Right lads was out with my gun other day all was fine just got the gun back out and the something loose in the air cylinder?? It's a AAs400 classic any ideas lads am gutted????

does it hold it's air , the only thing that I thinks in the cylinder is the firing pot assembly or the part of the filling valve , unless it's fitted with a reg , the only way to be sure is to empty it of air first and then unscrew the end and have a look , you can download owners manual with exploded diagrams off the AA web site, if not confident in doing this take it to a gunsmith.

Yes mate it's holding air and it fires

[shergar 42]

I would still empty it of air and take a look , could be the firing pot come loose it's held in place with a grub screw, if it's that not really sure why it's still firing as it holds the valve and spring in place, could be the air pressure holding it in , it's an easy fix if your technically minded and while you have her in bits change the seals

How would the fireing pot come lose?? As i ant droped or knocked the rifle? But I will take Look at it this weekend cheers for the info mate

[shergar 42]

don't know maybe just worked loose with use , if it is the pot there's a little dimple on it where the grub screw seats and the valve spring might be loose in the cylinder too don't lose it , download the user manual there's exploded diagrams which explain things better , once back together get the power checked to make sure nothing has altered

On the air arms sight someone pulled a piece of plastic out of there air cylinder .It was called a depinger or such it was there to make the gun a little more quiet some guns have it some guns dont .The picture of this thing it was a piece of plastic rod with a hole in the middle ,it looked like .some thing like this could be floating in your cylinder .If the gun is holding air and shooting properly .

the depinger if it has one I think is a fairly tight fit in the cylinder would not think it would rattle but I could be wrong , what type of rattle is it rex I mean is it a metal against metal type of rattle ?
