Visiting the Air Arms Factory!
Вставка

- It's been a dream of mine for a long time to visit the Air Arms factory and watch how each rifle is made. The opportunity arose, and I dragged my camera with me! I asked Claire West and Alan Dennis of Air Arms a few questions that I thought you (the viewers) might like to hear answers to.

I've have a S410 carbine bought new 9 years ago it still looks like new, I think this is a testament to how they are beautifully crafted instead of mass produced, it still functions flawlessly as it always has, great to see where it was made.
One of the most subliminal, best produced infomercials I've ever seen.
I have 2 S410's, 1 TX200 and a Prosport - You could say I'm a bit of a fan. Brilliant products !
What a fantastic ethic this company has!
No wonder they produce some of the best stuff on the market today, it was touching to hear about the loss of Claire's father, but what a true professional she is. I'm sure that her father would b so proud, as I know I would be! As a young air gun enthusiast, I've always loved they air arms brand, and this video just showed my why I love them so much! Keep it up Claire and the team! You have my backing 100%
Great insight into the inner workings of this legendary company. Now I know why my TX200HC is such an amazing piece of kit. :)
Just bought a Weihrauch Springer, I think my first PCP will be AA. Hope you're enjoying Britain buddy, we're glad to have you.
Fantastic great video makes me proud to be English knowing that there is a nice story behind the Air Arms dynasty and great that they are thriving and still producing quality airguns nice to know we still have companies like this.
British produced high quality export that is still British, let’s keep it that way!
I hope they still producing in UK, if they move to China, probably they will loose their quality. Regards from Ecuador. I love Air Arms TX200 MKiii
M LU they wouldn’t move to China as lowering the price isn’t part of their thing! They expect you to pay more as you get the best quality
I don't know if it's true but I heard that some of the models are already done in China.
Doubt they'll move to China,
@@suco.man34 if they move production to china definitely they will lose quality and definitely they will lose customers. I would never buy an Air Arms made in china, there are still other excellent options made in the the UK and Germany, you know them
Really impressed with the factory tour and passion behind the product. The quality of guns produced are some of the best I've ever seen. 👍
You do a great job of storytelling. I've watched tonnes of factory visit videos that are made like a crappy versions of How it's Made, but this one really stands out.
Nicely produced video. Interesting history and nice to see the old photos of the founders..etc. As an Airarms S400 classic owner it's heartening to see my money was well spent. .Nice to also see classic British engineering punching well above its fighting weight as the British are famous for.
I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the R&D stuff and sneak peek at the new products due to launch next year..etc. But well done on a very slick video none the less, Matt.
+allan wilson You will see the new stuff at the shot show, not on here.
I've got an AA S400 and I absolutely LOVE IT!!
Love these guys!!
I knew nothing about air rifles until a few weeks ago but I do know about procurement and one name stood out for me....Air Arms....I decided a high quality springer met my specification and so chose the TX200HC. I haven’t been disappointed. Quality is superb and it is consistently accurate......the rest is down to me. It’s great to find a business concentrating on quality and in the UK.....
Engineering quality , respect 🙂
Good on you girl that's the British tradition I have a Tx and they are good and British made well done Air arms
Hi Matt,
From one local to another, I would like to call this "HUGE" !
Isn't this a first in the You Tube fraternity - a chat with the Boss of a manufacturing concern for air rifles?! It was very informative yet concise as well as very interesting too! Yes, I agree on your earlier response wrt the machining process having been covered previously, yet to listen to a lady speak about her business with such passion, was for me most impressive!
Well done, you're on a roll now, just keep it up! Kamma Ridge, PE.
Thanks Kevin!
I own an Air Arms TX200.. I belong to a club and this is an excellent piece of kit. It will hold its own against any other springer. It is a shame that it does not have iron sights. It has quite a recoil, whereas gas rifles have none. But it is beautifully made, much precision and thought has gone into its development
A hint of how they are made - its more than Weihrauch are willing to do. I think a regulated, bigger cylinder version of the 410/510 would be fantastic.
I remember in the 80s trying a high power, the one that resembled an SLR, didn't like, but the TX and Pro sport really are top guns, the best. I've had a good few Weihrauch's and TX200s now my keeper is the Pro Sport as I've never liked PCPs.
Wonderful video. Nice to see the people behind quality workmanship. Thank you for creating and sharing.
Absolute quality rifles 20 years ago i got a minstral it blew my metor away now own 410 and 510 keep up the good work oh still shooting the minstral too!
Really excellent video. I am so pleased to hear that Air arms have a good quality ethic. I am also saddened to hear that they lost two key members back in 2011. When I purchase another air rifle in the future I will certainly be looking to Air arms.
Many thanks
Sandy
Show muito interessante essa fábrica da Air Arms mostrando como são fabricada é uma mais linda que a outra. Parabéns
that's why I love air rifles great community full of friendly people backed up by awesome manufacturers like air arms
what a successful story keep doing it..congratulations!! AirArms..
that looks amazing. it was nice to know air arms history and to see a little bit of how they are made. thanks for doing this mate!!!!!
Loved this! Thanks so much, and great job putting the whole thing together.
nice one Matt I can see you enjoyed it a lot
Outstanding video! So many interviewers don't let the people talk!! Outstanding
Great video.
I'm with Giles, got to be a Bullpup with the current trend for them.
Either way, it's great times to be an airgun enthusiast. Lot's of exciting guns being made. Here's to 2016 being an innovative year!
Nice to see the question being put forward in print then answered, rather well, actually. I for one, found this to be interesting and informative .
Good job. Now I'm wondering Matt, did you get time and permission to do some video shooting while there, and will you be bringing this to us in another episode ?
Thanks for this.
I want to be part of the Air arms family, I’m saving up for AA TX 200 !
Just not sure the HC or the longer version? Love the quality and springers is the route I want to go . Thanks Air arms 😊
what a cracking view at 15.13.
I absolutely love my AA 510S. I have Assault rifles, Shotguns, Deer rifles etc. but my AA 510s in walnut is my favorite gun.
Mine as well! Very accurate, well made, and a beautiful gun as well
Nice to see English made kit from an English company.
The barrels are Walther, i'm sure
This was a great video! I ordered an S510 XS Ultimate Sporter Xtra a few days ago (my second air rifle after an Edgun) and am excited to receive it. I always wanted a BSA when I grew up in Johannesburg but never got around to grabbing one, and since I now live in the USA practically no one has them available so I looked for alternatives and am glad I did since I have read and heard nothing but good things about Air Arms. I have watched some of your other videos and you do a great job, and it's nice to hear a familiar accent :) I do envy your hunting grounds, I miss the beauty of SA ....
Am still using my s410 carbine and had no problems with it. and she must be atleast 15 years old can't mind when I got it ps still gets used every other day . Thanks AirArms it was a great investment
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🙂✌🤞
a wonderful story, will check out Air Arms in the future
Great vid !! love those little English workshops..
great vid mate love air arms .love my s410 classic it's a dream to shoot and every time I go to the game fairs here in the uk I always head straight for the air arms stand . next gun for me has to be the ultimate sporter
Really enjoyed this Matt, thanks so much. Everything was perfect, music, film, just all parts. You did a fine job!
This looks like an excellent factory where they make a great range of products for both the domestic and international markets. A great firm that has internationalized its product range.
I love Air Arms, they make some of the best quality and the best looking air guns in the world!
As usual, a great and informative video. Have been contemplating the purchase of a 510 and although I live in the USA, I'm not sure I necessarily want FAC. I like the greater number of shots from the sub 12ftlb and I've watched enough videos of 12lb guns to know that at reasonable range they can be just as deadly as a FAC. So..... Long range shooting isn't really suited for where I live (suburbia) and most shots are 50 yards or less. Your thoughts?
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!👍
My favorite Air gun. Love my TX200 HC Walnut, my S400 MPR FT now with Aeron FT stock And my S400 Classic Walnut 👍
Waiting for my TX200 mk3 Walnut stock. Very nice video and edit. As you guys say . . . BG. 👍
Excellent film, very slick.
Superb!
My only complaint about Air Arms is they charge for left handed stocks and don't use ambi stocks much.
good video....looks like you enjoyed yourself. .you're lucky to have been inside there...
So, lets have a guess, export high power Bullpup, or export bigger calibre rifle......the Shot Show would be the place for the launch of that. Good video Matt.
You're on the right track Giles! Thanks mate
This was a very cool video I love all your videos but this one I just didn't expect. so cool
good honest video matt , great bits of kit air arms rifles !!!
got 5 of there rifles, springers and pcps,all fantastic quality.
Welcome to Sussex.
A fantastic rifle company. I loved my TX200........... Have you ever considered branching into the airsoft replica market? You make a reliable, actuate selection of those, you'd corner the market. Kids and their dads, mainly the dads, spend a fortune on airsoft guns, and repairs.
Weldon very informative and excellent to know about the Air Arms one of my favorite Air gun S510
Keep up the good work and all the best.
Regards,
Khalid
Very good company, Im hope they bring back there Pro Elite breakbarrel back in prodution or a newer version of it.
Im really missing a qualty like AA breakbarrel airrifle
Doing around 25fpe .22
That's what it sounds like!
Right I shall be ordering a new air arms tx200hc. Makes you proud to be British. I bought guns from Sussex armoury A long time a go
AirArms are the best! I wish I could afford a new one. I have the entry level S200 and I keep looking lustfully at the top guns... S510 please... Send to...
Love your videos!
Great video!
Cool Video :) love watching your content, keep it up!
Thank you..i love these guns..i been saving my money to buy a pcp...n..i think im gonna buy a t200 n build it into a hunting /feild target gun...thanks
Well made and interesting ...of course the Air Arms mantra repeated throughout the video is naturally showing the company in it's best light and when I made a air rifle purchase recently after nearly 30 years out of the sport I so wanted to buy British I really really did , but in the end it was a Weihrauch HW100 (the legend) got my money . I am not argueing that Air Arms don't have good products etc ..but a look around on the forums and internet there was tons of information on both Weihrauch and Air Arms and based on this information the balance was in favour in my opinion for the Weihrauch brand and espescially the HW100.
If I won the Euro lottery tomorrow I would invest a couple of million in Air Arms research and development and make them and their products a truly World beating brand and product group whereas currently they are up there at the top table they are not at the head of the table where I would love to see that British company sitting .
you can't go wrong with the HW 100. The .177 is amazing in performance
I had to laugh at the sign in the back ground "I'm not arguing, I'm just explaining why I'm right"
I wish they made a more powerful valve for the s510 in .25 and more ambidextrous stocks in Canada! I'm not a carbine fan and would like a .25 that can do 950 with 25.4s. 850 advertised is a bit too low for my taste, it's a shame theyre very reasonably priced for what they are.
Why didn't they give you a code to place at the end of your video with a 25% discount rate at a new rifle? That would have been cool if they hooked up your Subs... lol
+Sin City Outdoors I wonder why the thought 'opportunistic parasite' comes to my mind when i read your post...
Peter Pan he gave them a ton of advertisement...... That's how the Internet operates.... 25% discount is nothing to them. When I read your post I thought to myself.... What an old disgruntled hater!!!!!!!
Can u do a vid about how to select a good rifle for acurracy and power for under 1000$ and a good scope for it too preferably pcp air rifle
Love air arms rifles own s510R ULTIMATE SPORTER best air rifle I’ve shot excellent quality precision engineering pellet on pellet 35 yards sub 12ft lb .177 👍
Excellent video Matt! What you don't know about me is that I'm a CNC maintenance mechanic for a very large company. ;) That's my real job. Obviously not my youtube channel lol. I can totally relate to the machines in that factory. I love to see behind the curtains of a great products. That being said I'm also involved in the safety end.... Where the heck are their safety glasses!!! :)
Nice to see that old horizontal milling machine, takes me back to when I was an apprentice in the 1960's
Nice one boet!
I own 3 air arms rifles and really like them, as a UK shooter ive been disapointed that you dont make a sub 12fpe optimised TX200 anymore the MK3 was a step back for sub 12fpe, also a break barrel would make you more competitive. you will loose market share with springers that i feel as subpar i.e walther branded springers.
+Gecko Jenkins I don't think AA have to worry to much about walther, they produce great springers but you are right about the break barrel.
the lgv and lgus are sweet guns at fac power
Friend of mine has the lgv in fac and it is nice. on another note, any relation to beargrylls ? just yanking your chain ;)
We want Air Arms in Australia ??? :)
+Matt Winser You can't buy an air arms in OZ ?
please let mis West know that it wil be great hve a vintage line back that wil be awesome !!!
12:17 I'm from Ecuador, I own 2 air rifles, 1 Diana and 1 Gamo... but I dream to own an Air Arms TX200 Mkiii, probably next yer, I have to save some money. But yes, I agree with the lady, this type of air rifle quality is an investment, I hope last all my life. In the other hand, cheap air rifles like Gamo, they just last 1 or 2 years, the Diana (German made) is also a good quality air rifle. Now I only recommend to buy UK or German made air rifles, all the other brands are junk! Regards.
best airguns in the world
I think another british company know as daystate may have something to say about that.
Their strength lies on the smaller air tube
any bullpup?
Why do they not do more 4 left Handers??
Air arms never go to fair best company in air rifles and customer service
Has this already been uploaded?
Do you still own a air arms or you through and through fx only now
Get rid of that spring at the back of the trigger
i live in Tanzania really hard to fing airgun shops i need some help i want a rifle for my first time need help please
Just seen this and am very impressed great vid, you should come back to uk and make another especially with Brexit coming, companies like AA are just what UK need to get Britain up of it's arse and lead again. Trying to justify spending on S510 ult sporter it's gonna happen. I love the attitude of the people at AA fantastic to be British.
dreaming to be with you ...
They "used" to be your favourite air rifle manufacturers....now it seems it's "fx"🤔
Would of been good to see more of the machinery rather than all the talking
The reason I didn't focus too much on the machinery is because there's already a video covering the manufacturing process in depth
I wanna say same thing 😀
+M Dubzem what the hell are you talking about, the company is the people that form the products.
excellent video, if i want machinery ill watch How Is It Made.
please help i am dying for a Prosport in Mongolia :)
it is funny seeing my comment now, i am now a proud owner of a Prosport since February
2 😉
Just ordered an S510. To my horror, i have since learned that they do not produce them at full power and they aren`t regulated!
The low power bothers me more than anything, in a country where you`re lucky to be allowed a peashooter! not taking the s510 to the 11.5 (ish) flbs is unforgivable. All my other guns shoot at 11.4-5 flbs.
The s510 arrives on Monday and my excitement has dwindled to zero now :(
Oh well, should have researched it better before purchasing one.
What are u talking about?
KB Eightyseven
Errr, it`s in clear English?
+Come2theLight it's not clear what your saying at all, what power is yours shooting at? these shoot full power, and we'll over the UK limit if u have fac
KB Eightyseven
Oh i see sorry,the s510`s shoot at around 10.3-5lbs, when the legal limit is 12lbs and the average is 11.5lbs (thats what my others shoot at).
I understand about FAC but i`m talking about the sub-12s.
But regardless, i am OVER THE MOON with the gun, it is awesome and i couldn`t care less if it`s slightly under powered.
It is extremely accurate, very consistent given its lack of regulator, and an all round great rifle. To say i`m impressed is an understatement. So yeah, i take it back now i`ve tested it out in the field.
Ironically, it`s now my favourite gun in my collection.
Claire West is hot !!
So we are not going to watch any more videos with the wolvering I guess
only talks where is the actual footage of them making an air rifle ????
I agree with M Dubzem .
I would like to see what makes their guns special. Umm polishing triger parts or Miking barrel cuts etc
Just sounded like someone blowing their own horn instead of showing us.
I heard a thousand words and saw very few pics.
Drurry Nuff'Said
I like Air Arms, but they have to start putting regulators on their guns, otherwise it will be difficult for them to keep up with other big names.
Right about NOW would be the perfect time for Air arms to bring back the pro elite or a new tx based break barrel with tyrolean stock option. Britain WANTS to buy British products WE WANT TO HELP air arms get through this difficult ugly situation caused by the ccp and now politicians making life even harder. Please air arms. I'll buy 1 on 1st day available and know it would sell like crazy if it's made to your usual standards .. I know noone that matters will bother to read this.
