Air Arms Service - How to find an AA Gunsmith in USA
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2022 2:13 am
Probably under the "stupid question" category - but I'm struggling to find an Air Arms Gunsmith in the USA. Thought I'd reach out to this group to see if there is a resource you could point me to; or a smarter way to search Mr. Google in order to find a gunsmith for my Air Arms S510 FAC Xtra .22.
And for those interested in additional detail: BEST airgun I've ever owned. Had it for 5Y. Recently - I had an incident where I was trying some new pellets, had a magazine rotation problem (would only rotate about every-other round) and suddenly could hear a hissing sound and the tank emptied itself to zero. Sounded as if it was coming from near the area where the magazine inserts.
Wound up ordering a seal replacement kit from Pyramyd Air... but then got a little gun-shy jumping into the seal replacement. That's a BUNCH of seals! Ironically, on testing after partial disassembly, reloaded air into the cylinder to see if I could pinpoint the source of the leak... and NO LEAK. So far - it's been 2 days and holding. Crazy? I don't know. My source tank is getting a little low (only has about 1800 PSI at this point).
Endpoint- wondering if I should still have all seals replaced... but looking for an Air Arms gunsmith to do it.
Thanks - and my apologies for the lengthy post.
Kind regards,
Doc
