Help needed - Best Regulator for AA S410

[Luckky]

Hi all,

Haven't been on for a while but you guys have always helped before. I am bored with y my power curve and want to fit a regulator to my S410. Ben Taylor's work seems highly regarded but can't seem to find him on any forums lately, what's the best regulator and if there's no drilling, where can I buy one? If it needs drilling. Where near norwich or Southampton dan I take it please?

The HuMa Air Arms S4*0/S510/HFT500 regulator has been developed for the Air Arms S400, S410, S510, TDR, Ultimate Sporter and HFT500. They fit inside the air cylinder and involve drilling a small vent hole in the cylinder. They can be DIY fitted or they can be professionally fitted.

Or try airtech , Ratworks , and have a look on the AA forum

ben Taylor has retired I'm sure.

Buy one from Rob Lane, easy to fit yourself.

after sales service is superb.

If you're going to regulate an Air Arms then you've got to do it right so you've got the best out of it or not bother. That means spending a fair bit of your time setting everything up bob on or spending a fair bit of money for someone else to do it. Robert Lane has a separate download document for just Air Arms regulators on his site. Worth reading as it would apply to any make being fitted...He reckons he'd charge £195 just to set it up.

Thanks everyone, very useful!

So it's a classic 410. It has a lovely walnut left handed stock too!

Reasons I want a regulator is I notice about a 3" drop or gain at around 40/50yds from 180 to 100 bar and when both shooting quarry and also medium / long range targeting, that's just too much change for me!

Agree I probably need to clean the insides, what other recommendations would people have if I don't want to drill?

If you want a good job doing try Dave at Airmasters. Did a great job on my Scorpion

Why regulate it?

A good 'tune' or clean, polish & set-up will give good results and monies saved could buy a lot of pellets and air refills

Just my 2p worth (had a btas reg'd MPR, still got the MPR but it's not rigged anymore )

Rich.


Ps. If you need a reg. then speak to Dave Wellham (Airmasters88)

3" sounds excessive. Might be worth just replacing the exhaust valve if rifle is not new as they eventually suffer from 'valve extrusion' (again info is there to read on this subject) . Changing mine resulted in a much flatter power curve even before I regulated my own .177 S410s. Regs are easy enough to install but take time setting up correctly (one of mine was a doddle....one was far, far more awkward/fiddly/time consuming). Plenty of info out there if you look. Some of my own findings are on the airarms forum.

Ok so I've decided to see if I can by or borrow a chrony for under £50 (let me know if you have one you wish to sell) and I'll start with a polish and a clean this weekend. I'm then going to see what difference it makes to the power and the drop off and then see if it's worth putting a reg on.

Thanks guys

I fairly recently fitted a Rob Lane reg to S400, drilling the hole really is easy if you secure the cylinder and use masking tape. It now shoots fantastic, every shot is predictable now. I was surprised to hear that he fitted a reg to something and got it very wrong, however as I say, his regs work very well, as do Dave Welham's (Airmaster).

In short try googling 'Robert lane regulators' and search on other Airarms specific forums!
