davyt63 1,845 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 hi buddy glad you got it sorted! next time dont let it go below 50 bar as it will soon exhaust its air! then you need to cock it again before filling just make sure its not loaded! and if ya ever need any bits & bobs for ya rifle,contact this guy but you must first register with air arms owners club http://www.airarmsownersclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=113 all parts for Air Arms,at resonable prices regards Davy Quote Link to post
marko 30 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 thanks davy i registered on sunday but it looks like i have a leak somewhere on it i charged it up to 180 and today its on 175 so dropping 5 bar a day so thinking of getting some work done on it ie service and a tune but wont send it to air arms they want 90 quid for a service mate quite steep on the plus side i phoned air arms and the gun is april 03 so all i need is to find someone near enough to me who will help out with the bits and maybe talk me through stripping it might have a go myself quite handy haha might have a go of polishing and fettling ooer missus.

marko 30 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 all i need now is a chrono but all usual suspects seem to be sold out doh. Quote Link to post
andyz 30 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Quite often due to the temperature when filling up the pressure will drip slightly, not sure if 5 psi is about normal though! Did it drop any more on the second day? ATB, Andy Quote Link to post
marko 30 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 all sorted now andy im going to have a go at the seals myself this week then get it chronoed. Quote Link to post

jackinbox99 41 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 As someone else said, servicing its very easy to do youself. I bought a complete seal kit incl new bolts from ebay for next to nothing. In order to strip the gun you just need a few allen keys. Take your time over it and jobs a good un. Obviously, once you have changed the seals and re-filled the gun you should get it chrono`d to make sure its still pushing out the right power, and re-zero the scope. Im assuming your`s is the pre-anti-tamper model, otherwise, you`ll have to take it to a gunshop to get it sorted out as you have to drill out the anti tamper bolts etc. etc.... nightmare!!!
