Gerry Attric 1 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 My S410 wasn't happy about going to work - the magazine just refused and wouldn't load. A good squint revealed the snapped O-ring. Amazingly my local RFD had them in stock so the mourning period was short. A tragic end for someone so young nevertheless. This mag had about 400 pellets through it - 40 fills - and was fairly new. Was this young O-ring taken from us prematurely or is this a normal life span? Any comments and/or commiserations welcome.

jamesS410 106 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Air arms recommend lightly oiling the magazine o-ring in order to prevent it perishing and hence extend its lifespan. RIP Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Perhaps just one of those things... Not everything is perfect build wise, not even a 410. Epically savage at finding its mark though. How much was a new magazine just out if interest? Quote Link to post
Gerry Attric 1 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Rez S410 10 shot magazine is £32.50 at my local RFD and mag O-rings are 68p each !! so I invested in some O-rings. I'm Scottish by the way ! Quote Link to post
John Stott 202 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Stick a drop of oil on it very week and rub it all the way round as they advise. Had one in weekly use for over two years. Quote Link to post
