AEA I can’t trust this gun. What now?

Classic AEA... needs parts properly made from other manufacturers who respect themselves, in order to work.

Agreed. I do like Texoma.
Did you know their rounds will go all the way through a ceiling?
Ya, I've made a couple boo boos.

But in an effort to hit what I'm aiming at... sometimes, I added a laser sight. First, went with
a blue light under-barrel model. This was a spectacular failure since I couldn't even see a hint of the blue dot at 10 paces in daylight. And under-barrel was a poor choice too.


This is a gun with four inch barrels and no sights. I couldn't hit a barn with it stock.
And ten paces seemed like a decent distance since that's about as far as I can see the green dot in the day.

So I got a low profile ABOVE barrel (duh) green dot sight HERE and this has helped me greatly with my aim. It was easy to sight in and The gun can now hit a playing card from ten paces. . . if yas can hold it still enough. I used bags of dog food to hold/steady the gun for sighting in and it's very repeatable... if I have enough dog food.

So I believe the gun hits what it's pointed at now. Now I just need to work on practice... and this weird safety. Is it really impossible to safe the gun after the first round is fired?

Again, Thanks for the comments

Regardless of why those plastic collars shattered, the way that vendor interacted with a customer is reprehensible. I can't imagine any of the airgun vendors I've dealt with treating a customer that way. The guys verbiage was horrible was well. He sounded like a second grader. That whole interaction was terrible. This thread should get some attention and hopefully it affects his business accordingly.
