    Over-powered AA S400

    right i bought an s400 about a month ago,NEW might i add and anti tamper,i have just been down the field target club for a zero session,so i filled it up to 180 bar and put 5 pellets through it on the chrono and they were all coming out at 11.52 ft lbs with AA fields (4.52) i went on to shoot a fifty shot string and then put it on the chrono again,the gauge read about 145 bar so i put another 5 shots through this time with the AA fields came out at 12.52 ft lbs and then another 5 shots through with falcon precision 7.33 grain coming out at 13.1 ft lbs.
    basically has anyone got any ideas about this...

    im a lawbreaker

    thanks chris

    I have often wondered about this situation… what if the gun shop confiscated your rifle for it being over powered when you took it back?

    Take it back to the shop you bought it from, they will send it back to the company they bought it off to be brought down in power.
    I cant imagine a gun shop taking a gun off you that is under warranty that you bought from them a few weeks ago

    Wonderful concept this anti-tamper idea, don't you think?

    As smudger said, take it back, it's the dealers's problem.

    If he's not licensed for Section 1 firearms it might be a bigger problem.

    Take it back sharpish,and if the dealer talks of confiscation,remind him they sold you an illegal weapon,from a manufacturer who have removed all methods of you keeping the rifle legal.

    Just hope you don't get stopped on your way to the shop,as it will be you that carries the can.Great,isn't it.

    ATB,
    Chris.

    You can't really blame the shop, how many would chrono a full string before selling you a gun?

    This is why I refuse to buy new rifles and will always buy second-hand older guns where I know I can fulfil my legal obligations.

    Don't worry too much.

    The worst they can do to you is 6 months inside and a £5000 fine.

    Oh! and costs, destruction of your rifle and a Criminal Record.
    Mind they have to catch you first

    Are you a law breaker? In my eyes I don't see how you can be. You bought the gun in good faith and it has crept up through no fault of your own and you can't turn the power down because of the wonderful laws in this country. Of course if you get caught the law won't see it like that. Best to take it straight back to where you got it and ask for a replacement,and if they try and confiscate it tell them that it has AT and it isn't your fault.
