Hi Mark

I will have to make a note of my shot string when i next get the chance and hopefully sum1 would help me plot on a graph as its new to me.

I curtently have the gun in bits and its a discrase inside not been looked after at all so new seal kits will be put in next week

Thanks

Pay special attention to the hammer rail while apart. You want a mirror finish on it and no lube. You might also want to replace the firing/exhaust valve too. If the guns a bit tired inside its likely that there will be wear to it.

Make sure the firing/exhaust valve is spotless when it goes into the valve housing

Gave her a good clean up and got all the gunk out. The hammer is that tarnished colour but gave it a good clean.

what does the firing/exhaust valve look like Geordie

cheers

Aye i remember it now. That part was clean just tje hammer what was tarnished

When it goes back together youll find out if it was clean enough

One more thing. When you reassemble, cock the gun before filling it or you'll just get air coming out the barrel. You need to give it a quick blast of air to close the firing valve.

I read them tips on here before. I have put it all back 2geta apart from attaching stock.

filled to 180 and no leaks of air. The gun even fires got 5 shots off at 11ish ftp

i was suprised how easy it was to strip to be honest. I plan on stripping again through week to replace seals when i order some.

Thanks for the tips

cheers

Sum1 mentioned if she shoots to high i should reduce the power via the hammer/spring?,

is this easy if i dont know how to do it?

i was told it could save air which adjusting the magic screw wont

Cheers

+1 for the above spot on advice.

A new firing valve is about £10 and fitting a new one to my S410 carbine resulted in a much 'flatter' power curve. Over time they can suffer from extrusion problems (search for extrusion on posts made by a chap called cloverleaf on another airgunforum for the story). All spares are available on here from bgalt and as a member you'll get 10% off spares prices

One other thing is when you come to take off the brass firing pot (nipped up by a grub screw hidden under the pressure gauge block BTW) make a note of how far it sticks out from it's alloy housing. 57mm is the usual ball park figure.
