Air arms s410 problem!

[kobidog 1]

I had planned to go shooting the young rooks up the rookery today with a mate so i got my gun filled up at the gun shop yesterday, where the guy filled it up to 200 bar.

When i got home i fired 10 shots to zero the rifle and put the gun back in its case, the pressure gauge still read 200 bar.

When i arrived at the rookery this morning i looked at the pressure gauge on the rifle just take make sure, and i was horrified to find that it now read just under 50 bar!Anyway i put this down to a broken pressure gauge which i was pissed off about because i only bought the gun 2 weeks ago and i have been careful not to knock it. After a about 10 weak shots the rifle dumped its air to the pressure gauge was obviously not broken and air must have leaked out.

What do other people think may have happened, i thought air arms s410's where supposed to be reliable.

Any help is appreciated

You say you only had the gun 2 weeks ? I would take it straight back in the morning and get the seals changed ( get em all done for your trouble ) . If its brand new it will have the AT fitted and really should`nt have leaked , and also make sure its only filled to 190 MAX ( unless regged then about 210 ) , although AA guages are notoriously `vague` you should always go from the bottle`s guage .

Thanks, i am going to take it back tomorrow,there is a three month warranty on it thankfully! And it was bought second hand

hey mate,

 

i have an AA s410 too and i had problems with it too (cocking handle, air leak, and stiff magazene). wasnt impressed considering i had bought it from new and it was supposed to be a reliable weapon

 

however overlooking all the faults ....its an amazing weapon and does the job.

 

my air leak was from the working parts (magazene area). it sorted itself out after i took it apart a few times. still dont know what was the prob

 

atb
