Ollie-m Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 had my sub 12 .177 s510 for many years now and like it very much but recently picked up a new job to control many many pigeons in a cubicle shed and i keep loosing count of how many shots i fired meaning i end up dry firing. anyone know if theres a way you could setup an s510 to lock the bolt open when empty?

oldypigeonpopper Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Hello, not sure you can do that, if it is the same size air tube as a S410 i use to fill to 180 Bar down to 50 Bar and got 60 shots, just keep count, it will go to a lower Bar but do not let it get empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Do the mags not have markings to show when the last pellet is chosen ? If not, can't be too difficult to add something 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I've seen people block up one hole on an Air Arms mag so they know when to change mags in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 As long as you don't push that blockage by force into the barrel accidentally. Often the issue with a mag that won't let you push the bolt forward after the last shot is , you can't store the empty mag in your gun .not an issue if you have on gun storage but not ideal to find you have gone out hunting and your magazine is in a pocket of your other jacket .

Agriv8 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Had this last night on the rats on an old bsa ultra mmc some one on here sold me😜 usually I can count to 8 ok ( so I usually have a spare pellet or 2 if a rat needs a humain finish ) but last night you guessed it I was out ! Luckily I could get to it with my welly as spare mags were little use sat on the back of the Van - dohhh ! lesson learned Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clangerman Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 annoying the 510 mags don’t have markers but it’s not biggie to fire the odd air only shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
