AV Avenger now available with a wood stock!

[JoshuaGibson]

This is @ Airgun Depot and the price is $450. (Their synthetic was $350 as opposed to $300 almost everywhere else). It is available for preorder and supposed to be another month or so to ship.I don't remember the exact date offhand. Pyramid hasn't featured the wood stock version yet, but hopefully they will, and at $400.

Is it the new improved Gen2 with redone regulator and better quality poppet-?

Do you know if they are still prone to fail in these areas-?

Extra price may likely be to cover all the warranty swap outs when they gotta pay 4 shipping.

 

[JoshuaGibson]

Yes. It is an "updated version" as they say on the page.

They don't get very specific about the updates though. The price dropped from 450 to 429 since last night. Also worth noting, no .177.

Heres a photo for anyone who wants to see also.

I have several Boyd stocks on PB,s. Really like them. Wish they had some for my pcp’s.

 

[NickNorthGA]

Hummer57 It really isn't too hard carving from a blank. I have minimal tools and knowledge and this was my first attempt at a stock. It's not perfect but beats the socks off the original stock.

 

[Odoyle]

Anyone call PA or AV to verify the issues that plagued the Gen1 Avengers got 2 make sure the new one is reliable-?

 

[JoshuaGibson]

Awesome! So is that a blank specific to the Avenger, or? I appreciate any info you can enlighten me with. 

 

[JoshuaGibson]

I'm not hip to any widespread issues with the Avengers. I'd be interested to see any vids or anything that show as such. I'm not doubting you. I just haven't seen much bad about them at all really. Stock seems to be the #1 complaint I've seen. I've seen a few people showing the mag system deforming pellets in some instances and that the Carm brand mags alleviate the problem. Is it all seal related or mechanical issues? Did you have any issues with your gen 1 personally? Thanks. 

 

[NickNorthGA]

Joshua it is pretty much a block of laminate. You have to route out for the action and carve yourself

 

[NickNorthGA]

Most of the problems people complain of are easy fixes to someone that has been into pcps for a while. New pcp owners that buy one send it back because of a simple leak that will fix just by taking pressure tube off and re lubing or replacing the o ring. Another common one is poppet not seating which is an easy fix by dry firing while filling. People just assume their rifle is broke because of leak that is an easy 2 minute fix. I have a 22 from the first shipment and was one of the first to have one. I have had zero problems with mine aside from the slow reg which isn't a problem to me it just takes a couple of seconds for reg to settle after every shot. Not a big deal. Im not trying to send off 10 rounds in 10 seconds

Search function on this forum works.

Oh I was told I look like a real jerk when I do them in your face copy paste AGN link blasts to prove factual points regarding issues with items. Looking in from the outside it sorta dies look pretty bad. For the nay sayer.

That's what search function works for.
