AEA uses some cheap plastic for their valve pins in spite of knowing full well about this problem - I was told by the guy i bought my gun from to think of the pins as a consumable item if I wanted to keep shooting my .357 Max, I said no thank you and returned it.
Now why a company that is trying to make a splash in the market can't be bothered to use the proper plastic for a valve pin is a question I don't have an answer for

My two megolodons have been good after hundreds of rounds. I did a replacement for someone else no clue why or what happend. But the new ones should last it seems

I have two of them, and I've had no issues with the valve pin on either of them.
Perhaps the later versions use better valve pins than the first batch. If I recall correctly, the first itteration also didn't feature that second fillport on the receiver. So clearly there are different versions floating around.
Still, I will buy some spare ones if I can get my hands on them. I did the same for my T9, even though I never had one break on that one either.

It could be the first gen of models. I have the older style with no second fill port. The valve stem cracked right where the valve spring sits inside. So definitely a lemon part imo

Im all of a sudden developing a small leak on my Megalodon over a period of a week or so I will leave it at full charge and come back to be 1000 psi lower I've sprayed the entire gun with soapy water and no bubbles anywhere so it must be internally any ideas ? Thank you

Most likely you have a bad oring somewhere. A lot of ppl would just ignore a slow leak like that but it would drive me crazy. Hopefully somebody post a dissembly video for the Meg soon, because it's a lot more complex than most other AEA's in a good way.

Does anybody know a reliable place in Europe where they repair airguns? My Meg leaks, and I can't stop it. :C
