Bought mine in July 2000 at the CLA Gamefair. £600 for the carbine (no safety) and silencer with a Whitetail Classic scope and a Hills hand pump. Still as powerful and accurate as my latest FX.
Only had to change an O ring about 10 years ago and that's it.
Love my .22 AA 410, Its 20+ years old now and the original A model ( no safety) Coupled with my small Simmons Whitetail scope 1,5 - 5 x 20 (Philippean not later China copy) It just goes on and on. No issues
Perfect gauge placement in a gun from 20 odd years ago ,always liked air arms ,especially my tx 200 hc in .177 such a quiet rifle .
just bought one of these and waiting for it to arrive, your vid has made me more excited and covered all my questions on function and how to's :) cheers
Happy to help and we're glad you found the video useful - exactly why we produce them 😊. Thanks for watching and enjoy your new rifle.
Excellent review.
Thanks very much.
Had mine over 20 years old style fill.. Still going great.... Touch wood...
I second this comment
Cause min is the same so am touching wood to lol
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🙂🤞✌
Great review again. Very informative Richard👌👍
Thanks very much 👍.
Lovely rifle Richard and a great review.
A A really do make cracking rifles.
Thanks again and Atb.👍🏻
Thanks Justin 👍.
Dear Sir, this is awesome. It's fantastic to know that these 'old school' guns absolutely keep up with the new stuff. This is clearly an example of this. Excellent stuff - and your channel is superb.
Thanks very much. We genuinely appreciate the kind feedback...
Brilliant review on the most beautiful air rifle I've seen. Classic performance.
Thanks very much Ed. No argument there...on both counts 🤣
Just what I was looking for thank you. Next gun on my list very very soon. 👍
Glad we could help Lewis. Thanks for watching.
Superb review. Many thanks.
Thanks Philip.
@@alphamilitaria2756 You are very welcome. Have a great weekend.
Great review as ever Richard. Ordered an S510 only today so hoping it’s as accurate as that.
Thanks very much Chris. I'm sure it will be!
I was recommended your review out if the blue! I own the s310, bought it new back in 1996, and still own it. I can't believe it's over 25 years old! Still looks in great condition and never had an issue, apart from one scratch on the stock made by someone's wedding ring after I let him use it at the gun club.
A real classic rifle. I'm not surprised its still going strong. Thanks for watching.
I like the beginning music... 😍
I’ve had the AAS410 classic over 15 years!a great accurate reliable working tool!it’s accounted for hundreds of grey squirrels,the calibre is .177 and loves aa field diablo and jsb exact 8.4 grain both 4.52 diameter.
I've had the S400 carbine .22 walnut sporter ~15years, very reliable and accurate with AA field pellets. Fantastic uncomplicated rifles.
Great review as ever Mate👍. Gonna need a bigger cabinet the way your reviews are going😉
Thanks mate...
And still one of the most reliable and accurate pcps out there
I have A A s510 in hunter Green and it never misses a beat, great review as always 👍
Thanks very much Andy.
If I had your model, I know i would still have it
Beautiful rifle, great video. Just subscribed.
Thanks very much Philip.
@@alphamilitaria2756 You're very welcome. Kindest regards.
Had mine for years still as good as when new .mine is the carbine version nothing on market can compete lol
Pellet on pellet lol
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🙂🤞✌
Nice! I still regret selling my S400, I even had a second (walnut TH) stock for it... We live and learn.
Nice gun. Sold mine 410. Still have my 400 GML.
I have one that dates back to 2006. Currently not in use as it leaks air but at some point I might get it sorted out. It is a highly accurate gun, I currently favour my TX200 as a reliable hassle free gun
U can get a seal kit on ebay for next to nothing 😉 u will fall in love again with your AAs410 lol
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🙂🤞✌
hi, i have the s410 22 and i love it, pellet on pellet every time, the only fault i have with it is the magazene when you load the pellets into it
they tend to drop out unless you keep it level.
I had this model in the light hunter version, great on many levels, but I didnt like that rear bolt pellet cycling action, the proud magazine profile, the grub scew muzzle break and the filler cap/ and adapter filling method.
Maybe if the 510s had been available, I could have accepted that plastic high profile magazine and other issues
I swapped out for the HW100KT, which I still have.
Another fantastic review.. Like always really enjoyed 👍🏼.
Quick question, would you consider reviewing some of the less common air rifles? If you do, then I would love to see a review for Kalibrgun Cricket 2, EDgun Leshiy or Zbroia Kozak.
Thanks
So many guns and too little time! We're hoping to look at a couple of Zbroias soon as it happens.
I've been looking for a bolt-action rifle for a while but couldn't decide between the Daystate Huntsman Regal HR, the BSA R10 and the Air Arms S410. This video persuaded me to visit my local dealer today, just to have a look you understand, but then I came home with an S410 Superlite Carbine in .22. I haven't shot it yet but I have to say it is an absolutely beautiful little gun, it oozes quality, if it shoots half as good as it looks I'll be well happy. Thanks for the review Richard.
Great choice. I'm sure you'll love it!
beautiful rifle
Certainly is...
Perfect gauge placement.
Another cracking review Richard. I know you're not a fan of the safety catch in the trigger unit, but back in 2003 when I bought my S410 carbine from Sandwell Field Sports, it had NO safety catch whatsoever. About a week or so after purchasing the rifle, Air Arms contacted me to see if I was willing to have my rifle upgraded with a new safety catch they were developing . I agreed and my rifle was collected, modified, and returned all within a week or so and all at Air Arms expense. The safety catch on my rifle looks almost exactly like the production button version apart from the stamping on the trigger to show if the gun is safe or live, which was obviously done with metal lettering stamps and looks a little unrefined. I even still have the job ticket from Air Arms. I wonder if they keep records of these mods at the factory?
I guess that's better than no safety at all! Air Arms has always has great customer service. Thanks for watching.
My next gun… Ive got the .177 S400 which is like a laser, but want the s410 .22 for slightly larger game 👍
Richard what do you use in sub 12 for hunting, 177 or 22?
Like your no nosense approach!
Thanks very much Nick. And thanks for watching.
hello, what do you recommend in terms of accuracy and strength between .. air arms s410 carbine or condor 24 both 5.5 thank you anyicipat
This, Sir, is the best review of this rifle that I’ve watched. Thank you 🙏
I’m researching whether to buy an S410 or the S400.
Decisions, decisions. 😃
👍👍
Thanks very much. They are both great rifles. I think much will depend on what you want the rifle for. If you plan on doing any hunting I'd say the S410 would be better simply because of the magazine for quick follow up shots and not having to fiddle around in the field to single load. The S410 is fine, of course to use on the range or for targets shooting, but some people prefer the fact that the single shot S400 slows them down a little and helps makes them more deliberate about each shot. You could always get a single shot loader for an S410 of course, then you have the best of both worlds. Rowan Engineering do a great one ww.pullthetrigger.co.uk/Rowan-Engineering-Single-Shot-Loader-for-Air-Arms-S410-S510
I've got the S400. With hindsight, given the choice I would go for the S410, but having said that I haven't had the need for quick second shots and the single loading is quite methodical. I can see how the magazine is an advantage for shooting rats at night.
I have s400 extra fac cal 5.5.I shot still 100 meters, and she s very precise rifle and potent with 47 joules
brilliant review thanks Richard.... btw whos the artist in the music?
Thanks Steve. To be honest, I'm not sure. I'll ask the production team and let you know...Thanks for watching.
Nice rifle. Glad you highlighted an older one that still works like new. Have you ever resealed that one, or is it still original? I have a first run Matador(#376) that EdgunWest resealed about a year ago, and it is just plain deadly. If used regularly, do you suppose some of these seals can last 20 years?
Hi David. Sorry if I wasn't clear on the video. The S410 rifle design is 21 years old but the actual rifle in the video is a new one. Thanks for watching.
Good video, l can see there a great gun, my mate has always had AA PCPs ive shot them l do like them but my thing is springers namely a TX200 and in 22, l get just as good grouping as he does, l think its probably what you grow up with, ive had spring guns since the early 80s.
Thanks very much. Did you see our reviews of the TX200 and ProSport?
@@alphamilitaria2756 l did yes thanks,
I had one of these as a first pcp, lovely and accurate and handles beautifully. I'm pretty sure that model you reviewed is the classic not the carbine as you state in the video though. As usual great video
Thanks, but I did say several times I was reviewing the carbine...
@@alphamilitaria2756 I wrote it wrong sorry! I meant to say you were reviewing the classic NOT the carbine as you state. The carbine has a shorter cylinder than that only just longer than the stock.
@@plummz you are right cause I have the carbine I have the classic to so had to look and u are right
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🙂🤞✌
@@plummz correct
Carbine is shorter
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🙂🤞✌
Could I mention the TDR version , same action I believe , and mirrors your accuracy test , bought mine off my sister in law ( mint ) for £350 c/w scope ( though I changed the scope she sold it me with ) great rifle and packs nicely away in it's carry case .. couldn't refuse it at that price .. oh , came with a slip on silencer ( thumb screw to tighten on ) very quiet indeed .. and light , which helps if your hunting / cartng about .. ( oh btw , it was her son's , he left a year ago to move in with his bird , after having a monkey up his ass on him .. ain't spoke for over a year .. sod him ) great review , keep em coming ..
Yes, great rifle Mark. No longer in production though I believe 😥. Thanks for watching.
Hello . what is the speed of the pellet when it exits the pipe. in ms. thank you in advance
Magnífica!!!
Salut . ce viteza are peletu la iesire din teava . in m\s. va multumesc anticipat
Iv just joined ur channel great reviews can u do a review on a webley classic in clueding accuracy test please
Hi John - thanks for subscribing. We don't usually go in for reviews of older rifles, especially those no longer in production. But I do have a lovely old Webley Vulcan that I don't shoot as often as I should, so this could be the excuse I need! Thanks for watching.
Great gun.mines a carbine. You can’t go wrong.
For you, my friend, can this gun be fitted with a regulator? And how many foot pounds can it reach? thanks
Hi. I'm sure it is possible to fit a regulator, but the rifle is only really rated at 12 ft/lbs. If you want a regulated high power Air Arms you might be better off looking at the S510 XS and S510 Xtra. Thanks for watching.
I have one of these for sale with a silencer.
Great review Richard, but that’s definitely not the carbine. That’s the classic full length.
Yes. I confused myself trying to remember all the statistics, specifications and model variances and missed the obvious stuff. I hope it didn't spoil the review for you and you knew what I meant. Thanks for watching...
My s210 used to have a sharp bark when the silencer was off should Imagine the s410 would have the same crack
Thanks for watching Les. To be honest, the crack isn't too bad, though a silencer makes it much quieter of course.
If that's a carbine how big is the standard 🤔..😉..had mine since 2011...a fantastic rifle..
01:44 and all is revealed. The rifle is 1020mm long, with a 493.5mm barrel and weighs 2.9-3.3kgs un-scoped depending on the stock.
@@alphamilitaria2756
I was only pulling Richard's leg😊 he stated at the beginning of the review that he had the carbine 😉😊
Being unregulated do you have to worry about a sweet spot on the S410 particularly for hunting and getting the best power output. I noticed you filled it to 190 Bar (the max) but I also read that with unregulated rifles fill pressure there is a X and Y as regards max and min to get the best consistency and power output. I am considering purchasing one of these but never had an unregulated PCP before. Many Thanks.
Hi - yes there will be a power curve at the beginning and end of the fill range. Working out the fill pressure 'sweet spot' where shots are most consistent involves a bit of trial and error on the range. A chronograph would help too to help you spot when the velocity starts to drop off. Great rifle though, even without a regulator.
@@alphamilitaria2756 Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I have bought you a cup of coffee in thanks. Under a different channel name I ran a YT channel for nine years that got to over 10mil views and over 37k subs (still rising) making sea fishing videos in Cornwall and latterly air rifle shooting videos having taken air rifle shooting up 18 months ago to go with my fishing. I have now at 65 "retired" from YT and social media to just go and enjoy my fishing and shooting without cameras but still lots to learn about air rifles. I know the huge effort it takes to make videos and answer the comments not to mention the hassle you get from some. Your channel has been a great help and your presentation style is very good. Thank you.
@@Shorts-qy5no Thanks very much. And thanks for the coffee too. That's some channel. Is it still live? I'd love to take a look. And yes, lots of hard work, but rewarding when you get to make connections to lovely people who share the same interests. Makes up for 'the others'!
@@alphamilitaria2756 The channel is still live with the archive of videos made but as said I no longer make new videos (as from 2023). I still run a small business, which is my priority and disabled the comments on all of the videos to be able to focus on other things. However, over the years I helped literally thousands of people with their comment questions and as you say made a lot of contacts and friends. However, at 65 I decided I no longer want to make videos but run my business and just go and enjoy my fishing and now shooting (hunting) which I really enjoy. I find the air rifle hunting very similar to the fishing plus there is the bonus of a meal of tasty Rabbit or Wood Pigeon. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/@CornishFishingandShooting/videos
@@Shorts-qy5no Great channel. I enjoyed the wood pigeon and rabbit videos and plan to go through the rest before too long. Thanks for sharing.
Hi richard I own a s410 fac in .177. Wil it shoot slugs? Let's say 16-18gr? What wil fpe be?
Hi Lukas. It's generally accepted that you need a minimum of 30 ft/lbs to get the benefit from slugs, so there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to shoot them in your S410. Accuracy will depend on the rifling in the barrel and also the weight / type of slug. Personally, I've never really found they offer much of an advantage over pellets, and I've shot plenty of rabbits with pellets at 50-70 metres with FAC air rifles. Range is determined as the distance you can put 10 pellets through an inch in my book.
@@alphamilitaria2756 THank you for that so it means I have a powerfull gun!
I have the single shot,is there a conversion to take a magazine?
Hi Stan. I'm guessing you have the S400? If so, Rowan Engineering produced a magazine conversion kit, though I couldn't say if they still do now. You can reach them on 01295 251188 or rowanengineering.com. Good luck!
Sir any giveaway program for viewers and subscribers if there is any please remember me 😭🙏
Nice rifles I have one but poor shot count
Yes, not great huge count, but great for hunting if not the range. Thanks for watching.
You sure you have the carbine model there fella? I have the carbine and your air cylinder looks a lot longer than mine.
have a read through the comments bud...
Lol, you definitely refer to the rifle you have in front of you as the carbine.
Nice review but it looks like the rifle to me not the carbine.
Yes Jon. Not sure why I kept calling it the carbine. Tried to remember all the small details and got the big one wrong. I hope it didn't spoil the video for you. 🤪
Not at all and I enjoy your videos a lot. Keep up the good work.👍
Nice rifle shame about the plastic magazine
It is a good one though Harold. Thanks for watching...
Nice rifle but not for me. I think it is unforgivable for a rifle that expensive not to include a moderator or even any provision to fit one. It is not back garden friendly and I dont like the look of the barrel band. It is accurate and would make a great field rifle.
Plenty more expensive rifles than the S410 don't have a silencer Roy. But I get your point.
