    I had one it's performance was excellent, very good trigger, accuracy wasted on me, reliable and never lost air. But it was heavy and the mag was awful which was the main reason I sold it.

    I've had three S10's, one of which was fully John Bowketted...lightweight reg, big bolt knob, new baffling in the bull barrel shroud.

    Loved everything about the guns...except the weight & even worse the balance.

    I keep toying with the idea of fitting a tactical stock off an Ultra, changing the bottle for a 280cc Theoben (balances much better than the 200cc, don't know why...it just does) & letting Tweaky fit me one of his regulators with a built in pressure gauge. Now that I believe would be what the S10 should always have been & perhaps what the compromise that is the R10 too!

    Hey up Ken,

    The Super 10 has a regulator fitted as standard, the so called "cigar" tube is the regulator. It will give up to 50 useable shots per charge even on a power level of approx 30 ft/lbs.

    Regards

    Thanks for that Dave

    I know the S10 is regulated, but the cigar tube is a wee bit agricultural hence one of the reasons I would have Tweaky do me one of his design..much lighter, much more air efficient & in my experience totally trouble free....not something I could say about the original!

    Anyway, you pays your money & takes your choice I guess
