10 Fps

[pepper 45 55]

hi guys. iv just tested my aa s410 carbine. it only shot 10.1. is there anything I can do to make it more powerful, say 11.5?

[shadow_sniper 47]

You.mean 10.1flb. You would be best taking it to a gunsmith.

Although my ultra was only doing 10.6/and I humanely despatched loads of bunnies with it.

Have you been dry firing it?shooting without pellets?

If yes you may have blown breech seal.

[pepper 45 55]

no I haven't. but iv only had it 3 months or so. got it second hand. it holds air ok though.

does it put the pellet where you want it every time, does it group well with your chosen pellet, if your answer to any of them is yes then leave the bloody thing alone, too many get hung up over power when they would be better off improving their own shooting first, i`ll let you into the biggest secret in the hunting community, its not about how hard you fire a pellet between a rabbit or squirrels ears, its about putting it where it counts

Why bother ?

 

It takes around 2 ft /lbs to kill a rabbit. I`ve killed hundreds with air rifles putting out no more that 10 or so.

 

Fieldcraft will work better that squeezing a half a ft/lb here and there out of the gun.

what pressure is in your gun .if you tested your power at 190 bar and then again at 140 bar you will see a different power out put . also looking at what some one put on the air arms site some time back this will become more pronounced on an older gun having a slightly more steep power curve because the sealing part of the valve being plastic gets a bit of a ridge . different pellets give different power levels . if your gun is not an anti tamper model to increase the power a little is easy but you will have to make sure the gun is still below 12 ft lbs at about 140 bar .

^{thanks for all the comments. its about 7 or 8 years old. not sure if its anti tamper or not to be honest.}

Leave it as is mate.

 

PCP's are a bit different to be low'ish powered... When theres no issues with the firing cycle so to speak.

 

My PS is only doing 9.7ftlbs and have no issues on either feather or fur. None.
