I bought an Avenger from PA, refurb. Life happened and didn't get around to shooting it for some time. I find it shoots 8 inches right and low. Working through the problems, it really seems to need a new barrel. I'm willing to pay for the barrel, but Air Venturi won't sell me any parts except a reseal kit.
The gun was $180 and they want me to send it in, pay $60 per hour service charge and pay for the barrel. With shipping that's gotta be $120+ on my end to fix a $180 gun. Seems like an inexpensive gun that is a tuner's delight would benefit from easy availability of parts, kind of like FX does. I can call and order whatever I want to replace from FX, but not from Air Venturi. Makes me wary of any Air Venturi product. Does everything have to go back for repairs even after it's out of warranty?
That's really limiting. I guess that new compressor I'm planning on won't be an Air Venturi, even though that was tops on my list, mostly because I don't like this kind of lack of service. Makes no sense to me.
Buy AV at your own risk, I learned the hard way.
