John814ce's hybrid S510 Carbine

i'll leave him to give you the spec

I think this is how the s510 carbine should look like in my opinion. Especially with aa using the 15.5" barrel and choosing the long shroud with the baffles which can cause in accuracies in some cases. Iv chosen the shorter 30cm cylinder and the tdr silencer and tdr shroud tube which users the threaded design, not the grub screw design which is on the ultimate sporter. Thanks to Julian bond who aided helping in this project and with his experience and expertise the tdr shroud parts made more sense to me rather than using the ultimate sporter design. Also features a 2way 3d adjustable genuine air arms galahad buttpad which helps snuggle the rifle perfectly into the shoulder. The shot count hasn't change for me from the old 40cm cylinder because i only ever shoot within the sweetspot, and i was only getting 40 sweetspot shots with the 40cm cylinder anyway and now its the exact same with this 30cm cylinder. I hope you can agree this is a beautiful example of one of the best air guns ever built.

Myself, iv done all the work.
Its now running 40 sweetspot shots from 160bar. 8.44gn jsb 760 fps with a fps of 3-5 . It feels .... i can only explain it as , this is how an airgun should feel, you know when you pick up and shoulder an s410 carbine for the first time and it feels perfect,light,balanced, and not sticking out a mile? well this is like that but on another level.

[Blackbaronfish]

I bet it has a good balance

Yes its really alot lighter than the standard s510 carbine. A bit more weight toward the shoulder now, very very nice im really happy with the result. Thanks Julian

Your a bit late John, done this back in 2009 plus it's reg'd with antibounce hammer and sitting in an MPR stock, and I cut the shroud to fit myself, but then what would I know. Rog

[John814ce]

Nice one Roger5

[John814ce]

Did you know you dont need to use the anti bounce on the 12 ftlbs hammer spring? If you dont believe me then cock the rifle then strip block from cylinder then film the hammer while dry firing on slow motion around 250 frames per second and watch the hammer hit the value stem. But what do i know?

[Roger5]

Did you know that you can cock it with the bolt housing off, no need to cock before you take it apart, you've learnt something else now haven't you, and as Pete said, what's an RFD, oh I know, it's a bloke I don't need LOL
