air arms S400 low power

[matt101 115]

Hello everyone,

i recently bought a chronograph and tested my .177 Air Arms S400, i was quite shocked to see that it is running at just under 10 ft.lb. I have had this gun for about 4-5 years now and it has been brilliant, i have taken shed loads of quarry with it, the vast majority of which have been outright, humane kills. what do you suggest i do to get it back up to 11- 11.5 ft.lbs. Are there any basic things that need replacing or cleaning after this amount of time without a service, preferably ones that i can do myself. would it be wise to take it into a gun shop and have a service and if so how much is the normal rate?

 

thanks, matt
