(Air Arms S410) (Cocking) Bolt Action Problems ??

[Fawley84 8]

I Cant help but notice, how many people i see complaining about the cocking mechanism on the Air Arms s410,when most video's i watch on youtube online etc.in my opinion,alot of them are pulling the bolt back,far to slow as you can clearly see, and hear, it looks awakrard ,and sounds crunchy,it also clearly state's in the air gun manual it should be cocked, with just one quick backwards motion,but instead i think an high percentage of people,still make the mistake of just slowly pulling the bolt back,my mate was nearly crying with how bad he though it was,untill i showed him the quick firm way and he's never looked back,when i say quick its a bit exaghgerated but you get what type of motion i mean i think? is there any s410 shooters about? who could agree and know what im talking about here????

ive never had a problem either,but see a lot of people struggling with them, when there's no need.

Suppose you dont want to be rough with your pride and joy tho

 

I like how you can pull the bolt out enough to release the mag without having to fully cock the rifle

lol yes mate i suppose lol but my last one was a work horse i had it years wasn't really looked after,and it did not fail me once in any way what so ever,and yes its a good little feature, that is you mentioned with the mag,i also got rid of my hw100 to go back to the s410 i loved my old one that much lol i got the hw100 to see what the fuss was about lol but ive got to say it certainly lived up to everything said,in 1.77 but i just had to much time to get used to my 410 il loved everything about it really cant fault it, honestly.
