Question for you Alex, I have an "Air Arms S510" rifle which is 3 yrs old now and the internal seal that holds the pressure is leaking. Should I get it fixed at $60 an hour labor plus parts and shipping or just go get a new rifle? I kinda like the FX impact 3 what do you think?

Dave, I don't know which seal or oring you're referring to, but I think you can order it online and replace it yourself. I'm also sure you'll be able to find a tutorial on the KZread on how to do that. Or perhaps some of the airgunning forums. That gun is the flagship of Air Arms, if I'm not mistaken, so there should be videos explaining how to do that.

Hi Alex, greetings from a cool overcast East Yorkshire. Yesterday, took out a skyrat that I've been after for a while. With avian flu still on the go around here, I am assured that the pigeons coming in the garden are feral, as all the racing pigeon lofts around, about four or five, are shut up tighter than a sharks arse, and that's watertight. We feed the wild song birds, and I don't mind the wild wood pigeons coming in, as they hoover up all the seed that comes off the table. So this bugger has been coming for a few days and chasing off the wild birds, but I was in my garden bar, with rifle in hand, only about 12 yards from the feeding station. Anyway, got it, neck through body. I've never had one bleed as much, all over the patio. The wife caught me washing down the blood, wasn't happy. Hasn't spoken to me since, but a few cocktails and nice Sunday roast has smoothed things over, until next time. Good video, all the best, from Big Steve.

That is a powerful sounding gun and you are using what looks like heavy pellets . What is the power rating of the gun ? I can see on your slow motion the pellets arcing into the target but you hit the folded wing in quite a few shots and this is a very strong part of the bird and can deflect pellets , better to hit them in softer parts such as neck or head . difficult to do at these distances in that very strong wind .
@AirRifleActivities
Жыл бұрын
Thank you, Dave, few people realise how challenging it may be to shoot an airgun long distance in wind, and the anatomy of the sky rats too. Usually I try to place a shot on a pigeon facing me - like this they expose their vitals. But sometimes they just won't give me such an opportunity and then I take the shot either way, hoping that if the projectile deflects by the bone, then I'll finish the bird with a follow up. That being said, most airgun projectiles deflect because the really good ones are made of soft allow which deforms easily upon impact. The gun is highly adjustable, you can tune it in a wide range of power levels, depending on the caliber too. You can check the link in the video description, it'll take you to the website of the seller where you can find further details. Thank you 🤝

Hey, Garry 🙂 A lot of guys tell me about the gun you mentioned. Never seen one myself, only on YT videos. I'm sure you had a lot of fun with it back in the day and I understand why. That's also why every now and then I drop all that fancy accessories and long range shooting stuff, I attach a camera to my gun and just start walking around my permissions. Sometimes I don't even record my outings, I do them just for the thrill. Thanks, mate 🤝

It is highly adjustable, David. Depends on the projectile weight too. In different videos I use different projectiles and different power levels. One of the many perks of that airgun.
great shots and vid alex well done, the cat must have a fridge somewhere to keep the meat fresh😄

This extended episode was so much fun to watch, especially with the unwanted miracle that got _cured_😂 Considering how productive the pesting was outdoors, I wonder if the flying turds are back inside the grain warehouse…

Thank you 🙂 And let me say I think they'll keep going in there, but I'll teach them a lesson, one or two birds at a time.
Nice shooting, please more of them 👍🏻

Maybe one of your best vids, dude ! Airguns used here are extremely lethal, it is impossible for skyrats to move as they get hit like they used to, with these powerful shots. They're wasted instantly ! You did a good job when you shot both parent and sick child. Please, the people demand more headshots ☠ Greetings from city of Oran (Algeria) ✌🇩🇿💖

Thank you for the nice words, mate 🙂 Glad you enjoy the video. I appreciate your attention and greetings to Algeria 👋
I was reading through the comment trying to see if anyone mentioned the high pitched ringing sound when the gun is fired but found nothing concrete. Is the sound from the reg or the hammer striking the valve bud? It is a unique sound for sure and one I hope to have soon. Great shooting and video/editing work also. Thank you. BTW My favorite way to cure sick pigeons 😂👍💯

@@DinnerForkTongue If I had to guess I would say the regulator is turned up a bit and the sound is a hardened steel hammer and valve. Regulators don’t make that sound from my limited experience. They make more of a hiss not a ping. I wonder if RTI has a de-pinger in the works. Lord knows their engineering dept never stops or sleeps thank goodness.

That's the best way to cure those pests, Heath 😉 I was expecting to get some comments about that noise myself. There are some actually, it's not just you. The sound comes from the reg and has become like the "signature sound" of the gun 😉 The reg was set to 135 bar so it was not turned up too much, mate - the new valve by RTI makes sure there's no need for that unless you're shooting very heavy projectiles. Thanks, brother.
Good shooting. I am a marksman for my job and I also hunted all my life. You are a good shooter.

@@christianescobar859 if you have the Prophet 1 or 2, there is an additional valve which makes that noise. You can remove it - RTI no longer put it on their newer models, like the P-3. You have to disassemble the gun. This additional valve that's making the noise is located in the tube right behind and above the pistol grip. Watch this video from minute 15.52 onwards: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6mk0tqjYrubgsY.htmlsi=LP9tuCuFTUHriPe4 You see an explanation where that one-way valve is.
