S510 broken top seer: where to find parts?
Posted: Sat Jul 01, 2017 8:54 pm
Give me some grace over my air-gun "newbie" status. I'm a handgun/rifle veteran. Had a spring-loaded pellet gun which served me well for years, but only recently acquired my first "serious" air gun - AA S510 Xtra FAC. And LOVE the accuracy that I achieved with zero tinkering.
This morning I used the last round in my magazine whacking a squirrel in my backyard. This afternoon, I got a little too excited when I spotted another squirrel, and got a little frustrated when I realized the magazine was empty. As I was hurrying to pull the magazine out in order to reload... I got it about half-cocked and let 'er slip, which discharged the gun (to my surprise)!! Glad the barrel was pointed in a safe direction. After that, it would never fire again. Dang it!! In my attempts to "re-cock" it several times, like an idiot, I've also probably got 2-3 pellets lodged in there.
At any rate - this forum allowed me to rapidly diagnose my problem as likely a broken top seer. I found a great video on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ge3cfq1AOQ, which was helpful... and confirmed the broken top seer. Ugh.
NOW my problem is - where the heck to FIND a new top seer? My 2nd questions is: Can I simply shoot 2-3 pellets out at one time without a problem?
Thanks again for this forum - and your kind assistance.
