FLgunner - I am not sure what the "new" is in reference to on the packaging. It might be that the mag housing is new design. Do those ones have feet on the bottom of them?
ChRiSiS - Glad you like the SAM. It is really easy to blow through pellets with it. Adjusting the spring in the mag takes some time to get the mechanics down. It took me about 20 before if figured out a consistent technique. Now I can do them in seconds. I would think we will have SAM mags out soon.
The trigger travel is a little long but should be 3lbs or less. I have ten(s) of thousands of round though them ( I was getting pellets by the bin of 15lbs at a time) and can pull it back to just before it releases without even thinking about it.
Thanks,
John
