chrisjpainter Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Does anyone know if the m/s conversion for these is manually indexing - where you have to move the mag with your fingers - or is it automatic like most m/s guns? Also, does popping a regulator into it get the power up from 10.5 ft/lb (where they are when factory set, I THINK) up to a nice 11 ft/lb? Can you get shrouded barrels for them?

Can you get shrouded barrels for them? magazine is auto indexing fitted one to me m8s rifle easy fit. any decent gunsmith can up the power to near legal limit with the existing set up. i understood regulators give a more consistant air delivery as pressure drops. have you had it on the chrono yet as i have people complain about lack of power when i stick em on mine and usually spot on! can't comment on shroud.

neil82 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 air arms unit is auto indexing, some have trouble setting them up, some don`t, I use them on both of my s200`s in .22 and .177, as for power adjustment is easy but remember that shot count will drop if you increase it, pm me if you want to know how mine are set, as for regs join the AAOC and search for Raj`s posts, he`s used an altoross reg in one with good results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytree Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 As Neil said ^^ You also have the option of a 5 shot bar mag from CZ which I find quite useful because you can load a couple of shots at either end without taking the mag from the breech. Handy in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Er, I've not actually got one...yet. I'm just thinking through about getting one. I like the idea of the gun, but would like a few things to be done on it. I've since had a look at the reg options and setting it at 11.5 ft/lb isn't too complicated. Anyone know about shroud possibilities, or is the barrel band too much of a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil82 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 stick a weiurach (however you spell it, they make the hw`s)silencer on it although the AA mod is not bad, as for power you won`t notice that much of a difference wether its 10 f/lb or 11 f/lb, the only thing that will know is a chrono, just learn your aim points and crack on, when I got my first s200 it was set as a target gun,, 6 f/lb, put 2 tins of pellets through it before hunting (not shot for about 10 years so needed to re learn how to shoot), dropped loads with it, then bought a combro and got paranoid about extracting as much legal power as possible, made no difference whatsoever to the amount of quarry I got, as for a reg, not needed, stays in the sweet spot for 45-50 shots in .177 so good for a long hunting spell or a round of hft, what more do you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Had the s200 with multi shot conversion and it was auto indexing,would def look at getting it regulated as every shot will be consistent power. Have a look on Air Arms Owners Club forum,supplier on there has everything you need,rifles for sale and a host of info,Raj worships the s200 and has done what you are looking to do.

secretagentmole Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 There are two rotary magazines for the S200 a manually indexed by Rowan and the auto indexing CZ/AA one. The problem is the little paddle which moves the magazine around. It can be a right basket case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I had my s200 Regulated by Simon (tench, BSA Owners Group), and in .177 , I get 55 shots@ 11.6ft/lbs 'AA Diablo field', before it drops of the regulator. I have never had a problem with the CZ indexing on 10 shot conversion,(regular drop of oil), and I have had the rifle 6 years, it has never missed a beat. A Barrel adaptor,from 'Best fittings', so you can fit a HW 100 moderator, makes it an awesome rifle. I know folk want more shots , but I can only carry so many rabbits.

secretagentmole Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) The one thing I do not like about the S200 is no safety catch! I never rely on it but all the same I do like it on a gun! Edited January 26, 2015 by secretagentmole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The I only ever load 9 rounds into the mag and discharge the empty chamber ,safely, immediately, so only cock it when it comes up to aim. therefore the triggers only live when I am ready to shoot. If I am climbing over gates ,' being dumb ', I like to know the weapons safe . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
