Thought on AEA

[Deleted member 15252]

This rifle here is currently set at 92 ft lbs and I have it turned down to 11:00. I am hunting with it at night hence all the night vision stuff. I agree the quality is robust in all but a few items magazines being one of them.

As someone that is completely new to pcp and looking to get a big bore for deer hunting the AEA is the only game in town that I can find that delivers legal big bore big game power at a price that a newb can afford.

If someone else has better offerings for a similar price by all means point me in the direction.

That's exactly why I made the jump and bought the 45&50 AEA's. I can't afford the higher end big bore guns.

And I’d love to buy a USA produced big bore but just not seeing anything in the price range.

Check out Airforce outlet page a new Texan can be had for $800 to $1000.00 .....aea aren't that much cheaper... Umarex hammer never really caught on and they are pretty cheap too... Not exactly Big bore but a Umarex Airsaber can be had new for$250.00... I been really impressed by the Airsaber...

Will do.

Definitely don’t want an air bow.

I’m mainly going to be hunting within 75 yards and will be smaller south eastern deer.

One from the camera just the other day.

A little trigger work and this bad boy rock . Want more power just fill to 3900 psi and sling the 50.1 jsb's.yes, it is very loud.View attachment 305967View attachment 305968View attachment 305969View attachment 305970View attachment 305971View attachment 305972

Did the mod quiet the gun down or was it still pretty loud with it also?

I changed the spring in my challenger Pro 357 with Ace hardware but it's not big enough and slips into the rod hole. I made a washer from some nylon bushing and did a quick buffing to hammer and sear. I noticed that increasing the hammer weight and opening the valve and extra 2/10 of an inch would increase the trigger pull also. I can get over 200 ft lbs with 129 grain slug and hit soda cans at over 110 yards.

I've read where some people are putting a shim on the hammer spring to get 180fpe. I would do this but I've never done it before and need a little guidance.
