Thanks for the recommendations!
I also met Frederick and his son Johan (sp) last Nov. at the EBR. I was not competing, just down there to check it out. I’m on the fence about going down there this year after the shit AoA has put myself and others through. RE: http://talonairgun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=29093

I hope to get mine back with a quick turnaround, shooting laser accurate, <2fps SD, with 60-70 shots.

As it sits, it is the most accurate rifle I have had to date. (see rifle list below) I put three shots within 2″ at 150 yards (on purpose) just a few days ago with unsorted…Read more

They’re not doing it anymore from what they told me. To many leaks and returns.

I also e-mailed FX about their leak problem and they said they had that problem fixed with new style dowdy seal.

…Smart idea.
Thanks for the update! I think this will improve things.

So, that’s two places someone could possibly find it.
Also, I think that AoA has got a better fix in place for the “leaky dowdy seal stack system,” things will start to calm down a little. There’s still going to be bad ones in…Read more

I agree but you know as well as I do that posting something like that would get pulled. Whether it’s because of favoritism or due to the fact that it is really a review of AoA and, therefore, should be placed in the dealer BOI. It would get pulled either way and I would put myself in a position to possibly get yanked as well.

So,…Read more

I got my BC back and it is now a very accurate rifle. AoA repaired the clipping issue by drilling/milling out the shroud. While this seems like a shortcut to me, it worked and so I’m happy about that. What I’m not happy about is that they didn’t put any blueing or anything at all on the bare metal from…Read more

I think it weighs about 30-35 lbs. I found the center of gravity and put a handle on the top to carry it around with. It was interesting to see it hopping all around the shooting bench when I was testing it with the 9mm Glock.

I was emailing Tony about my problem and he specifically mentioned to never dry fire the trigger mechanism while it’s not on the gun. That’s not why mine failed, however. I think in my case it was an oversight during assembly.

It looks to me like you need to replace the rod only. If that’s the case just unscrew your HST, slide out the spring and then the rod will unscrew as well. On mine, the female threads were bad so, I ended up having to get a whole new assembly from Tony. Here’s a link to the…Read more

Check your hammer spring set up. When mine went bad it made a big fps difference and sounded very strange.

Do you think you’ll dial it down a little when you set it up to compete? I’m currently shooting right around the same fps out of my R-3. I’m waiting on a part from Tony still 🙄 and, once I get it I’ll be able to fine tune a little.
