Ebony1022 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 ter a bit of help guys bought a BSA s10 FAC off here a while ago and never got chance to try it due to work. Today I managed to get out in the field with it. I had a few problems the first being the zero would not adjust so I put that down to the old scope I had popped on it. Byt then the I realised the power was down. Then all of a sudden the air started coming out the barrel continuously. I removed the bottle and air then came out the bottle until empty!! Anyone any ideas l? I think seals but not sure what one and also are the normal seals the same as FAC ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 They will be the same... You may need to pop the reg also if it's been sat about without use for a while. Air gets past the seals and pressurises the rear chamber which isn't vented on s10... You may need to shim it too. Seal kits are about £10 for a full set. Once you have set it up you may find there's no issue with scope.... Also have a look at best fittings they have bottle valves and gauges with quick fills so you don't need to remove bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 The regs are prone to failure over time especially with the s10. The airgun doctor might be able to help . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpotttt Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Depending on where you live, a call to Ratworks would be a good move and Airtech is another who is a super tuner but has had some issues so could result in a long wait to get your gun back. The other contact is John Bowkett who is a master when it comes to BSA pcp guns. I must say that I have not used any of these but have been regarded by many as top people. Hope that helps Phil Edited March 31, 2018 by philpotttt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Send it to john bowkett He designed it and will blue print it Tats a full strip and making all the parts to the tolerances only a custom maker could do ..it will come back with all of his test certificates.which will add value and desirability to the gun Link to work https://m.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=316502235061325&id=178352388876311 As you have fac it can go straight to john as he iregestered rfd from your rfd Edited April 2, 2018 by psycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
