KPV4 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Just wondering if anyone has any info on Air Arms air rifles? I'm looking for some info on a F510 SL carbine .22 air powered air rifle, does this model need a fire arms cert, the owner has just passed away so the remaining family are unsure of any details or if it requires a cert or not and they cannot find a cert at home. There is very little info on the net that I can find so just wondering can anyone on here give me some guidance. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPV4 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Oops wrong model it the S510 SL carbine. Is there an easy way of telling what the mussel energy limit is? Unfortunately the owners family have very little info....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbiter Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 you could take it to a rfd and ask them to check it,unless you know or can find someone with a chronograph mate...........DAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 the s510 is a great gun. i've had one myself in the past. you will need to get the gun run over a chronograph. a gun shop should be able to do that for you; just take it in and they will do it for you. mine does it for £5 but that seems a bit steep! Be warned though, if it's on or over the 12ft/lb limit, then they will not give it back and will then insist on payment for getting it set! Your best bet is to do it yourself, or find someone who has one. There are plenty of shooters on here from wales. If you say what part of wales you might get some kind soul offer it! hope that's of some help. It's a cracking air rifle though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plank06 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 If I'm correct the FAC model has Xtra FAC on the end of the name or something similiar, might it say this on the side of the action where it says the model ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytree Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Ask on the AAOC or phone Air Arms with the serial number, they'll tell you exactly what it is and what power it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Funker Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Get it tested at a gun shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
