[Hill] Air Pump MK5 for PCP Airguns - British Made

The Hill MK5 Hand Pump (also sold as the Air Venturi MK5 Pump by Hill) is a premium manual 3-stage high-pressure air pump built specifically for filling Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) airguns—pellet rifles and pistols that use compressed air.

Manufactured in England by Hill (a respected UK brand known for airgun accessories), it's a popular portable option for shooters who want to avoid the hassle and cost of scuba tanks or electric compressors.

This is the standard/base version of the MK5 (sometimes called the pump-only model), which does not include any built-in moisture filter or Dry-Pac system—those are available as optional add-on kits if you want them later.

 

Key Features

Pressure Rating: Handles up to 4500 PSI / 310 BAR, suitable for virtually all modern PCPs.

3-Stage Design: Delivers air more efficiently at higher pressures, and the latest generation features a completely redesigned interior that makes it approximately 20% easier to pump than earlier Hill models.

Build Quality: Nickel-plated finish for improved wear resistance and protection against moisture. It includes a built-in pressure gauge, stable footrest base, bleed valve for safe pressure release, and a compact, durable construction that feels solid in use.

Easy Maintenance: You can field-strip the entire pump in about 5 minutes for cleaning, lubrication (with included silicone grease), or o-ring replacement—no special tools needed. It's designed for long-term reliability with proper care.

Hose & Connections: Comes with a 17.5-inch (about 44 cm) high-pressure hose ending in a standard 1/8" BSPP female threaded fitting. You'll likely need a cheap adapter (Foster quick-disconnect or gun-specific) to match your PCP's fill port.

 

Who It's For

It's ideal for airgun enthusiasts who shoot recreationally or hunt and want a reliable, no-electricity way to top off their PCP at home, at the range, or in the field. It's compact, portable, and built to last, with a 5-year limited warranty (some markets offer lifetime coverage on certain parts). Many users praise its consistent performance and British engineering over cheaper imported pumps.

Keep in mind it's a manual pump, so filling from empty to full pressure takes physical effort (though the 3-stage design helps). It's best for occasional or moderate use rather than filling multiple guns repeatedly in one session. Without a moisture filter, it's especially practical in drier climates or if you add your own inline filter/dehumidifier setup later. In humid environments, some owners recommend extra steps like storing the pump in a dry place or using separate moisture traps to protect gun internals.

 

Quick Notes

Comes partially assembled (simple final steps required) and is 100% factory-tested before shipping. Weight is about 6.8 lbs (3.1 kg).

Overall, it's a top-tier choice for a sturdy, no-frills PCP hand pump that prioritizes ease of use and longevity. If you need adapters, maintenance kits, or want to compare it to electric options, just let me know!
