Re: S510, De-Cocking, Magazine, etc.

I have the 410 extra(fac) and would never leave one in the spout . A rolled up pair of jeans with the muzzle against it will not make hardly a fart. BBF Yeah, but I'd hate to ruin a perfectly good pair of jeans! And I'm too old to appreciate the current fashion of wearing jeans with holes in them (...

Re: Side focus wheel which allows magazine on S510

So the Airmax Hawke wheel is very different to a sidewinder wheel it seems I guess it is. But http://www.hawkeoptics.com/side-wheels.html shows that #63011 (which is like mine) and #63012 are both compatible with Sidewinder ED, Airmax 30 SF, Endurance 30 SF and Endurance SF. It looks like yours mus...

Re: Side focus wheel which allows magazine on S510

Re: Side focus wheel which allows magazine on S510

did not Thank you for confirming (and correcting your post). Please tell me, BEFORE you cut your wheel, did you believe that it would work? I'm asking because when I look at my wheel and magazine loading port, I DO believe it would work. But there must be a gotcha that I'm overlooking. Judging from...

Re: Side focus wheel which allows magazine on S510

The smaller 2 inch wheel works (Target Wheel Type 2 (50mm) ) - this is a Sidewinder, 30mm tube on high Sportsmatch mounts I tried hacking a quarter out of the large wheel and it still did allow the magazine to be inserted Please confirm what you just said... or is it a typo? With hacking a quarter ...

Side focus wheel which allows magazine on S510

I really want to use my side focus wheel (Hawke Airmax 30 SF 4-16x50) on my new AA S510, but with the wheel installed the 10-shot magazine cannot be inserted or removed. My Hawke and Air Arms dealer tells me that another wheel is unavailable. (I'm reluctant to start cutting the original wheel and wo...

Re: S510, De-Cocking, Magazine, etc.

If you had cocked to fire at vermin surely the noise of firing at dummy would be the same - or am I being a dummy? No, you're not being a dummy. There would be two possible reasons I don't take a shot... either the vermin has suddenly run away, or neighbours have come out on the adjacent property a...

Re: S510, De-Cocking, Magazine, etc.

another alternative is strimmer nylon https://www.stihlusa.com/products/trimmers-and-brushcutters/trimmer-line/comrndline/ 4mm should fit a .177 barrel Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: S510, De-Cocking, Magazine, etc.

Roger and Peter... Great idea about the cleaning rod! Now the challenge is to find one! Believe it or not, I've just spent 10 minutes Google searching for fiberglass rods and other than for an industrial supplier (who don't sell retail and won't sell just ONE rod) I couldn't locate a source here in ...

Re: S510, De-Cocking, Magazine, etc.

Like others i would never leave it with "one up the spout" .. IMO has to be fired off to save any future confusion .. if you are willing to take your pest control shots .. just put a soft target out on "your range" and when done if still cocked .. take the shot The reason I woul...
