One thing you may want to consider is a piece of pvc pipe big enough to fit over the lever, and long enough to give you the leverage you want. My pro-sport seems easy to cock, at least to this 65-year-old, but not everyone would think so I imagine. Altering cocking technique is another option...

I've got a s510 carbine in .22, a Ultimate sporter in .25 and a Prosport in .22 Love them all. Apart from a small leak, after several years, in a pressure guage (easily repaired), they've functioned flawlessly.

I've hand pumped my pcps (both AA 510s) for years, but I used mine mainly for pests and occasional target practice. I use a Hill pump, but there are cheaper Chinese-made pumps for sale on the auction site. In any case, it's a good idea to have a hand pump as a back up, so you might start with...

My Pro Sport was quieted down quite a lot with a Neil Claque suppressor.

I've taken a couple of squirrels and any number of rats with lead-free in both .22 and 25. No problemo.

I've shot them in .22 and .25, and they're great. I'd shoot nothing but lead free pellets if I could afford them.

I've got two aftermarket mods, both from Neil. Love them.

I dropped PayPal when they started dropping groups whose political views they objected to. Never had a problem with them otherwise.

Air Arms s510 .22. Out of the box, nothing but net. No complications, no problems, and no outside tuning. Laser from day 1. Six years and going strong.

Sorry, I meant 25.4 grains. And that's in my .25 Ultimate Sporter by the way.

I've found the Air Arms Diabolo Field 24.5 grains to be extremely accurate. In the lead-free category, the Baracuda green 19.91 grains have worked best for me. I can't say that I've done an extensive comparison of pellets on a range, so take my experience with a grain of salt. Here's a test...

Are you checking the skirts on the pellets? I find a lot of inconsistency in them; you might try a batch of non-lead pellets to see if you get the same inconsistency since their skirts tend to be much more uniform. Just a thought.

1) AA s510 in .22. 5 years, thousands of shots, consistent and trouble free. 2) AA Ultimate Sporter xs .25 Four years, thousands of shots, consistent and almost trouble free--had to replace pressure guage, which took three minutes.

Very nice.
