fry 209 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 im not one for choppin and changin rifles but i had an s400 that i bought back off my son as he never used it! i never used it because i have a 410 ! well today i met a guy at the aust services an swapped it and £30 for a 177 prosport i am well chuffed the only slight problem was the one piece scope mount i bought(up to 45mm ob lense) was a bit snug on my 44mm ob lense scope it really was a gnats whisker i ended up taking the self adhesive protective tape out of the rear mount and sticking it in the front which has made it clear. hope this dont throw the scope out much. any way heres the beauty.

gurtwurz 793 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 youll soon get used to it mate. i've got a silencer made by uk neil that fits the end with a grub screw, but its not a patch on the hw mod. i did try a home made one with a red bull can, some scotchbrite and haircurlers but it was just not quite right lol cheers, wurz 2 Quote Link to post
fry 209 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 could you post a pic of the hw mod with the tape off so i could see the way of it mate Quote Link to post

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Tastey,, always liked them,, some reckon they are the best piston gun out there,, try fitting strips of photographic film under the scope, on top of the bottom half of the mount. both front and back Quote Link to post
*Ross 4 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Lovely looking bit of kit, funnily enough I'm contemplating swapping my S400 for one too! Can't quite make my mind up if I can live with the weird underlever or not Quote Link to post
vizlauk 1,568 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Very nice gun indeed, I have 1 on my wish list ! Top quality bit of kit, I think you may have to change your scope mounts for a higher set, as you may struggle to zero in at distance. Quote Link to post

Top quality bit of kit, I think you may have to change your scope mounts for a higher set, as you may struggle to zero in at distance. really i have packed them up even now probably less than 1 mm do you not think that will do Quote Link to post
The Duncan 802 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 That will probably do, but suck it and see. Always, always fancied a prosport but never got round to owning one (need a much, much bigger gun safe now lol!). I am slightly envious as yours looks gorgeous. Please let us know how you get on with it ] Cheers Duncan. Quote Link to post

gurtwurz 793 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Just a thought mate, if a v-mach kits 70ish quid, doesn't tony wall charge about that to fully tune springers? Might be worth looking into? Did you get those pictures on fb ok? Cheers, wurz Quote Link to post
