So I had a few hours to shoot my 30 cal. EQ and not much as far as accuracy also my speed drops around 5 fps per shot. Barrel was cleaned and I used aea, FX pellets nothing better then 4' group @ 100 yds. I also tried FX hybrids they were all over the place. One more thing what's the best way to degas the rifle?

I loosened air gauge. I’m thinking of all the guns I have it’s the only one I’m sorry I bought.

Glad I held off. Bummer as I was super hopeful when it was announced. Probably a brand I will never end up with.

The honesty in your personal assessments definitely helps other AGN avoid similar disappointments… Kudos to you both…

If losing 5fps Every shot you have a regulator issue. You have tried adjusting it a bit correct? If so, got warranty?

They would probably send a new reg I would think ? These guns to me look like they have a lot of AEA in them. I’m sure it’s the same manufacturer. I remember when the regs came out for the AEA standards seeing more than one work just like that. Who knows but this is the budget karma gun maybe a budget reg ? I mean karma doesn’t even put in enough themselves to have an EQ video out yet. It’s been out a minute. The panda and sls models had pre production vids on YouTube. This model ….crickets.

As soon as I can I'm gonna spend some more time shooting the gun if I could get decent groups I might be able to shoot long enough to see if it at least shoots good but then I deal with the hammer spring sounding like a Nerf gun but I would like to try again.

So you're loosing fps and you have hammer bounce, could be you also have a weak hammer spring or too short of one?

Ive got over a thousand shots now and it seems to be getting a little more consistent as far as speed and accuracy.
I’ll keep playing with it but … well we’ll see

I would be curious as to know if anyone else is having a springy sound from there hammer spring?

I have a 30 as well. Hybrids were all over the place for me too. No luck with zan slugs 44-59 grain. Aea 52.2 master slugs are the only slug that shoots straight for me. 2300-2400 psi and no more than 2 on the hammer. Jsb 50 grain slugs were ok. I believe my inconsistency in groups is regulator related as well. FPS isn't as even as I would like. I have managed to put together some decent groups all with the aea slugs, 45 or 50 grain. 56 grain zan pellets were decent too, as were jsb 44.75

The regulator doesn't stay in one spot unfortunately and that is causing the fps to drop off.

Have you tuned your speed? Mine in .22 at factory 2000psi reg and hammer settings with TP on max is shooting 26gr slugs at over 1000fps. That's way too hot for pellet accuracy at 100 yards. As far as the fps drop I can't say. Yes they're break in periods but 1000 shots does seem high. What speeds are you shooting the pellets at? That might be a start for accuracy.
