When I shot Steve Corcoran's S410 Classic last year I just knew I needed to have one. Well I got kinda close, I got the Carbine version which is better suited for my suburban backyard. Next "todo" was to put one of Steve's stocks on it, the rest is in the photos.

Stunning wood and nice gun. Sort of surprised there is a barrel band and not floating.
-
She's fantastic lookin Dano, wood is good.:) Ed
-
Lookin' good, pal, although I think it would look better with a longer barrel and air tube, you know, like on my S400E :-). So have you actually shot it with the new stock yet, and if so, how's it feel? Later.
Dave

Sorry to hijack your thread. Just wanted to tease Longislandhunter. heh heh
-
Then how bout this one? It was even for sale last week, but I had to change my mind, it just shoots too good :-). Later.
Dave

Oh man, you're all set....you've a tactical looking gun and a classic gun. Both in PCP's. I believe you can get a clip for the AA400 that holds 10 pellets....but you need to rotate it manually...after you cock it. It'll become almost a repeater....
-
So now we're in serious hijack mode :-). Actually, the Talon IS sold, that's what helped pay for the FX Cyclone that's on it's way. So I won't be needing a clip for the 400 :-)! And just to keep it at least a little bit related to Dan's original post, once he gets that pretty piece of wood all dialed in, I get the factory stock for my 400, part of our deal for the R7. That way I'll still have a nice, classic wood stocked rifle and a synthetic stocked repeater for whacking starlings with. Later.

What great friends we are eh? With friends like us, who needs money?
-
Jeff, you could have a very nice S410 .177 Carbine with lots of quality stuff included. Wanta talk about it. Gets one heck of allot of shots per fill..:) Plus my Walnut Stock looks just as nice a Dano's... hehe
Gene
-
Wish I had the money for it Gene,,, I'd snap it up,,,, but I'm plum broke at the moment and don't see no coin on the horizon :(
Oh well,,,, I'll get me one of dem shooters one of these days..... :)
Jeff
-
Very nice Dano!! The stock looks great. Steve does outstanding work!! I am definitely drooling :)
-
In my haste to "start" the "Tease LongIslandHunter" sub-thread.....I forgot to mention that's an incredible very nice unique stock........I LIKE!!!!!
-
I hope you guys are happy,,,,,,, all I've been doing for the past few days is endlessly search out Air Arms rifles on the internet comparing prices, shipping, reviews, etc....
My wife said I could buy myself a really nice retirement present when my retirement is finalized, which hopefully should be within the next 6 weeks,,,, and I'm convinced that present is gonna be of dem rifles :)
Jeff
-
What a fitting present that would be Jeff.......Indulge...LOL!!
-
Hi Jeff,
Hang in there. Glad to see your wife is so reasonable. My S410 is on order and I can barely wait to get my hands on it. Sure seems like there's more than 24 hours in a day when it comes to waiting, but we've all waited this long....
BTW, enjoy your hunting stories a bunch.
Eric
-
Thanks Eric,,, I'm lookin forward to the pics of your fine new shooter when ya get it :)
Stephanie,,,, that's my plan exactly,,,, gonna treat myself to something really really really special,,,,, provided the wife says ok :)
Jeff
-
LongIslandHunter if I remember correctly....I think youfill up that Talon of yours with a scuba tank....if so, you're ahead of a few of us AA400/410 owners and/or potential owners. Very happy that you'll be retiring and planning on getting a AA 400 or 410....you'll really like it. Just think...retired....meaning you can shoot more EVERYDAY.(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif)

Beautiful piece, Dan. Steve does great stocks. My shooting buddy just got one done FT style for his TX-200. How quiet is it?
Ric G

Hey Stanley,,,,
Yup, use the scuba tank, it's great, although I also use the pump to top off after a short hunting excursion.
As for retirement,,,,,,, been waitin for this for a long time,,, when it finally happens I plan on doing ALOT of shooting !!!!! :)

in front of the butt pad? Sort of a white line spacer to match the front ?
Nice rig.

I think it's maple, didn't bother to ask Steve. Same as the line at the grip cap and fore end cap. I'm pretty happy with it, one of these afternoons I'll get a free 15 minutes to actually shoot it a little:)
-
Havent fired it yet? Darn man that would drive me crazy! You know there are all sorts of professionals that say you NEED to take a few minutes for yourself sometimes. After shooting these modern airguns for 10+ years we (both of us) got our first custom stocks just this year and there is no going back. I am currently trying to decided the next air rifle I "need" and "can I get a GOOD stock for it" is the deciding factor.
Thanks for posting the pictures.

Get off work at 5p.m., but am a salary employee which means "go home when it's all done". Once I get home I do my introductions with my family, help with dinner and look at kids schoolwork and such. Sometimes I am able to squeeze in 20-30 shots with one of my guns, but that only happens 1-2 times a week and it's usually on the weekends. I've shot the S400 quite a bit, just not with the new stock. Actually think the last thing I shot was my R7 and that was over a week ago,......1 five shot group:) Kids just went back to school last week and it has been crazy, "Meet the teacher night", "Go buy band supplies night", "Sell my soul for kids clothes night", the list goes on....oh yea, my two oldest boys have birthdays within a month of each other so we cram two parties in on one long weekend....any guess which weekend that was....yup, last weekend. Kids are fun, but I am missing my trigger time.
I'll find time:)
