Thank you, Air Arms, for making a great product. I own an EV2, HFT500, S510, and TX200, and they are all amazing. I would also like to give a special thank you to Louis for all the help and support he has given us a Alders gun range.
Steve Herring
Have a few Air Arm rifles and bits and they are all brilliant. Have also had contact with a few people there (Louis and others) and they have always been helpful and knowledgeable. Brilliant company.
Daniel Metclife
I’ve both owned and sold hundreds of Air Arms products as an RFD, and their reliability and practical performance are second to none on the market, and followed by a five-star warranty; it’s really hard not to be impressed by them as a company.

Discover the S510
Built to Evolve With You
From your first paper target to your hundredth field session, the S510 is built to support your progression. With many options to choose from, ranging from sub-12 ft/lb to high-power FAC models, unregulated simplicity to regulated consistency, and a full suite of calibres and stock finishes, it’s a platform that adapts to your journey.
Start with the setup that suits you now, and as your confidence and skills grow, explore the variants that take you further. Whether it’s dialled-in accuracy, extra power, or refined ergonomics, the S510 gives you the freedom to adapt, refine, and progress – without ever outgrowing your rifle.
Engineered for Real-World Reliability
Built in Britain using premium materials, the S510 is precision-machined for long-term dependability and built to last. From the smooth side-lever action to the match-grade Lothar Walther barrel, it’s designed to deliver consistency when it counts.
The balanced firing valve and durable internals thrive in all conditions: on the range, in the field, or through rough terrain. When the weather turns, the light fades, or conditions get tough, you can count on the S510 to keep performing, shot after shot. The S510 won’t just survive the day, it’ll help you master it.
Confidence You Can Feel, Performance You Can Trust
The S510’s precision feels instant the moment you pull the trigger. Regulated models provide consistent velocity and flatter trajectories, helping you group tighter and stay locked in. The two-stage trigger breaks clean, the firing is whisper-quiet, and the stock options are sculpted for comfort and control.
Everything works together to keep you steady, focused, and in control, even when the pressure’s on. It’s the kind of confidence that turns good sessions into great ones, because when your rifle does its job perfectly, you can focus on yours: hitting the target, every single time.
Action
Smooth, Side-Lever Operation
Every S510 features Air Arms’ signature side-lever action – smooth, fast, and whisper-quiet. It offers clean, reliable cycling that keeps you focused and in control.
High Capacity 10-Shot Rotary Magazine (x2)
Each S510 includes two 10-shot rotary magazines, giving you rapid follow-up shots and less time spent reloading – ideal for both target practice and field use.
Calibre
177 – Precision & Flat Trajectory
Perfect for target shooting and pest control where fine accuracy and flatter flight paths matter.
.22 – Balanced Accuracy & Impact
A versatile calibre offering solid stopping power and excellent accuracy – a reliable all-rounder for mixed use.
.25 (FAC Only) – Maximum Impact
Designed for high-impact, close-range hunting and pest control, the .25 calibre provides maximum stopping power, available only in FAC-rated models.
Shot Consistency and Power Options
Regulated – Optimised Shot Consistency
Regulated S510 models include an internal air regulator that ensures consistent pressure for every shot. This means improved accuracy, tighter groupings, and a higher total shot count per fill.
Unregulated – Simpler, Maintenance-Free
Unregulated models use fewer internal components for a more straightforward build. They’re easier to maintain and ideal for shooters who prefer a classic, no-fuss shooting experience.
Power fit for Purpose
Sub-12 ft/lb (No FAC Required)
Our Sub-12 ft/lb models can be owned in the UK without a firearms certificate, making them perfect for target shooting and effective pest control across all sporting environments.
High Power (FAC Required in the UK)
For shooters who need extra range and impact, the high-power Ultimate Sporter models are built to deliver. Offering increased muzzle energy for tackling larger quarry and challenging shooting conditions, they’re available in .177, .22, and .25 calibres. Always ensure you comply with local licensing regulations.

Rifle and Carbine Options
Carbine – Compact and Efficient
Shorter barrel length makes the Carbine S510 easy to handle in confined spaces or mobile shooting situations. It still delivers excellent power and efficiency with a higher shot count per fill thanks to smart internal design.
Full-Length Rifle – Maximum Stability
For shooters who want enhanced balance and precision at range, the full-length version offers improved weight distribution and a traditional shooting feel.
Not all air rifles are constructed like an Air Arms S510
Here’s what you risk when you settle for less
❌ Inconsistent Out-of-the-Box Performance: Many rifles require costly aftermarket tuning or parts to achieve decent accuracy, wasting your time and money.
❌ Mismatched Setup: Fixed power levels or limited configurations force you to adapt to the rifle, compromising precision and consistency.
❌ Poor Stock Fit: Non-ergonomic or fixed stocks lead to discomfort, reduced control, and fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
❌ Unreliable Shot Count: Inefficient pressure management results in fewer shots per fill, disrupting your flow and limiting range time.
❌ Erratic Accuracy: Without a precision barrel and balanced firing system, shots go astray, undermining your confidence and progress.
❌ Ongoing Maintenance Costs: Low-quality builds demand frequent repairs or upgrades, turning a budget rifle into an expensive burden.
❌ Stifled Versatility: Lack of customisable options leaves you stuck with a rifle that doesn’t suit your shooting style or discipline.

FAQ's
The Air Arms S510 is available in .177, .22, and .25 calibres, allowing you to choose based on your preferred shooting style — whether you’re aiming for high-precision target shooting or hunting at greater impact levels.
Regulated models feature a built-in regulator that controls air pressure more consistently throughout the shot cycle, giving you more uniform power output and tighter shot groupings. Unregulated models are still highly consistent but may show more variation in shot velocity as the air reservoir depletes.
The carbine version has a shorter barrel and air cylinder, making it more compact and easier to manoeuvre, ideal for tighter environments or shooters who value lighter handling. The standard version offers a longer barrel and increased shot count, which is ideal for extended sessions or those wanting every bit of range and control.
Yes, the S510 is designed for versatility. Its high-level accuracy, power options, and ergonomic build make it equally at home on the range and in the field.
That depends on your S510 model, calibre, and whether it’s regulated or not.
Standard unregulated models (sub-12 ft/lb)
• .177 calibre: around 70–90 shots per fill
• .22 calibre: around 60–80 shots per fill
Regulated models (XS or XS Extra)
• .177 calibre: up to 100 shots per fill
• .22 calibre: up to 90 shots per fill
FAC-rated high-power models
• .177 calibre: around 40–60 shots per fill
• .22 calibre: around 35–50 shots per fill
• .25 calibre: around 30–40 shots per fill
These figures can vary slightly depending on pellet type, temperature, and how you shoot, but they give you a solid idea of what to expect.
Absolutely. The S510 includes a dovetail rail for scope mounting, and several models come with threaded moderators or shrouds. While it’s not as modular as tactical rifles, many aftermarket accessories are available to enhance your setup.
The S510 features an integrated moderator in most models, helping to suppress sound significantly. It's one of the quieter rifles in its class, making it suitable for discreet shooting and pest control.
Regular care is simple: wipe down external surfaces after use, keep the barrel clean with appropriate cleaning kits, and check seals and O-rings periodically. We recommend having it professionally serviced every 12–18 months for peak performance.
The S510 comes in a variety of finishes, including classic walnut, beech, and the lightweight superlite stock in black or green. Each is designed for balance, durability, and a premium feel.
