Our forum host Michael took a LOT of videos and so did Steve from AEAC. Pyramid also had a videographer there too. I would imagine they have a a lot of editing going on before they post anything but I am sure something will be coming out soon from Michael and Steve.
While I wait for the EVOL, seeing as how I haven’t received shipping confirmation yet, I put my Dreamtac back on Hades pellets. This will be the gun that the EVOL will have to shine over in order for me to keep the EVOL. It would probably be a no contest but after after building a real barrel for the Dreamtac and tensioning it, the gun is a formidable adversary. It makes the same power, close in size and weight and zero issues with POI shifts. My apple trees are dropping little apples like crazy so this is a fun time to sit them all over the place out to 100+ yards. Then I just slip around and shoot at them like I’m hunting them. Shooting from various positions. Can’t wait to see how the Mini does and feels in comparison. And if it’s louder than my Dreamtac at the same power levels.
I ordered in 2019 and still waiting for my 45 slayer. Nothing but excuses from Tom Costan. I have all of the emails, texts, receipts and my Amex payment for $3,038. Total rip-off. Don’t wait for the time to expire like I did on my credit card, file a dispute right away. I had to hire a law firm and file a civil case.
I received my Mini today. AOA was just busy and it took a while for them to finally ship it.
My order is from February 2019. You would accept a 4.5 year build time?!? Even when he told me he would send me a check last year. I corresponded with him BEFORE I placed an order to avoid this mess. Here’s my conversation from today since you don’t believe me and want evidence….
I planned to use it today for the first day of squirrel but it’s pouring rain. But I did shoot a couple tanks of air out of it yesterday. First thing I noticed and didn’t like was cocking it. Something is missing at the back of the stroke that other really good guns have. I like when a cocking lever cams over. This gun is Kral like with how it cocks. The second thing I noticed was the trigger. Wow! It’s good, no it’s great. But maybe a little too great. I’ll see if I need to adjust it heavier once I hunt with it. After the first mag I ditched the tiny grip. After the second mag I ditched the crappy Magpul stock. The Magpul was comfortable on the shoulder it is a cheap rattler compared to what I like. The reg on my gun is set around 2k and the gun shoots 890’s with 16gr. I will see where it’s set when I feel like messing with that aspect of the gun. I’ll do that when I get a couple hundred pellets through it. Oh, I like how light the gun is and I didn’t wreck that by putting a heavy scope on it. This gun should be a pleasure to carry with me when I have other bigger hunting chores to do in the woods.
From this post I’ve been in contact with others in my same situation for 4-5 years out. Over 10 of us so far. I wish you the best with your EVOL.
