Ultrastu Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Bruno on here is the air arms expert. You could pm him . But if air is coming from the barrel /mag area .then its usually the firing valve leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I am told mine is a Mk 2 and I am delighted with it. Very accurate and devastating on tree rats, magpies, feral pigeons. I KNOW someone on here will be....there told you, he beat me to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro_carper Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Problem solved needed to be cocked whilst pumping it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 As I said . Only needs doing if the existing cylinder pressure is too low to seal the valve . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 The AA S200 is a cracking little rifle, I love mine and my TX200 rarely sees light of day as a result. I rarely fire more than fifteen shots on an outing and always pump it back up to 180 keeping the cyclinder full. Don't know if I should do this but it has worked so far.

oldypigeonpopper Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) hello, Always pays to keep a PCP air rifle topped up to a level that will hold the internal seals tight, not only that if your only having a few shots per outing it is easier to re fill if your using a hand pump, using an air bottle i would recommend letting it drop to a reasonable bar as you loose air on the release valve each time, that maybe one less fill from a 3 LTR bottle Edited February 7, 2019 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washerboy Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I had an early mk1 and hated it, couldn't get on with it. Too small loading port for my small fat fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertt Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I bought a cheapish bolt off fleabay and it lasted about 4 months and then fell to bits. Replaced it with a Rowan which is a very high quality product and been on the Mk2 for several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Mine at the moment has the standard grey plastic handle but come next week I might treat it to a nice new one if there are any at the show. If not I might just have to make my own.....another project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
