S410

[owlsurfer]

Hi im new to the forum, & wondered if anybody could help me out with any info on tuning a S410, purchased it this week, but i think its well under powered. Is there anyone in or around Warwickshire that deals with tuning up , thanking you in advance.

Get it chronoed, if it is underpowered then take it to a gunsmith.

Can they be taken above the 12 limit? & if so to which level

Without a FAC, No!

Why?

If you ain't got a FAC you are looking a 5 years in one of her majestys hotels and a life time gun ban. Ain't worth it is it?

point taken, just seems that i got more power out of a old bsa airsporter, thats how much power is seems to not have ,anybody know a good gunsmith then who would be able to help

How do you come to this conclusion? Is it because it doesn’t recoil? Doesn’t make as much noise?
AA are S410’s are pretty consistently above 11 lb.ft out of the factory.
If you perform a pellet drop measurement at different ranges, we might be able to tell you the approximate power it’s putting out.

Oh God, he had a mighty Airsporter!!!
The AAs400 dosn't recoil, it is quieter and performs much better. The Airsporter has a mules kick and a mighty crack! Check the power over achrono, I bet you will be surprised, BTW, Airsporters rarely achieved more than 9.5-10 ft/lbs energy.

Is it a full moon tonight??

Is it a full moon tonight??

I think it must be

[owlsurfer]

it's got a drop of three inches over 25 metres & that to me is something of a power lose, for a rifle like this if im not mistaken

Your best bet is to take it back to where you got it from and get them to Chrono it. Most good gunshops would do this for you, and rectify any problems fairly easily. That is the safest thing to do.

I had a power problem on a new rifle, and AA sorted it out without a problem. Returend within a week of posting to them.

i remember my first go with a PCP, which happened to be a s410k,and i thought it was underpowered.it had no recoil and was very quiet,which made me think it was a bit of a toy.when i checked it on a combro,it was producing a consistent 11.6 ft lbs.are you sure you're not thinking the same way i did ? the airsporter will seem more powerful because it recoils and makes more noise.i havent got a combro anymore, so i cant help you with that.you could take it to sandwell field sports, which isnt too far away.
