s410 cylinder change..

[The Reverend]

While you are in there and going to all this trouble, might be worth replacing the valve too. They only cost about £4 and apparently, the new one is supposed to be more efficient, giving a few more shots per fill.

hi all,

went to the range and shot 70 shots,until the gun was starting to string downwards with every shot,
the guns valve seemed to be stuck on 50 bar ,
back home,and i fired air through the gun about 8 times before a very feeble "wizz" of air came out,
right,out with the mole grips and the scrap of leather belt i always use and within 10 mins .. it was all done
the end filler part was slightly "harder" to unscrew,although it was quite easy to remove,
i re-screwed the end filler valve part way back in while i used the grips to unscrew the cylinder,

both cylinders and gun

inner valve tube thing

i had thoaght with the longer tube on that the tdr silencer wouldn't fit,id already got a "ukneil" adapter on standby
but it still fits (which made my day )

clearance of cylinder and silencer

i grabbed the hills pump and filled her up to 180 bar and several hours later its still all in ,
and it still all fits in the t.d.r bag/box
i can feel its now slightly more front heavy,
i think im going to like this gun better now
il be back out on friday givin it a go,and poss a run through my cb625,

cheers guys,

JASON..

Glad it all went OK.

Glad you're sorted, they really are simple guns to work on once you over come the fear of high pressure compressed air

[SNAKEBITE]

Is it possible to check and clean the inside of the cylinder once it is off?
I use a Pump rather than a bottle and was wondering if it was time to check for corrosion or grease from the pump.

Its quite easy to take the front filler block off, and have a look. if its started to rust, replace the cylinder. (And get a bottle..!

i had a good look inside both,and there was no rust or anything on the surfaces,
but removing the filler valve is a realy simple thing to do,

im thinking about getting another bottle as im always cream crackered with the hills pump
