Does anyone know if American Air Arms has plans to manufacture more guns or have they shifted their focus totally to barrels? I was told by Airguns of Arizona that they have not received any guns from American Air Arms since early 2023.
Yeah, he sent one to one of my friends in the Northeast and he returned it cause he couldn’t get anything to shoot out of it.My son shooting the HPS 30 when Tom was gracious enough to let me play with it. Date on pictures is December 16 2023.

Yeah, it’s really sad. I spoke with Tom for the past nine or 10 years and he always seemed like a gentleman on the phone but then again most con artist do.That’s the problem with them… no communication. Been hearing about the new guns for 2 years and it looks like AOA just got one a couple days ago.
Bashing ? You wanted news about the company you got it? Besides, it’s not bashing when it’s the truth. Bashing?? I should’ve started bashing him three years after not receiving the 452 Bashing? after three years of waiting. I remember asking him if the 452 is gonna be ready for a hog trip that I wanted to set up in the Carolinas he says yes go ahead set up your trip and here we are. And it’s not just me let’s make that clear so this wasn’t a one and off. I can go on and on, but I’m gonna leave it at this. Have a good day.My apologies to Tom and American Air Arms. If you had read the title of my post, it was for NEWS about the company. I never intended this to be place to bash the company or its owner. Moderator, please feel free to delete this post!
Yeah you have every right to air that info out and I certainly hope this thread isn’t deleted. I certainly 100% appreciate it for sure. A brand gun I will certainly never buy. Even if one works one would have to worry about support down the road. Not like the guns are cheap. I was actually eyeing a Cpl A of A has on their used section. No way now. Thank you againBashing ?

I literally got rid of mine for free for parts brian from Vereduim air gave me a great deal on a 257 so I sold it for parts. The problem is though Americanairarms has no support whatsoever. The best with Tom is when he tells you that strange that’s never happened with any of my guns. It’s so laughable just in my own personal experience. I know four people have nothing but issues with them, but like I said before it’s like owning a race car without support once it breaks your screwed.Yeah you have every right to air that info out and I certainly hope this thread isn’t deleted.

The problem is that new valve design that he came up with it literally leaks all the time in my opinion I think it worked a little better than the original a little more consistent and easier to tune, but after 50 shots leaks and I have two other guys that have the same thing happened so it wasn’t just me. I guess after yesterday it looks like I got my final payment on my 452 even though I paid $2800 I got back $2700I can live with that I guess after six years of waiting.It is good to know all of the dealings, not just the good ones. I guess I have been lucky, mine works great. I'll tell you what though, if it didn't, I wouldn't be waiting for years to get it fixed either. I just don't understand what a leaky airgun is either. I'm serious. Unless the receiver is broke, or air cylinder is actually damaged, how does a gun just leak? Change the orings. Upsize them if you have to. Your friends are waiting around for years with a leak? Crazy, lazy, or the patience of Job I guess. As far as not getting what you paid for, you should have gotten a lawyer after the first year, I certainly would have. Business is business. I love my Paradigm, but that doesn't mean that I can't recognize an injustice either, and I certainly wouldn't want it overlooked. Tom is a big boy, he can speak to his side of this if he wants to. Please, moderators, leave the this post up. People need to stay informed, not coddled.
