truckboy1 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Evening all, Don't know if anybody has experienced this issue but I have just purchased a used S410 and when I cycle the magazine it will not cycle fully, any ideas?

evo Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 firstly check there is no pellet or other foreign body jamming it ,failing that strip it down and clean then reasemble it ,that should do the trick seems to me that something must be stuck inside it for it to be jamming up hope this helps,,, Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckboy1 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi Evo, thanks for that, I've got 2 x 10 shot mags and they both do it, I will take your advice and clean them both, I noticed when I cycle the bolt without a mag in the gun there is a brass piece that rotates the magazine, would you know if these ever fail?

jamiedenny Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I had this issue, changed the mag indexing post/spring and problem solved. Ditto, easy to do and you can do a trigger job at the same time :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 The O rings in those mags can be dodgy too, even when they are brand new! Mine was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckboy1 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Evening gents, you were right, changed the indexing post now all sorted, special thanks to Julian at BGA LTD in bridgewater to his help Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iced Tiger Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 There is also a mod you can do on the mags to preserve the life on the indexing spring on the gun. The mag has a spring and a ball bearing in it to allow only one index at a time. If you shorten this spring slightly (one coil) the mag will index with less force.

socalyankee Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I too have an Air Arms S410 that was not indexing properly. I purchased a new magazine and the problem continued. I then changed out the index post and the original magazine worked as designed. However, the new magazine still does not fully index. It appears to require slightly more force to move from one cylinder to the next (stiffer). I am glad the gun is working well with the original mag, but I would like to be able to use the new one too. I've read past articles about taking apart the mag and clipping the spring. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
