I purchased the 452 Slayer in Feb 2019 - $3,038.00 - Still waiting. Have asked for a refund multiple times. Tom has said he would send me a check, never happened. Always empty broken promises. Where's my money?! I don't even want the slayer anymore.

@HHoller Now you're in the right place. You've waited for years and that sounds like it sucks. Please give @American Air Arms a little more time to respond and hopefully you all can solve the issue soon. Tom has been communicative about the issue to rectify these sort of issues as of late so far as I can tell. As you can see in this thread another HAM member made contact today to resolve his issue.

Corey, I sent you a PM
The only reason Tom communicating is because people are calling him out. How much longer one is supposed to wait for rifle?10-20 years because that’s where this was headed. I also was promised 452 October 2018 paid in full. I was told at least a year which is fine but now we’re on year six after many promises and deadlines and nothing. What really gets me mad is a few times I was told it was ready and never was two years ago. I asked him if I could have the gun by April to go on a hunting trip he said absolutely well guess what, that didn’t happen. I don’t know about you, but if I owe people money for a product, I wouldn’t be going out on vacations and hunts. I wish Tom the best but I will never ever buy another Americanairarms product. I’m not even going into my situation with the 357 I own from him.

@Mvideira I'm not telling anyone how to feel. I'm just saying that he is and has been communicating with people in this situation. So why not engage in dialogue to remedy your problem(s) if he appears willing and able for whatever his reasons are? I don't have a dog in the fight here. I like to see people do the right things.
I'm with you on that, i do believe it's a well made rifle but the lack of customer service just plainly sucks, he cant even send me a couple small parts in the mail

I’ve been trying to ‘remedy the problem” for the past 5 years. do you actually think anybody believes him? After five years of begging for that rifle and nothing. The remedy is very simple. The Ponzi scheme is over!!! Pay the people you owe.
I received a text message from him last night saying (after five years you couldn’t wait a couple more days for me to resolve this). Do you know how insulting that is? To me after all the missed deadlines and lies, that was insulting. He never planned on building that gun. I could’ve put those $2800 in stock and double my money or lost it all either way I didn’t have a choice. As far as I’m concerned he got a $2800 interest free loan,for the past six years.
Are you selling this one? I'm just short of. 452, I already have. 308. 357.
Tom contacted me and said the .452's would be shipping Dec 24 or Jan 25. I told him to sell some then and send me a refund as I had moved into a senior retirement center. I have moved out of the retirement center now and would appreciate the gun or the money. 78 now, getting closer. Regards, Tom
This is my prior post. Regards, Tom

Aug 16 2025 and still no rifle or money. Regards, Tom
I’m not sure that will ever happen. Tom had me on a hook for over six years with a full paid 452 and I never received it. Rhonda give me a refund and payments never again anything made from Americanairarms sorry for the bashing tom but well deserved.
