Blackwolf TAC chassis release this weekend

[GHairgunner]

Mine will arrive in the beginning of next week

When are we going to start seeing what the barrels are? IE length, twist rate, performance in 100 yard conditions in each of the calibers.

Mine will have the 28” or 711 mm slug barrel with 1:17.7 twist rate and I will be filming performance at 100 yards and beyond with the .177 HP

 

[Scriv]

I went with the 17" pellet barrel in .177, I am curious if AOA will make reg adjustments, or just test them as delivered from Daystate. I'll have to ask when it arrives. .

 

[Scriv]

I just received an update from AOA. They said that it will be at least another two to three months before my rifle will come in, maybe more. I began the process the first week of February. Well, there it is.

Yea it sucks waiting and don’t be surprised if there is a price increase!
Oh and they seem to be comming thru at max power so when it does come thru id order a ghost hammer spring kit too. Then you’ll be sure to get it where you want.

I put my money down at the old price, and have copies of the invoice. They went up about $400 last week.

Yea i said that too

Are you saying that they didn't honor their agreement?

This thread has not aged well. AOA has a few of the 23" guns, but still no date on the arrival of the 17" that I ordered. I have learned that I mistakenly thought that Daystate would build guns that they had already sold, but alas they are building what they want as they go. Maybe August, but maybe not.

 

[Soren Drost]

Daystate is building air rifles as they are ordered and they have quite a lot on back order still

Your rifle is probably a part of a bigger delivery to AOA ??!?

Tariffs and the fact that the US dollar has dropped 15% in value will have an effect on pricing in the US for sure

well if it get to bad they can make em here in the USA berreta has done it in years past to meet given contractual needs if need be they can do it again.
I think a USA made Daystate gun would be welcome?

Another day brings more developments. Good ones. My gun came in, I was able to burn my big fat HAM discount, and in case you were wondering, yes, as expected, they honored our agreed upon price that was issued at the time of order. This is why I do business where I do. AOA you have a good crew. Thank you.

Pricing has not changed over here

Fortunate for you. There are trade offs in everything.

The rifle came in, and they said that they have been reducing reg pressure prior to testing. Oh, and they honored the price that was set at the time of order.

Thanks for using your big fat HAM discount! I am delighted to see HAM Airguns Points being used in a beneficial manner! Certainly they can result in a worthwhile benefit when buying at AoA

Now you have to let us know what you think and how it shoots! Lol. Good luck with it!

Thank you for working to get these programs in place. Just another reason why this is such a great forum.

Scriv, it looks like 65 days ago we both invested in a Blackwolf. Got a call today from AOA mine is in also. Prices stayed as quoted. Quality company AOA. Now in just a few days I will have some testing to do.
Waiting is difficult but rewarding.
