so if you look at the aea hpss the bolt probe area is turned out all the way through to the same size as the main bolt.. all airguns I have have a bushing pressed in so that the hole is only the size of the probe, that keeps stuff out of the trigger group..I have had plenty of pellets stuck in the trigger area and preventing the trigger from functioning.
At the beginning I did not realize this and thought that if you pull the trigger a pellet will come out.
I had a hole in a window because of that.
Very dangerous design!
With all the issues it has, the AEA HP SS should have been sold for less than half the price that AEA wanted for them ($500+).
If I knew what I know now, I would not have bought one even for half the price.
AEA HP SS or AEA Challenger Pro are ridiculously expensive junk, and I had one of each.
I'm actually attempting to make a thin bushing out of a washer and press it in to close up the big opening.. when I got it to fix for a friend it wouldn't even fire.. 4 pellets in the trigger group area..
another issue, doesn't matter if you have semi auto or bolt action there's no bolt hold open latch, so you have to have one hand holding the bolt back and another one holding the gun and a third hand inserting the magazine..
my notos has the bushing, my blitz has the bushing along with a bolt hold open latch..
not trying to put down any company but they could have easily done better.. I know that hatsan leaves a bit to be desired. but after working on this one I am so glad I didn't buy it instead of the umarex notos..
I do have a complaint about safety.. I think all PCP guns should have a bleed screw to remove the air before working on it.. the aea hpss doesn't have one and neither does the notos..
I was very careful and a bit worried about taking the aea hpss apart to clear the trigger group since there's no way to release the air pressure without firing it..
