AIR ARMS OWNERS.

[jazz_11 5]

hello

i bought my air arms s410 the other day, its got a uprated spring in, which you can feel as its harder to load.

under the scope mount there is a little hole, which is the power adjusting screw.

now i want to up the power just slightly, (NOT ABOVE 12FT LB)

i just want to know how much power increase am i looking at per a full turn and is it a small * screw driver which is used.

also what is it increasing, the tension on the spring.?

please i want to get it sorted and chronod for sunday as i am out with scuzy and i am looking forward to it..

i was out last sunday down my permission and after having a word with the farmer he asked please do not shoot the birds off the barns

so we walked around the farm and it was crap didnt shoot anything..

plenty of ducks were there and a couple hundred starling...

then i had a shot out of the car window driving along the farm road on a crow and i missed trajectory of a .22 takes lots of getting used to lol

I'm a bit confused Jazz Your s410c has a uprated spring?? is that in loading bolt??Also you have recoil on a PCP??Is the recoil on the bolt??If the gun is new the bolt can be a bit stiff,notchy but i don't understand mate...also if it's a new gun i believe they can't be tampered with(??).

Get the gun chrono'd before you try any "adjusments" yourself after all you would'nt want your collar felt unless your on FAC of course.

I thought a S410 was a pcp thus having No spring? and the gun will do 12ft lb from the box? So "AS NEW". Is this a wind up?

yer it is mate they dont....

and yes its pcp but im not to sure about the spring, but when i bought it off a friend he said he got litts to fit in a stronger spring which gives it a slight recoil dont ask me... im only askin about the screw.

my mates other s410 has had the same spring fitted and it also has a recoil whereas when it was standard it didnt have one.

cheers

anyone answer my question

[Guest hyperion]

by the sound of it you want to go and get your money back mate!

[jazz_11 5]

why lol.....

 

theres nothing wrong with it..

[Deker 3,491]

Hammer Spring perhaps but this should not give "recoil" although it will make cocking harder!

 

BUT 12ft lb guns do NOT have Heavy duty Hammer Springs

your mate is pulling your plonker, i have an s410 and they dont have springs, thats why they are precharged - to do away with springs,

[jazz_11 5]

oh i dont know can anyone please just tell me about the screw thats all i want to know i am very happy with the gun

lols they do have springs mate...

as far as i know all pcps have springs in them.

because on my scorpion you had to remove tha action and then under the 2 trigger bolts to get the plastic circle thing off the back where you can then adjust it using something wide like a chizel to increase the tension on the spring...

so pcps do have a spring.

i was under the impresion that the s410 had a plug under the scope and it has to be drilled out to get to the screw, therefor if it has to go back to the factory for warrenty work and the plug has been tampered with they will void the warrenty,

[jazz_11 5]

no this one i got was bought new this year and used four times.. any work he has had done has only been don at litts which is the spring

[Deker 3,491]

I doubt it...

have a look at the manual

 

http://www.air-arms.co.uk/PDFS/S410ISS10.pdf

 

it does have a 'main spring' but i dont think it has anything to do with power,

in fact, if you look at the exploded diagram, the main spring fits behind the cylinder, so i can only suggest that this spring has somthing to do with pressure release?
