    Air Arms How tunable is the Air Arms S510 XS

    Thanks! I will certainly take you up on that if I run into insurmountable issues. I wish I had had to opportunity to confirm the regulator setting before I had disassembled the gun, but I can always tinker with it later, if need be. I suspect it will be at least another week before I receive my...

    According to Air Venturi, O-rings and seals are considered consumables and not covered under warranty.

    Air Arms How tunable is the Air Arms S510 XS

    UPS wanted outrageous shipping fees to send my rifle into Air Venturi for a refurb, so I decided to try a DIY o-ring job. Hopefully I won't have to send it in anyways if I can't figure it out and fix the air leak.

    Air Arms Air Arms s510xs regulator rebuild

    I was going to send mine in to Air Venturi for servicing, but UPS wanted over $120 to ship to AV. Decided to try DIY. I just hope I don't have to send AV a bag of parts to reassemble!!

    Has anyone tried using an actual PB silencer on an airgun?

    Obviously it wouldn't make any sense to pay a tax stamp and the cost of a real suppressor only to use it on an airgun, but if one already had a legally acquired suppressor/silencer for use with an actual powder burning firearm, is it likely to work on an air rifle as well? Has anyone tried this...

    New Labradar LX

    My Labradar also doesn't reliably track past 75 yds, but that is a known issue for bullets of .22 cal. and under. Sometimes it tracks out to 100 yds. Larger bullets do fine out to 100 yds. I have not tried it with my PCP rifle yet. But even if it only tracks out to 75 yds., that's still enough...

    New JSB's to be released next week

    I fall into that camp of wanting reliable 100 yd. performance. A lot of pellets will likely shoot well at 50 yds. and under. At 100+ yds. the herd is considerably thinner, I would guess.

    New Labradar LX

    Cute, but I prefer the original which will track bullets out to 100 yds. The LX is limited to about 20 yds. May not matter to some shooters.

    Air Arms How tunable is the Air Arms S510 XS

    Placed a large-ish order of assorted pellets and slugs, to include back ordered JSB MRDs for future testing. I still need to send off my S510 XS to Air Venturi for servicing. Hopefully I'll be able to test everything in about 6 weeks from now??

    CF Air Venturi Tank Question

    My AV 98 cf (60 min.) tank is made by Draeger and is smooth with tape wrapped over the labels. I believe I bought it in 2018.

    Thanks, I assume that applies with .22 cal., as that is what I have.

    Air Arms How tunable is the Air Arms S510 XS

    @Nico5999 , so with a 1:17.7 twist rate, would it be a waste of time to try slugs? Would slugs on the lighter end be more likely to shoot better than heavier slugs? What twist rates do most slug guns use? I'm thinking wind bucking ability at 100 yds primarily, terminal performance on game...

    So the pressure in the air cylinder has to fall down to below the regulator setting before the velocity falls off, correct? Yes I have a few chronys.

    Air Arms How tunable is the Air Arms S510 XS

    My .22 cal. S510 XS seems to have a twist rate of about 1:17.75 in. averaged of several passes with the swiveling cleaning rod. Is knowing the twist rate of any use in pellet selection, or is it strictly trial and error? @Nico5999 , how does one determine the pressure setting of the regulator on...

    Odd, my email reply from AA states that it is not information that they release to the public!! What the heck?

    Anyone know what the twist rate of the S510 XS is? 1:12 perhaps? What twist rate do most slug guns use, 1:9?
