Like a farging idiot, I did not go to the local Sports Authority and buy out all the Co2 carts before they closed.

Now as I run low, I am finding no one will ship the damn things to Hawaii.  I have two Co2 pistols, a Crosman 2240 single shot and an ancient 600 semi-auto that need the stuff.

Anyone know of a source or a mainland outfit that will ship to Hawaii? 

Otherwise, I have two paperweights in the near future.  Do not think you can convert a Co2 gun to run like a PCP.

GDamnit.  Go to Walmart, not stocked, try to order:

Due to state restrictions this item can't be shipped to 96740 or picked up in stores nearby.

Ahh, wrong island. 

The quote above was taken from Walmart's site when I tried ship to store since Kona WM does not carry them.

This magnificent seclusion on the BI bites you in the ass when it comes to shipping and availability.

time to convert to bulk fill...............

What about Kmart ?

Try Ebay, I cant actually find a restriction on shipping them so im sure some one will.

Had not thought about them, did not think they would sell that sort of thing.

Then again, bought my 10/22 for $56 from a Kmart decades ago.  Wish I had had it shipped here.

Try logging in a Hawaii zip code to estimate shipping.  You'll see.  Alaska has to put up with the same crap................

It's probably considered a pressurized container, so may be banned from air mail.

Try bicycle shops, they're used as tire inflators.

Believe it or not, they use16g threaded tubes, not compatible, same BS restrictions.

Had a fit getting recharge kits for our inflatable PFDs for the boat, finally found a boat store that would ship ground.  Seems like most places just do not want to bother calculating ground shipping or something.

FYI, if you are considering bringing CO2 cartridges back from the mainland:

Like paintball guns, Airsoft guns are perfectly fine to transport in your checked baggage,
and as with BB and pellet guns, there is no need to declare them as you would a real firearm.

There are also Airsoft grenades and mortars that look realistic. These are not OK in carry-on or
checked baggage. Keep in mind that if your gun uses compressed gas cartridges, those are
prohibited as well. CO2 cartridges are only permitted with life vests and mechanical limbs.

I am still kicking myself in the ass for not thinking about this when SA was shutting down.

Looks like Kmart got 'em in Kona

If you get hard up enough to try it, I know there are nitrous oxide cartridges close to or possibly the same size as CO2 cartridges. My buddy's dad used them for something when he worked on aircraft. They also use them in food preparation for things like whipped cream (not like the profiles cans in the grocer store, more like bulk preparation). Call around to some restaurant supply stores, bring a spent CO2 cartridge or a list of dimensions, and see if they'd work. If the nitrous cartridges are smaller in length then add a dowel rod spacer, if they're smaller in diameter maybe wrap them in tape or cut a piece of pipe for a reusable sleeve. Just an idea, hope it helps.

Check a paintball store.

Bicycle stores might also have them as they have a system for refilling bicycle tires using them.

And you can use them to get high!
