GOt my smooth barrel at texomaprecisionpellet.com and my shell saddle at macabespeed.com/shop/ols/products/aea-zeus-72-cal-razorback-shotgun-saddle-and-sight
Stock is on the way😀. I will say after firing several hundred shotshells with no broken stock, make sure the bolt on the bottom is nice and tight. The steel bar on the base of the receiver engages the stock and should keep this kind of break from happening.
Do you still feel that tight of a choke could be putting extra stress where the barrel attaches to the receiver? I started at 710 for fear of this...but if 705's not breaking open the shells was gonna try 680 maybe?
Damn bro! You got balls for continuing to pull that trigger in that predicament. Could been rocking dentures for the rest of your life had that gone wrong! Dedication to the tube if I've ever seen it. Could you print a sturdy synthetic stock for that beast?
I don't know if it has come across your mind, but would you print a stock for the Zeus in the future for when things like this happens to the factory stock?
Jim runs those through an injection molder after filling...woulda thought the lighter capping woulda yielded more consistent results, but this is really interesting??
In my opinion, it's just gonna keep happening. The stock is gonna break again as soon as you get a new one, until. They make a stock out of strong enough wood to handle it either that or go Polly.
Buy diamond stocks for the 72 I bought two the zeus is a great gun with a garbage stock that's too thin the aftermarket diamond stock cost me 633.00 a piece
Do you know if these guys got their shit together they should make these guns be interchangeable with like a Remington 870 stock she can go buy like a Boyd thumb hole stock for it, or a aftermarket shotgun stock. and literally made the gun to fit a real stock that you can already buy that would open up everything to the point of tactical stocks, you know give you a lot more options instead of a rifle stock on a shotgun airgun and they should have that damn gauge on the side not to put the barrel at your face that’s probably the dumbest spot they could’ve put it the least safe. and I would do the same thing dude, nobody should be comfortable with pointing any gun loaded or empty at their face. Treat everything as if it’s loaded. Yeah we definitely have one. I’d like to keep mine for a while at least

Believe it or not, I am working on a NEW brittle design that should brake with any choke and start to spread as soon as it leaves the barrel
I'll definitely be interested in this new design Jim...got a bunch of these shells in the old design...thank you for continuing to improve on this!

Many thanks Jim!
These results were incredible!!! So impressed with your new zeus setup!!!!
I'm seeing some dope Frankensteined, printed-foldable 'zeus' stock in near future I think! 😂 Data galore. Thx again!
The "Buck Buster" choke tube is tighter and would really let you reach out there with a tight pattern.
What is the best air shotgun on a budget
Bro you need all weather stock then wooden you have good luck that type wood but shots are good
Yeah, that Zeus is my new 💯% new favorite!

I love you're always 💯 with us

Close to completion

You need ro get your hands on the AEA T9
It's easy to make shoot n see targets with spray paint!
I'm considering buying a ZEUS but this stock fracture thing is concerning. Is this a common issue? Seems like a serious design flaw 🤔
I think I might need to tighten it down more next time.
Fairly, uncommon, but give me two months and you will have an excellent alternative stock design (in the works, half way there).
AEA Zeus stocks breaking is why some vendors over here stopped selling it.

I don’t think this country could handle 4 more years of a guy turning into a roomba and bouncing around stage after every press conference. 🎯
