      Do you have a bullet mold for this gun? If so definitely try out some aluminum slugs I bet they would go so fast, and with a hollowpoint, the energy dump would be insane

      What do you mean bye key-holing? Bye keyholing do you mean shooting bullets sideways cause that’s what it usually means that usually means you don’t have the right barrel twist? Aea guns have a shitty barrel twist so you might need slugs that are not as long if that is the problem.

      Hammer bounce is pretty inescapable unless you have a $3000 air gun like an fx from what I understand even then the best way to get around that is a hammerless system

    In the Netherlands there is a shop that stopped importing AEA due to massive complains. I think AEA is pushing out to many models and fail to implement lessons learned. I hope your wife is doing well my friend. Please send her our love and support from the other side of the pond.

      In Poland we have shop import them, mostly buying challengers and sf semi auto, Guns are fine but its needs to keep in mind they need some fixes and rework out od the box, sf need different magazine and some work with semi spring, after all its fine.

      They are the reason airguns are inovating if you ask me. The models they Bring might nog be on Point. But without them there wouldn't be a 600fpe mag fed airgun that's pretty accurate aswel. Nor a 1500fpe! Airgun. Same thing for the high powered semi automatic rifles.
      They actually make what the People want! (Sorry for my poor English)

    I have the .51 cal. The way these guns work is that the valve responds with the balance in "pellet weight vs reg pressure". The higher the reg, the heavier the pellet has to be to stop valve dumping. If I run less than 310 grains in my .51 with my current reg setting of 220 bar,, it'll valve dump. I currently run 385-450 grain pellets, and my valve never dumps. Macabespeed, notice how you stop hearing it dump when you were at low pressures.... that's because you were at a low reg pressure that balanced with the low pellet weight.

    Another comment suggested playing with reg pressure. I think it’s a good suggestion. Dropping pressure may improve performance or not but at least you’ll find out & if you share that in a video it will help others & build our knowledge base. Good video Mac. If anyone casts and shoots .457 cal I found a mold from NOE that uses a pins to form a hollow base. The one mold can produce 290, 350, 405 & 500 grn pills. It’s a 4 cavity mold. I’ve tested the 290’s at 50 and they stacked on my first outing. They are long for weight at .875 for a 290 grn.

    Hola muy buena tu prueba pero,de los 3 aea que tengo ninguno anda bien de hecho el Big bore 357 nunca me dió la potencia que declara por suerte lo vendí al mes .El Challenger pro .30 en la tercera carga de aire empezó a fugar por los sellos de la válvula reguladora la cual no regulaba más allá de 200 bar e incluso se venía abajo la presión del pulmón antes de que se igualara con el depósito tanque.Le puse una de esas nuevas con regulador externo y estoy probando.La carabina.357 standard la use 2 veces pues era imposible tirar de su gatillo lo toque y me quedo mal y nunca más conseguí el gatillo y el fiador la verdad en pcp no se los recomiendo a nadie . Muy buenas tus pruebas saludos desde Uruguay.

    DUDE! Another AEA malfunction?! Are you Sponsored by AEA or are you just drawn to their looks? Because I'm not gonna lie, they look sick, but buying a gun is a commitment. I mean if my wife was gorgeous but acted like a total hoe bag....I would dump her ass. Great integrity though bro. Love the honesty. Literally every other CZcams-er never ever shows these malfunctions with the AEA products they represent, but you sir always bring the truth, and for that I am very grateful. Keep up the good work my dude.

    I don't like side levers. Too sideways. I don't like pistol grips on a bolt action or any other that requires letting go of the grip (put it on the other side). The M50 w/ the bolt on the other side is kindof my dream.
