Leiopython Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hey all, I currently have SGC but have been wanting an air rifle for ages as I can't use the shottie around the farms buildings. However I don't know much about air rifles and the makes and models It just so happens I mentioned this to a customer of mine who offered me theirs. She hasn't used it for five years so I'm taking it tomorrow to Otmoors near Banbury to see what they think before I actually use it. She's offered me the rifle, the case, a scope, a silencer and a 7L gas cylinder all for £100 If it's all in good working order (I know the cylinder will need to be tested), is this a good price?

Ttfjlc Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Never owned one but seeing the price they sell for (if it works) I'd say snap their hand off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttfjlc Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Even if you have to get it serviced you should be on to a winner for that price! Hope it works out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 That's cheap even if it needs work! Snap their hand off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 For that money even if it needs a major service that's a bargain. As long as the barrel isn't bent shes almost giving it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 She is giving it away, you either have the deal of the century or there is a funny smell somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDRsniper Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 If you don't have it I will.....IMHO one of the best PCPs out there. Had mine for years and it's light, accurate, and perfect for all species, you have an absolute bargain as you can't get one of these for much less than £550 without the scope and bottle! Add a bipod, a lamp, a gun sock and a laser sight for rats and you will have an excellent weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theskyfox Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 £100...what the hell?! Please don't tell me thats a scam lol. If its genuine...then you are on for a bargain. The S410 TDR is based on the S410 and many of the parts are directly interchangable. Even if the barrel is bent and all the seals are blown, spares and replacement parts are easy to get hold of. I'd buy it and put it straight in for a service...hell I'd probably use the leftover money to send it to BTAS lol. -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Jammy..good luck with it.great guns. My friend had a similar thing. A widow sold my friend her dead husbands 10 shot viper with a nitehawk scope for £150. It was in the packing box with an invoice etc from the shop and only 3 weeks old.

Leiopython Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks all!!! You lot and this mornings outing have cleared up any doubt I had with this rifle at his price Had a fun morning with some targets playing with the scope. A lot of practice required and I'll probably need a few more plays with the targets before I'm happy the scope is zeroed and have a pop at the pigeons etc I took to to the specialists this morning who gave it a going over. Apparently this rifle was made before the anti tamper so he was able to up the power to 11.4. It came with a tin of 5.6mm pellets which were too big so I got some 5.5mm diabolo field which seem much better. I don't think it's been cleaned or oiled for years so will give it a good clean tonight Here's some pics The cylinder The case The 'bits' The rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Can't remember exactly as gave them to the shop owner as he used quite a lot of his own pellets to check the rifle However it said 'WASP' on the front of the tin if that helps? Lucky ******! Tell me about it!! I've had more luck in last two days than I have in the last year...won £280 on Lord Windermere yesterday as well!!

Theskyfox Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Sorry, BTAS = Ben Taylor and Son. Its just one of many companies out there that can modify your rifle for you that's all. Probably the biggest complaints of the TDR series rifles is the low shot count. One of the ways to improve this is to get a regulator fitted, which can improve consistency of the rifle. It costs about £300 to get done depending on who you send it to. There are lots of companies out there that can do it, and Ben is one of the more "famous" out there. Air Arms have now addressed this issue with the installation of the S410 carbine cylinder (Now designated the S410F TDR). -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I suppose if my cylinder passes I could take it with me when I go out and refill on site? However having the regulator fitted could be an option in the future. How much would this increase the amount if shots too roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
