ANY ONE OUT THERE WITH A S410E FAC . I HAVE ONE WHICH IS KICKING OUT DAYSTATE .22 AT 970 FPS WHICH IS I THICK IS VERY WELL AND GOOD BUT I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GROUPING OT 50 YARDS .I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO SOME ABOUT THIS GUN WHO IS NOT TRYING TO SELL ME A SO CALLED BETTER FAC RIFLE. CHEERS JEZZA
used to have one, traded it in for a harrier X FAC, I had the same problem as you couldnt get it to group well at all on long ranges on air arms feild tried bisley magnums made a difference, have a go with the heavier pellets and see if it makes much difference, if not then I dont know.
Jezza - no need to shout, WE CAN HEAR YOU <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->
I'm interested to hear your problem, as AA400 series guns are so accurate at 12ft/lb's. I hope someone is able to help you, and will watch with interest.
If you draw a blank, it may be worth calling Nick Jenkinsion (Link Arms) 01803 842 683. I don't think there is much that he does not know about them. But I expect you will get lots of help from the inmates here too.
If the search function was working I'd asy look on there, but it's broken. I know that others have mentioned issues with the "E" model.

As Craig says, try a heavier pellet. BisMags work well in my friend's S410E and the 20.5 grain Exterminators are worth a try.

how many shots are you shooting before a refill?
I think that you will find that the full-power specification 410e has a fairly precipitous power curve.
I suspect that a reduction in power to 900 fps and a couple of chrono sessions will improve things no end.

The 410E doesn't have any way to adjust the power.
true, and a real shame... <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_frown.gif" alt="Frown" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:--> choking off the xfer port would sort it our nicely - as you say Russ, 900fps would be fine....
And reducing hammer spring would prolly increase the curve...
You might try asking at http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/79537 the 410E is very popular there.
Yes it does.....
Gets some spare hammer springs and and Dremel tool and start cutting coils! That's how I did it on my Huntsman to get it from 42 down to 32'ish ftlbs.
I was surprised how much spring I had to chop off though!
Start easy and continue - will take a while but you will get there.
Alternatively check into buying a high-power reg - I seem to remember that someone sells them for the 410.
970 = about 33ftlbs, I am going to GUESS that with the air available in a 410E you are going to get no more than maybe 20-25 shots before the POI starts to wander - especially at longer ranges.
Drop it down to - say - 900 and I bet that the number of decent shots is in the mid 30's somewhere.
Personally I find that I got better and more consistant accuracy out of my FAC rated .22 PCP's using Barracuda's when the energy level was hovering around 30 ftlbs.
Drop to 26-28 or so and the AA Fields/Daystates/JSB's are fine - however pop even these stallwarts up to the 31/32 level and I was getting fliers from time to time.
And no - not the usual ones that "Driver" error brings in either but tested on the bench by myself and others....sheesh..... <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_cool.gif" alt="Cool" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->
You get 30 good shots from 1 charge but can shoot upto 60 but need more and more holdover at range .I used the gun today and got better results by using pellet lube cheers for help from all of you outthere happy shooting
