gameshooter93 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi all, im thinking of buying a bsa super10 pcp, its either a mk1 or mk2. Im just wondering how do you refill it with air, as i cant see anywhere on the gun to connect to the bottle? Any help would be great! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEshooter Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 The bottle unscrews, u will need the correct adapter to fill it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Wildfowler Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 used to have one needed to be serviced every 18 months as they are regulated you can also damage the seals and losen the fitting with screwing the bottle of every time to fill it think hard before buying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a long time Super 10 owner. They do not need servicing every 18 months. My mark 3 was 3 years old (mk 3 is the same as the mk 2, only the stock has been changed to extract more money) before it went to Bowkett, Got a mk 1 as well now, in .22, had an amateur tune it before I bought it and put in an over power hammer spring. This has been replaced and the power brought down to a respectable 11.4 with RWS Superfields. The fitting does not loosen with screwing the air bottle on and off, as it is held in place with 4 allen bolts! The O rings on the bottles can get damaged and cost a few pence each from Hayleys! They are easily the best PCP rifle that BSA ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasher Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Can I suggest that some one that knows how to remove the bottle explain to the OP how to do it as I know that if it's not done correctly it can be a bit dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfshot Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 type in to youtube ( removal of bottle from BSA S10 ) there is a good video showing how it is done. ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Simple way to remove bottle. turn bottle left half a turn fire three shots, repeat until regulator empties, you will tell because it clacks. Then unscrew, no damage to regulator will happen, refill and replace... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameshooter93 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thanks very much for all the help and information. It seems a nice gun, so i might treat myself!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 They are good accurate guns, 4.52mm for .177 and 5.52mm for .22 seem to be popular choices and work well in mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danoi99 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I'm looking at try to get one of these in FAC version. Lots of good feedback from many sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holts Auctioneers in Norfolk have got one, I know, they inadvertently sold it to me as a sub 12. The regulator does need attention and it does not have an air bottle or magazine, but it is equipped with an FAC regulator. I might suggest phoning them up and making an offer, then getting it shipped to John Bowkett who can fix the reg and blueprint it, the bottle would be best replaced with a 400cc one anyway.
