i'm completely feed up with this impact. i'm ready to try something else. has anybody had any dealings with AOA on trade in's? obviosly i don't wanna lose any more money to AOA. any imput would be appreciated.
i cant seem to hold down any type of group with the .30 cal barrel, the magazine i got in .30 cal works but it doesn't work.it compatable but it's garbage. in the last week it seems to have developed a slow air leak. power wheel has been fixed, and i still couldn't get 850fps out of the 30's i don't know if thats what is affecting the accuracy in .30, it's not the true picatinny spacing. the .30 cal shroud is extremely tight. i recieved my impact in the beginning of dec. it was the 26th made i think? although in .25 it's a varified fly killer at 45 yards. the barrel locking screw was replaced, and the pellet probe locking screw threads are coming apart."APerfectMiss"What issues are you having? How long have you had the impact?
there did replace a barrel and damaged pellet probe but they didn't have a proper magazine when i bought the barrel so after nearly 3 months of waiting for something i paid for i said **** it send me the 9 shot magazine, well don't be fooled by anybody it will frustrate you to death try'n to make it work. now i didn't buy the gun from AoA but that is where it originated from and i guess where it has to go for any repairs. if i did buy it from them they would still have my money and i'd still be waiting."amoxom"Hold AoA's feet to fire.... $1800 for a gun that is a lemon, and that you are not happy with and all the issues. It should be fixed for free.
Time to ream someone. How come the manufacturer and their sole US distributor have not stepped up to help? Have you been vocal enough?
i guess im just going to have to bit the bullet and go with option #3 then sell it for what i have in it or have the most expensive impact in exsistance. unless AoA wants to make me happy on a trade in."Cliff_Allen"My opinion, you've got 3 options.
1) If you're completely forthcoming about it's issues, you'll likely have to discount the gun a fair amount to sell it. Or maybe not so much, they are in high demand/low supply. You won't know until you put it up for sale and there is definitely a bit of a "hassle" factor.
2) You trade it to AOA or wherever and take a hit on trade value, but likely won't have to worry about being nit picked after the fact because of the issues it has. In a sense, you'll be able to walk away from it with little to no hassle and move on.
3) Deal with AOA and go through the hassle of having everything fixed properly under warranty. Once it's 100% it will be more marketable to the public and you will likely lose very little selling it used.
All of them are a trade off in some fashion or another. Do you want to spend time...or money. I just went through a similar situation and was pretty frustrated with a gun and decided it was worth it to me to trade it in and wash my hands of it. Time is not a renewable resource, money is. I walked away happy knowing I had saved myself a lot of time and frustration by trading in.
Best of luck with whatever you choose.

Ditto! For $1800 they keep it until it's fixed to your satisfaction! No way you should lose money on a gun under warranty that is not working properly!"Cliff_Allen"3) Deal with AOA and go through the hassle of having everything fixed properly under warranty.
