Air rifle servicing

[The Singing Stalker]

Is there anyone in Hampshire/Berkshire/Wiltshire who services air rifles?
I have a fastfire 10 and it isn’t taking an air charge and now has dumped what little air is in it.

Of course now I am in demand for ratting and pigeon removal. Typical. To be fair that is probably why it has all stuck as it was getting so little use up to now.

Don't want to hijack the thread but if you find someone I'd be interested in getting their details please as I have a Walther LGR that won't hold a charge.

 

[The Singing Stalker]

Well if all else fails I will probably end up taking a trip to see the airgun doctor. I would much rather avoid the trip though. There must be someone local..ish.

Giver Barry Brown a call @ Rakers nr Petworth. He is part of the RFD and services air weapons.

Try the Ranges in Devizes Wiltshire.

Realise it may be a trek for you to Petworth, but if you ever get up to Bisley, Barry is a BSRC member so you could arrange to transfer your kit to him there.

I thought it was “if you build it, they will come”.

Silly question, but have you tried pulling the bolt back when charging

 

[The Singing Stalker]

Yup.

 

[Kevgun]

It was just a thought, my Rapid 7 won't take a charge if its empty until you pull the bolt back

I know a chap who is a Daystate registered servicer based in Ash is that's any use?

He can fix practically any air rifle and is an RFD

Happy to have a chat with him if you could send me his details thanks.

Decided to post back to Pax Airguns in Highgate. The guy who made them goes in and services them so seems like the most sensible option.

Happy to help but in North Essex

Buy a seal kit and do it yourself, just had the same problem with an s410. Turned out to be the fill valve internal seal.
Only took an hour to strip and rebuild

did my S410 xtra last year, was easy, my regulated Ultra on the other hand is not playing nicely

 

[The Singing Stalker]

I sent it off to the nice man in London who used to make them. And luckily I did as it needed a new valve as some previous owner had some some, cough, engineering work to it.
All good now and bowling rats over.

In the East Midlands I would have no hesitation at all in advising the services of Phil Crampton at Ratworks in Newbold Verdon, Leicestershire. I had him service and at the same time fit a regulator to my .177 BSA Scorpion T-10 and set it for 11.5 ft/lbs so as to have a safe margin below the 12 ft/lbs limit with any pellet.
