Not a happy chap

[carlbritz6 17]

I bought a new air arms s400 from my local gun shop last week and I've only used it a few times! I had the gun in a slip in my kitchen just now, not near any heat or nothing and out of no where my gun started leaking air!

Has thing happend to any one before?

sometimes if you leave the air run low in the gun theres no pressure for the seals to seal..how much BAR was left in the gun when stored away?

i had a brand new s200 once mate , cylinder leaked from day 1 , replacement was fine though atbB

[carlbritz6 17]

The gun had about 180 bar in it coz I pumped in up this morning to go lampin 2nite then the seal just went out of nowhere

[brassneck 128]

id get it back to your local gunshop in the morning mate as its brand new they should replace it or sort it , id avoid messing too much yourself incase they try and say its down to you , they tryed that on with me , had to have a growl at um before they replaced it

take it back to the shop it should not be doing that pal

[carlbritz6 17]

I'm taking it back 2day mate! I couldn't believe it just went pop and the air was just leaking out of the cylinder! Never have seen that before especially on my new gun

i would cry if that was my 400 i love this gun more then anything hope you get it sorted keep us updated atb

in future I wouldn't be leaving it in the kitchen, thats the one room in house thats bound to have falling and rising temperatures due to cooking, temperatures act differently on your gun/air etc, making it the worst place to store it, better off either in wardrobe/cabinet or under your bed

I only put it in the kitchen for 5 mins while I was getting my gear to go lamping! It's always in my cabinet until its ready for use

did you get it sorted pal ?

[carlbritz6 17]

Yea it's sorted now mate! The valve on the end of the cylinder had come loose so tightened the valve n it's sorted now

Great news! Something & nothing, and even if your in the know, and it's an easy job to fix, sometimes it can all go t*ts up, and they'll pin it on you, and wave a bill at you instead of a warranty job.

 

Happy lamping! Hope you get a bag full!
