I have a Slavia 618 for my grand daughter that seems anemic to me. What can I do to increase the power? It's probably within specs but I like power ful airguns, she has a Daisy BB gun that has about the same power as the Slavia. I just think a pellet rifle should have more whallop to it.
When I was a kid I shot many birds with a daisy pump just like hers, nothing wrong with that BB gun, I just would like to soup up the Slavia a little. Any ideas?..Thanks ..Bob

I googled a bit:

http://www.airgunforum.co.uk/forums/anything-airgun-related/64183-cheap-cheerful-slavia-618-a.html

A stronger spring could increase power, but it probably won't make it better to shoot. Neutral 400 Fps isn't a lot.

Skyhawk,

Don't try to "pump" the 618's power. That is the sweet thing about them, the low-powered accuracy game. The 631's [funky target-stocked] are that way. Lots more accurate than I deserve, and 20x more accurate than I am. Remember, 10M target guns are only doing the 500fps shuffle, so you've got a sweetheart as is.

Honestly, if you want more power, look into the Mendoza RM-200, Gamo, or a better grade of air rifle in that 1,000fps (800fps real world result) range, like the RWS 34.

For a young girl, look into the youth-oriented models.

If you don't mind pumping it up for her, they now sell pink 760 pumpmasters at wal mart. They are hard to pump for a little kid though.
