Air Arms S410

[steve_b_wales]

When I bought the above rifle, I read that before inserting the pellet magazine, the red 'mark' inside it, has to be lined up with the little notch. Would it still work if I did'nt do this, as I was thinking that in the dark, it would be difficult to see them.

Makes no difference mate, its just an indicator so you see when your last pellet is comin round. Its for people who cant count lol.

I read in one of the mags of someone putting a grub screw in one of the mag holes so when he is out at night he can tell when the mags empty. Seemed like a good idea to be if I was doing a lot of night shooting to save the dreaded empty chamber shot when you lose count.

Thanks to you both for your comments.

The air arms mag is a better design than many IMO as there is no spring to tension for it to index to the next pellet, unlike theoben, daystate etc. So as Paul says, the dot is just a marker, nothing more. And yes Steve, the grub screw isn't a daft idea. I saw an article somewhere that suggested Weihrauch could have blanked one hole in their magazine. That would have stopped you indexing fresh air when you lose count

My Daystate uses a spring but it tells me when I have fired 10 shots-na na nana naaaa

When I've used all 10 and pull the trigger again it goes Pfffft, rather than phut!

Iv got the s400 so don't have a mag lol

[evo]

my airwolf sends me a little beep when I,m empty :whistling:

[demonwolf444]

someone i shoot with put a bit of childs glow in the dark stuff on the indent on his s200 magazine so he can see when it lines up with the corner of the mag housing he know's the gun is empty when lamping and such.

steve as bullet said, it makes no difference at all it is only there as a visual aid mate,,you can normally tell when its empty when you push the bolt forward and there is no resistance pushing it due to the chamber being empty

Thanks for all your replies. I'm not sure where I read, or heard it, but I thought that the two had to be lined up before inserting the mag', so that it would work correctly. Now that's been blown away, I'm happy.
