Any top reccomendations for a full mot / service on the above, willing to travel some way.
S410 Air Arms
- Thread starter finnbear270
- Start date
I have an S510 and did a full strip and reseal myself at home last year. It's pretty straight forward once it's apart and quite satisfying.
Absolutely replace the firing valve as well as all the seals.
There is a really good YouTube video which shows how to do it in detail. It's about 1hr long but a superb video. I will try and find it

Thanks for that. That has to be one of the best videos I seen for the disassembly of any rifle.
Get the bits direct from AA.
Better doing it yourself as have heard horror stories about certain gun shops being unable to do even a basic seal replacement. I have done the seals on my FAC Daystate and AA s 210.
Get some high pressure seal grease to put on seals slight coating.

Having done this on a few occasions, I’d send it back to Air Arms themselves. Undoubtedly there are other competent folks able to do a good job, but AA see these day in day out and from my experience, do a fantastic job! No travel needed, other than to post it (just the metalwork - no sights or stock) to them directly.

Hello, Where in UK are you ??
I broke it all down when the spares all arrived, Well, what can I say, someone without any care or correct tools has been into it.
1. Three hex head bolts that secure the side panel that has the slide for magazine operation were badly stressed to almost stripped.
2. The alloy mounting block that has the contents pressure gauge on it had been mauled by I assume some sort of grinding process.
3. Someone had been fiddling with the pot, (Reckon trying to up the Ftlbs), & a spring cap was missing.
I have decided to relegate the remaining good condition parts such as stock, cylinder, etc as spares for anyone who is doing a restoration & possibly in need of bits.

Hello, That is a shame for such a quality PCP, Is is not possible to source the damage parts and rebuild ??I broke it all down when the spares all arrived, Well, what can I say, someone without any care or correct tools has been into it.

Have we gone from service to scraping it? Are the internals that bad? Did it shoot when you got it or was it bought as a project?I broke it all down when the spares all arrived, Well, what can I say, someone without any care or correct tools has been into it.

Would leak down, .. my reason for going to do all the rubber seals ... shot well though, but no interest / pleasure in it now.
