Slayer Interested in Purchasing a .452 Slayer Hunter - Wait Time?

[Billm]

I am absolutely astonished in a bad way that these posts from multiple people stating that they paid for a product several years ago and have not received either a finished product or a refund receive very little comment. The really strange part is that the company has corroborated the claims in posts on here. It would be easy for me to say that it’s none of my business, except others on here constantly recommend the company’s products to me. It’s even worse when the age of the posters is taken into consideration.

why not just deal with AoA? They will let you know if the item is in stock. I don’t know timelines AAA sets, but I recall a professional tuner would tell his customers that he didn’t know the turnaround but that it could be months due to his backlog. When we sent over a springer, it took 8 months to over a year or somewhere around there. Either way, we knew he was busy so we never bothered him.

Not saying that’s the case here. But I often find myself giving deadlines I can’t meet. I’ve gotten better at it, but I’m always a day or two short

“others on here constantly recommend the company’s products to me”.

That’s because they are really good. The weight for me makes all the difference. The Evol mini is extremely practical. I mounted a somewhat heavy scope and somewhat heavy rings to mine and its still extremely practical.

Yeah day or two?? Try 6 plus years, waiting on a rifle that was never met its deadline. Hope Tom gets better at it( sarcasm).

Are you selling this one? I'm just short of. 452, I already have. 308. 357.

Going back and reading some of these posts of the past year. I can’t believe, people ( mountainairsports) knowing well, what he’s been doing for the past years, still come on here and say it’ll be soon quick lol. I gotta give him at A+ for loyalty, but an F- for not telling the truth. This is going on almost 2 years since that post was made that it’ll be soon now lol that must be one hell of a 452.

Hope AAA chimes in

I would love to hear why he kept me on the hook for six years. He lied to me through the whole time I remember two years into the weight game he told me the gun was finished. All he needed to do is the bottom rail lol.

Bashing the wrong person, hows it my fault relaying what I was told? I didn't take the money and it completely sucks it all went down in flames... doesn't make me feel very warm and fuzzy hearing any of it. I was just excited to see an awesome gun come together, obviously to me it was real as I actually had one in my hand.

Sorry if it sounds like bashing, but listening about the 452 for years (and me never getting the one on order for 6 year wait) and lies after lies make you question his friendship with the people who keep promoting him. Not to long ago there was a whole topic on the history of American air arms about how great it is, while all in the industry knows the dark truth, regarding guns breaking, waiting for months some case years for repairs. I know quite a few horror stories. A few years back on GTA there was a ton of post regarding millionaire arms all ripped off people, and it disappeared on the request of Tom Cotton. They even took down his whole Americanairarms presence there. This has been going for years, it’s time Americanairarms offer a public apology instead of running, and ignoring the people he ripped off.

It's only Tom's fault. It doesn't matter the reason or the excuse, it is his fault. It has nothing to do with videographers or Airguns of Arizona (specifically Slayers were pre-AOA). It is Tom's business and it will be up to him to ethically resolve these transactions. I won't be chiming in on this or any American Air Arms product ever again. But I am disappointed.


It is hard to navigate things like this when a lot of money is involved. Blessed are the peacemakers.


Kind regards, Tristan

Tristan thanks for your input. I'm going to take your suggestion and play peacemaker by closing this thread now. I feel that everything has been said that needs to be and that we should move on.
