Pigeon_decoyer Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I'm not certain what it actually is! I mean the model of it, whats the difference of like an AA air arms S410 to a normal Air arms S410, As I'm confused! Please dont laugh Cheers Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Air Arms own pellets. I have tried just about all there is to offer and they are without doubt the best grouping ones. Wash them in a mild fairy liquid solution, dry them, and they spray them with pledge polish. Gently. They will take you near or over the 12 ft limit.

Gareth0689 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 There is the Air Arms s410, and there is the s410 carbine which is the shorter version of the standard s410. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon_decoyer Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 ok I have the air arms S410 carbine then! I didn't really like the longer version even though you get more shots! PD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 hi mate the Air Arms S410 carbine a very good gun and from the looks of it a very good price as well cant go far wrong feeding your new pet Air Arms fields i think theres a site about called airammo that do JSB exacts (basically the same as AA field only cheaper ) think you will have many fun hours with it as long as you dont get bored of hitting what you aim at all the best ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon_decoyer Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Cool, Now I am really looking forward to gettin it, Should have enough money by the end of the week to pay the rest of the money! Will post some pics up when I get it! What distance would be best to sight it up for? Cheers PD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 the settting up or zero distance is purly personal choice but i normaly set up for about 35 yards, but you can set up closer or further away depending on what your comfotable shooting out to (though 45 yards would be max hunting range in non FAC) do a search on "chairgun" a really helpful computer program (if you like that sort of thing) all you do is tap in the pellet your using and the power (or was it velocity?) of your rifle and it should give you a little graph showing the trajectory of the pellet so you can work out the hold over/under. Got to say i prefer the old fashioned way my self i.e. lots of practise down the club then again i never was any good with computers LOL so that might be why i prefer the club LOL hope this helps you out a little ROB PS i think theres a post about zeroing in a scope a few posts back. axe did a rather good good there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big simmo999 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 My mate has one and he uses AA field domed - deadly!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn9914 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 i used accupell in my 410 carbine found them to be very very good when reading air gun magazines they were allways highly recommended i sold mine for £450 with scope and pump sold it when i purchased my sako .22lr rimfire wish i still had it as i have been asked by the farmer to shoot some feral pigeons in his barns sako not suitable for this just goes to show you can never have too many guns cheers shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon_decoyer Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Are the pumps any good? I've been told they are really hard to push down and wears you out a lot! But others swear by them! PD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_nick Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 They are really good for giving you an upper body workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon_decoyer Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 How long does it take to fill your gun up? Roughly how many pumps, I has a go on one ages ago and you couldn't even push it down! PD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Hi mate, basic rule of thumb is one pump for ever shot you fire (80 shots = 80 pumps) it can be a little on thie tireing side if you shoot off ever availabe shot. But i would seriously consider a bottle, its easier and cleaner though can be a little awkward if there is no place to fill them close by. i used to have an AA S200 using a 12Ltr 232BAR bottle i would get about 3-4 months usage doing 500 pellets per week. but the pumps arnt as hard as some would let you belive LOL all depends on how much you want to spend bottles are around the same price as a new pump though postage is a little more on the bottles and its not a one spend buy (you have to keep paying to top them up) hope this helps you out a little ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadSpringer Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I now have a 2 pack LB I bet you had a 6 pack but drank 4 cans watching the misses charge the rifle! I use a pump with my S410K and it's not such a big effort to charge it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_nick Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 There is however something else to be aware of and thats moisture. If you fill from a scuba tank the air should be quite dry. However if you use a pump you will get a certain ammount of moissture build up in the tank, and I have been told a certain ammount of rusting to you steel barrel within the first 4cm or so (very important to clean the barrel regularly and keep it lubricated).

1 of 5 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Get a tank. You see lots of pumps that are nearly new for sale but you never see a nearly new tank for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rooster Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Only problem with a tank is that you need to keep taking it for a refill, also aren't they supposed to be checked every so often to make sure they are safe ?. It would be nice as pumping up the Axsors is really hard aerobic exercise !!! I suppose that all of you are aware that carrying PCP's in your car renders your insurance void ?. Don't get me wrong because I hate all the petty legislation we are constantly tripping over. Apparently it's because it's classed as a pressurised gas container. It must be possible to get around it in some way as works vans can often be seen with gas can warning labels on the back. This subject came up some time back in one of the air rifle mags and I only mention it in cvase you guys didn't read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon_decoyer Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 But if I purchased a 12ltre bottle it's hardly much hastle getting it filled up once every 3months, It's ment to only cost a couple of quid, Wel it's ok for me I only live up the road from the diving shop :thumbs: PD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyBasher Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 But if I purchased a 12ltre bottle it's hardly much hastle getting it filled up once every 3months, It's ment to only cost a couple of quid, Wel it's ok for me I only live up the road from the diving shop PD It is well worth saving a few extra pounds and going for a 300 bar tank and telling the shop that its for surface use only you will get allot more fills from the tank (saving time & money) also having only a surface pressure gauge fitted it will only have to be tested every 5 years instead of 2 years. As for the 410 brill. although i have a R 7 i use a mates 410 now and again at 35ftlb its deadly accurate. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
