Sidewinder is going back

AoA is one of my go-to vendors. I had one of the first .30 Daystate Delta Wolves that was a total turd, but AoA did right by me.

I'm pretty sure it was leaking when it arrived. I shot it quite a bit the first few days, several fills...then after not shooting it as much is when i realized it was losing air over a couple days. turned out to be 20bar a day...almost enough to pass for heat loss from frequent fills until it stacked up and went from 300bar to 220bar over a couple days.

I'm not mad tho, AoA covered all the shipping, and they are going to keep it a couple weeks to make sure it doesn't still have any slow leaks.

That's cool then, as long as you're not out anything extra. Sad it came that way. It's comparable to getting a new corvette amd having an oil leak... like alot of the new C8's had. Nothing like getting your new bad ass toy and having it go right back for a few weeks.

I like my huben a lot more than the sidewinder. It feels a lot more refined and polished. The sidewinder had the performance, but felt too much like 'parts bolted together' than streamlined engineered product. also my first bottle gun and that is a bit of a turn off, but i did go get an atlas bipod clone to try on it, so that may change my feelings!

Ah man that’s really interesting! So the Sidewinder feels a bit janky? That’s disappointing. Although I haven’t held either I’ve heard most people rave about the Huben’s handling and build quality.

I would at least check the air gauges... seems to be where new guns usually leak from. A quarter turn clockwise and you're on your way.

Exactly, the leak could be from a super easy spot to fix and def not worth sending it back over.
