Hi all.
I was justdrooling looking over the AAA EVOL Tactical, when I read this part :
"I have a leak, what should I do?
PCP airguns contain many o-ring seals; both static and dynamic. These seals can deteriorate over time and may periodically require replacement. We suggest you ship your airgun back to American Air Arms for service."
and also,
"Our airguns should only be disassembled by factory-authorized airsmiths.
If there is a need to disassemble any part of the airgun, please contact us first to prevent voiding your warranty and potential damage to the airgun and/or yourself."
So, does anyone know ( or could even guess) just exactly WHY they do not want the owners to do things like replace o-rings ? I realize they build their rifles incredibly well, and with some non-typical techniques ( like threading barrels into the receiver). But, would they be that much different to open up / re-assemble ?
I'd love to consider ordering one some day.......but shipping it back to them every time it needs a new o-ring would get old mighty fast...............
