What sort of price should I expect to pay for an AA s400 service

[lloyd-holmes]

Spoke to a shop last week about servicing my s400 I.e changing all o rings and seals and they quoted me £150 that also includes chrono test...... does this price sound about right or abit steep?

Also spoke to them about rebluing the cylinder and barrel as they had been neglected before I got the rifle however they think it will be cheaper to just replace both the cylinder and barrel what do you lads think about this?

Many thanks

£150 to service a 400 they are a very simple rifle to work on, assuming it's pre AT, so it sounds expensive to me.

I would say £150 to service an unregulated PCP is very high. I would certainly have expected less than £100. I agree with Trumpetier, they are a very easy rifle to work on

Assuming nothing is broken, and the AT has been removed it's about 1 hour's work and less than £5 worth of materials. If the firing valve needs replacing (not a bad idea anyway) add a tenner. A cylinder is about £40 and a barrel £130.

as mentioned above sounds an awful lot to charge for a service. Does it actually need a service? holding air ok , shooting ok? can you put it over a chrono at all to see what its shooting at and at what consictency .

Exactly so easy to work on, if they had to remove the AT that would only be an extra half hour or so....but.... is it causing problems, got a leak or whatever? because if it isn't can't see the point of a "service".
Might as well wait until it has to be stripped for reblueing or replacement, cost me £45 for a new carbine cylinder earlier this year just before Debens took over so probably dearer now.

If it's working OK and not leaking then leave well alone. There is nothing that a service can do that will improve it. You just risk something going amiss and you fork out hard earned cash.
