AIRGUNNER PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT: DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT: PCP Tunes Airforce Texan Regulator with Dual Gauge!!! I just got off the phone with a trusted airgunner who informed me there has been a catastrophic failure of one of these devices. I just received the photos and it is scary.
You may have seen me recently test this regulator on a video and on social media posts. This kind of failure is a zero tolerance issue in my book. If you have one of these - TAKE IT OFF. If you just ordered one - CANCEL YOUR ORDER. If you have one - DO NOT INSTALL IT!
Thank GOD no one was hurt. I am going to let the machinists and engineers in our airgunner community reading this explain theories of why this failure occurred, but I just wanted to make sure I let everyone know about this as soon as I got word of it.
Bigger picture statement... It is important for us as a community to inform each other of these kinds of failures to protect each other. IMMEDIATELY!
O-rings fail, guns leak, and stuff happens that we may not always share openly when things go bad with gear or brands we love, but when it comes to failures like this - YOU MUST SHARE.
Even if something was working great for you 9 times out of 10 - if something like this happens - SAY SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY. This goes not only for failures like this or bottle failures or failing safeties and trigger mechanisms, if something happens to you that is this level of a safety issue - TAKE ACTION.
Information is still coming in about this catastrophic failure and we will be providing more information as it comes to light.
