EVOL Where is this new hammer system??

[Madeintheuk]

Weren’t we told about a month, a month ago?
I’ve always been told there’s time, and then there’s Tom time! But I’m chomping at the bit to get one of these systems for my mini.

Right next to the plenum extenders.

Timed just before Christmas, so you lucky fellows can gift them to yourselves… Brilliant on Toms part…

Well, when you guys get yours I will be anxious to hear feedback !!! I don't think I will be modifying my paradigm, not after slinging lead with her in the 30 mph gusts yesterday.

What are you talking about I already got mine!

Im torn. My mini is shooting so good I don't realy want to touch it. The cocking isn't bad but not as light as other guns I've owned, I'd argue my favorites I've owned are AGT Uragan and Vixen. But then again if I could cut the cocking effort by almost half that's pretty awesome

The cocking effort needed is ok with me because it doesn't feel toy like, its positive, feels like its meant to be man handled type of thing.

I got off the phone with Shane at AOA a little while ago, and he has contacted Tom to ask about them. His response was, I have the parts, but haven’t made them into kits yet. So AOA has no idea when they’ll be available. In the next couple months is his guess.

You mean that plenum extension, as well as the external regulator adjustment?

They are both great, and have gotten my 30 grain slugs over 900 fps now.

 

[Pumacarl]

Sure, keep rubbing it in, we'll get there too someday. You really lucked out getting your gun worked on, when you did. It's good to be lucky!

 

[Woogie_man]

You can do the same...just screw up your air cylinder and you can get the parts! But seriously DONT DO THAT! LOL

I try to avoid posting publicly details pertaining to the inner workings of AAA. In this case, I'll give some details that explain the delays in the upgrade kits as well as the standard EVOL line and the HPS line.

Most of you know almost everything is manufactured in house. To make any economic sense, we need to make parts in sufficient quantity and make those parts on schedules that allow us to meet promised delivery dates to distribution and individuals.

Almost every part in an EVOL, HPS or Slayer has a finish, the finish may be anodize, passivation, black oxide, etc. While we prep all parts in the shop (bead blast, tumble, etc.) we do not apply the actual finish; we rely on outside vendors for the various finishes.

Plenum extenders, hammer upgrades, and external regulator adjustment are all products of the year plus development of the HPS line.

Months before EBR we had sent all our new steel parts to shop specializing in black oxide. Enough parts to complete several hundred EVOL and HPS guns. This is something we have been doing for years without issue. The shop had completed the processing and shipped the parts back to us UPS as they have done many times before. Somehow in the 45 mile trip, UPS had managed to first damage and then lose our parts! (lots of very inaccurate info from ups - being nice)

American Air Arms is a small company, a loss of this magnitude is devastating both time wise and financially.

We immediately began to remake the lost parts and by EBR we were nearly finished and ready for black oxide again. The day before we left for EBR the lost parts magically showed up at the black oxide shop labeled "return to sender, delivery refused." Yes, the box was damaged and there were some missing parts but the majority was intact.

Now that we are back from EBR the catchup begins... As mentioned before, the loss of time was/is devastating We are doing our best to get caught up but it will take some time as shipping completed guns takes priority over upgrade kits.

We will do our best to get some upgrade kits packed in the next couple of weeks so please be patient; I can assure you they are worth the wait.

@Madeintheuk doesn't this sound like what happened to the box that went missing between you and I for 2 months? Only 2 hours apart!!!!

Levity - Thank you

I've been very impressed with the information and expertise available with all that AAA the company and its customers are involved with. I am figuring out what seems to be important to me as a shooter based on my experience in the powder world. Thank you all for the information that I have encountered as I work my way towards a first decision in the airgun world. I own a small company. It takes an amazing level of energy, planning and follow through to be successful and maintain that success. Tom, his company and his customers have a very cool sort of magic. My next move is to find one to shoot.

 

[Woogie_man]

We know your working hard Tom! You and the guys are awesome and thr wait is well worth it. Wish I was closer I would offer to come in on weekends and help out

 

[CTAirgunner]

Levity - Thank you

No ill intent , at least I hope it didn't come out that way , just that the shipping companies are absolutely atrocious to deal with nowadays and lack any sort of accountability.

 

[Madeintheuk]

I appreciate the reply Tom. Hoping I get one of them available in a couple weeks! Lol
But seriously……..
