Altaros filler/gauge on S410
Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2016 6:28 pm
Hi,
I have recently fitted regulators to my .177 S410 rifles and the air gauges now only read regulator set pressure (until it drops very low anyway). As I cannot be bothered to count the number of shots I have fired during a session and only have 10 fingers and thumbs to count on I decided to fit the Altaros filler/Manometer to each rifle. Parts were ordered and arrived about a week later. Was impressed that each kit has a spanner to remove the old filling fitting. On one rifle the old fitting unscrewed fairly easily but the other one required the application of a little heat (boiling water in this case) to soften the Loctite enough to unscrew it. Those spanners were a godsend. Altaros ones fitted easily and I think look pretty cool. Filling is now via probe which in all honesty is simpler than the Air Arms T-bar type one. The outer sleeve on the Altaros one rotates to cover the probe hole as well! So far very impressed.

Anyway here are the obligatory, but hasily done, photos:-
