S410 problems.

[TheRabbitWacker 0]

i have a s410 super-lite, its having problems loading the pellets into the breach. after ruling out that the breach is actually fine, the mag works fine and the indexing spring is ok, i`m stuck. Help! anybody got any ideas? The bolt is being held out by the pellets jamming and takes some wriggling about to get it back, obviously not ideal in any situation especially hunting which i use it for!

Rabbitwacker, Join the "Air Arms Owners Club" there are some real clever chaps on there. On there there are people who repair Air Arms and i would think someone on there will help. Will wait to meet you on the other side lol.

Hi RW,what pellets are you using ?

[Mawders 595]

My guess is the brand of pellet or the fact you may not be cycling the cocking bolt handle all the way back and forward again.

i have now had the problem sorted guys, the indexing mechanism was loose. after my local gunshop spoke direct to air arms they suggested trying this. it was not loose enough to notice but... loose enough to be causing a problem. thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply and for the advice

hi Davo

glad you got it sorted

yes indeed there is a very small slotted screw which holds the indexing spring to the post, I have had a few indexing problems my self .but never this one,so one to look out for in the future.

youve got plenty of shooting planned then

 

i dont have a car at the min so cant make it but i would love to have a go at them rats on that dairy farm!!.. maybe one day lol

 

 

just been out for an hour, got another feral in the shed was sat in the nest seen it moving its head about so i gave it a rangemaster li that soon made it stop

then i went for a walk into his woods, didnt see much only 1 squirrel that was about 8 yards away lol i aimed for head and hit branch under it then it ran off sharpish.

 

oh then a crow landed about 30 yard away in top of a tree so i blew his head off aswell first crow with 97 so i was chuffed. sky went black but because they saw me they didnt land so didnt get any more shots off.. not much about today.. wasnt really a 'good' friday
