Picked up a lovely S410 from Granville today. Great guy and a pleasure to deal with. Everybody I've met or had contact with on the forum seems friendly and helpful no wonder it is so successful. Long may it continue.

Thanks for the reply Granville, pm sent.

I have decided to replace my ultra se multishot and am looking for an S410 or possible an S400 carbine (which I'd fit a Rowan multi shot system to). Have had an S400 classic before and whilst I really liked the rifle I didn't get on with the length/weight of it so really want a carbine. Would prefer...

A big thanks to Raj for helping with my S200 cylinder today. He not only took the time to drill out the holes I had elongated in my attempt to get the cylinder apart, but then also made some new inserts to enable it to be disassembled. A true gent and a credit to the sport and the forum. A pleasure ...

Thanks Raj, pm replied to.

Well I've been in the garage again this afternoon. Double checked and there is definitely no air in the cylinder. Have used a vice gripping as tight as I dare, the correct XTX tool, stilsons a hammer and heat and it still won't budge. Either it or me is going to end up on the scrap heap if I carry o...

Afternoon guys, The cylinder is definitely empty and whilst not as manly as your vice Raj (apparently size does matter) mine is pretty substantial/heavy. I'm pretty sure all the air is out but am going to have another attempt today. Might even get my good lady to have a go as she always manages to o...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Raj's method should work, I think I just lack the confidence to tighten the vice up a bit more, either that or air arms used extra locktite on mine. I may well take Raj up on his offer of help rather than risk damaging the cylinder. Can't wait to get it all done as I ...

Just tried again and all that's happening is the cylinder is spinning within the abrasive paper. I can't tighten the vice any more or I may compress the cylinder. I only seem to be succeeding in marking the black finish at the moment. Really frustrating. I decided to walk away before anger set in an...

Thanks chaps, I've already tried tapping it with a hammer but didn't want to hit too hard on case I damaged the cylinder. Raj I like the idea of the abrasive paper. I wrapped a pice of old inner tube around mine which did give a little play so your idea looks better. Will give it another go and hope...
