Not Filling Properly

[pepper 45 55]

im still not happy with the s410 carbine. it only fills to about 130 bar. 20 shots and its down to 100. i'v been told not to go any lower. any ideas?

Take it to a gundmith. If new will still have warranty?

no its not new, very clean though. i'll have to take it somewhere to sort it out.

what happens when you fill past 130 bar, also when you run down the air past a certain pressure, some air rifle valves require a certain pressure left in the cylinder to keep the valve closed, run right past this point and it will require a sharp blast of air from the fill bottle to shut it so it can be filled up again

it won't fill past 130 bar. if I go down past 100 or so all the air comes out. do you think I should give it a blast? iv only filled it slowly so far!

[Girlypants 10]

first thing, as i said above, when the rifle reaches lower than 100 bar, theres not enough pressure keeping the valve closed so it dumps all the air left in cylinder, to fill back up cock the bolt back and keep it back so that its not pushing against the valve holding it open a bit, then give it a blast, dont go too mad and it will close the valve up, soon as it starts taking air again slow down the input of air and fill as normal

 

you might have another problem not related to this but its worth a try, just be careful

if its not filling past 130bar,then your bottle needs filling up?

[pepper 45 55]

I only got it couple of weeks ago. it was second hand but full.

[Girlypants 10]

if its not filling past 130bar,then your bottle needs filling up?

good point, i naturally assumed that was all checked, if when filling the rifle, the gauge on the bottle reads 130bar with the valve fully open on the bottle then the bottle needs filling

[pepper 45 55]

sorted it thanks. there was something wrong with the valve on the bottle.

glad you got it sorted
