The new Air Arms S510 TR Tactical ar stock long term review and modifications 

It took me a while to come round to the concept, but for working guns I'm converted. 😀

Yep at last. Dan and I are working on some parts to make it more target comp focused too. Should open up a whole new breed of target shooting options going forward. And an even broader audience. I've had an hft500 action in this one for a bit and it has some serious potential 😀

@@tillysgunstocks Nice! Would like to see an FT focus chassis in the future. As @Graeme Davison says - A nice alternate to the Aeron..

I've got a S400 MPR FT at the moment, and looking to get another HFT500, both will benefit me being in this stock because 'Allegedly' I'm tall 😂 Looking forward to your upgrade's 👍

I've tried a few different slugs through it, it's not great in all honesty mag loaded,but acceptable with a SS loader. The 10gn zans where not too bad 😉

Hi mate. The rear end was originally sourced as a paintball stock. I chopped it all about and modified the cheek riser mech. It's very solid and turned into something quite decent with a bit of work. It should allow the shorter lop you need.

@@tillysgunstocks Thanks for the fast reply. If I get a S500 XS Xtra mounted in their tactical platform, would you be able to fabricate an adjustable stock like this one? Rough cost?

Currently that's like choosing between my dogs as favourite.. they are very different in layout and neither is the perfect hft rig. Both make awesome pest control tools and I'd say the AA just edges the katran for all out accuracy off the bench. But I love the size and the way the katran handles and the extra magazine capacity option although I mostly single shot load. Flip a coin I'm sure you would be equally happy with either 😉

@@tillysgunstocks much appreciated. My thoughts too. Good work with the channel, only just found it and glad I did !

@@garywilson6146 the channel is still very much a work in progress but will be exactly the same as I run my business. No bs,no pandering to manufacturers and honest opinions wether they will be popular or not 😉 Cheers for watching

@@tillysgunstocks absolutely refreshing mate 👍

Yeah I guess so, it's the right sort of size for a carabiner type clip.

@@tillysgunstocks I paid for my CNC bits yesterday. Got a 4-5 week lead time on those so I'm going to start looking at this chassis now

@@gordontargetsports292 I can send the parts up today if you want

@@tillysgunstocks I'll message you later 👍

Probably the best option would be having the parts caracoated, it's a much tougher finish than paint. As I mentioned in the video, this one wasn't anodized it was just bare ali. I've got a nice textured feel with truck bed liner (halfords finest) and some flat green over the top.But it's not a particularly robust finish and scuffs quite easily. Ceracoat is super tough 😉

​@@tillysgunstocksdo you have any recomendations of where to get parts ceracoated in the uk? Will be ordering one these in the next week or so and living in wet and windy south wales, its hard to keep the rust off blued steel lol, is it just the main tube that would need coating or anything else while im at it?

I'm friends with AA so I get to play with a lot of cool prototypes and stuff 😉

Yep 2 small bolts for the hand guard section first. Then a standard stock bolt to remove the mid and rear section as 1piece 😉

@@tillysgunstocks Thanks. Not sure what you mean about hand guard though?

It's pretty straight forward if you wanted to make a palm rest. I prefer to use m5 rail nuts on the inside the stocks fore end ,rather than use the mlok. Just have to make access to the bolt holes that affix the hand guard section,to the mid section of the chassis. So you affix the hamster with the handguard off the rifle. Then refit the handguard once hamsters on 😉

@@tillysgunstocks perfect. Thanks for the info !
