They're shouldn't be to hard to get. It really depends on what you want to use it for, and in which caliber it is. If it's a .22, I'd go for 14-16 Fpe. That means it's affordable and still good up to 50 yards. It's a rifle that's ment for things like rat hunting and such. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2009 8:54 am dummyracer36 Senior Member Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 723 Location: St. Louis, Missouri broom... what spring are you referring to? the hammer spring? _________________ "not tonight dear, i have a race in the morning"   Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2009 10:01 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Yup! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2009 1:04 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND The older AA guns were adjustable on the regulator but for the last year or so they are tamperproof, which doesn’t mean they they cannot be adjusted, it's just difficult from what I gather.

And are those the models that could be tampered with, in opposition to the newer models that use a bolt-sidelever configuration? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2009 5:49 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Both the 400/410 are all still made and are tamper proof unless they are FAC rated, also I think the same applies to the 510.

I should've looked there in the first place. I hear the sidelever is quite smooth. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2009 2:53 am kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand Alstone wrote: Both the 400/410 are all still made and are tamper proof unless they are FAC rated, also I think the same applies to the 510.
