Motörhead’s AG tuning

[tracker90]

I bought an Air Arms s500 from a member here about a year ago. While it performed good , I could never get the groups from it that I got from my regulated guns.

Finally decided to send it to Scott ( Motörhead ) for a regulator install and tune, all I can say is WOW , it shoots as good as my 2 crickets, single hole at 40 yards.

Haven’t had a chance to shoot it beyond that. But that was really all I wanted, as this will be for squirrel hunting in Alabama, not many shots even to that range in the thick woods I hunt in.

Many thanks to Scott , and would definitely recommend him as the one , especially for Air Arms.

Great news to hear ...

Only ACCURATE air guns are worth keeping & this gun would appear to have a long future in your possession.

Scott did a great job for me installing a reg and tuning a Daystate Regal. Not sure if he taking on any tuning work these days, but his work is excellent, and reasonably priced.

I've had Scott tune three of my rifles, and hope to have him tune more! Very good work, good prices. very quick turnaround.

Still at it ... Little here, little there on select projects

When you tune(let's say a pro-sport) do you include a tune certificate with before and aft. stats. and degree of tune?

On a certificate .. Nope.
Spring guns are for ever changing there "State of tune" due to air temp, humidity and a spring that takes a set then slowly sacks out over time.
Do provide if asked for a "Before" & always state an "After" & State what was done loosely, but never specifics

Need an apprentice so you can pass on all this knowledge. Our mechanical types are a dieing breed and will be sorely missed when gone.

Unless it performs sub-spec & not wishing to send it back .. OR, don't like the spring twang / shot cycle. No

Quang,
Shoot it for a while , then send it to him. You will not be disappointed. If I was to buy new I would have it sent to him first to avoid extra shipping.

Hi MH,
Thank you for your advice and I will. I want to get HW50 in .177 but it was not in stock. Would you suggest .177 or .22?
Thanks Mitch

Hello Mr. Motorhead,
Can you tune the airgun for me and would you mind to give me the contact info please.
Thank you,

I have known Scott (Motörhead) for many years.
He has serviced most all of my springers (a one PCP in particular) over the years.
His advice in his last comment hits the nail on the head.
While I know there are some who want to “tune” a springer right away, you should shoot it first.
1000 times.
It might take that long for the spring and piston to settle in.
Then, if the performance is not what you hoped for or the “TWANG” is something you cannot deal with, by all means send it to Scott right away.
Remember, just like when you may have dealt with a PB gunsmith, an airgun smith has a life and enjoys the fruits of his labors Too.
Scott is a past National HFT Champion and he can be again whenever he wants to spend the time at the practice range.
He needs to do that.
Your rifle or handgun will get his service on a first in, first out time table.
You do not want to texting him or PMing him on a daily basis.
I guarantee you will be very pleased with service.
