A high pressure air pump does not come with the Umarex AirSaber.
