    TDR Losing Air ?

    Just went to use the TDR tonight and was shocked that there was absaloutly no air in it at all. I always thought that it didn't empty until it hit below 50 bar ? It may have just gone under 100 bar,But thats it. Refilled it ok and keeping an eye on it overnight. Can't hear no air seeping out. Puzzler. Any thought ? Anyone ?

    Air arms guns can dump at different pressures, it seems its down to the individual gun. Over the many i have tested, it had varied from 30-105 bar so see what happens in the morning.

    Lloyd (If you see this ?) I just took 50 shots and didn't push it no more. Ended up just over the 100 Bar and have refilled and I'll leave it and see whats in there in the morning.

    It's going to be more likely to leak if it's nearly empty, there will be less 'closing pressure' on the valve.

    No air loss at all overnight. So it was me The only gripe left (& it's a small one) is it's quite hard to cock. I have lightly greased the bolt probe,does anyone else know if theres a users way of "Easing" the cocking process ?

    Just keep using it and it should smooth out. Standard problem with new S410s.

    Dean you should find these guns easier to cock if you try pulling the bolt handle from as close to the actual bolt as possible rather than from the end of the bolt handle knob, this decreases the side thrust involved, usually even more pronounced when guns are new
