    AEA Bintac T9

    How does the semi-automatic mechanism work on this gun? Does it have a piston in the shroud that is operated off of air venting from the barrel? If thats the case. have a suppressor on it might create too much pressure and operate the bolt too fast!

    AEA opinions on aea guns

    this is what I’m saying. The guns are 90% there. If you ever been on an engineering project you know that last little bit is always the hardest to sort out. Its why I don’t recommend these guns to someone who is not technically inclined or know what they are getting into. You might get a good...

    AEA opinions on aea guns

    I have two AEA's, one is a .25 cal Challenger Standard and the other is a 9mm/357 big bore bullpup. My opinion is they are made very well but use very low-quality ancillary components. All of the small parts are questionable at best. Things such as O-rings, valve pins, and springs seem to have...

    I Love 3d Printing (RTI Mora/Nate Chrony)

    Im shocked the RTI didnt come with the cheek riser. Seems pretty sad for a premium brand to do something like this. If it was AEA or something, it would be understandable. Speaking of AEA, here are the 3d printed chassis i have made for my AEA guns. Made from PETG and I am proud of them.

    Nutria hunting in Texas

    Just internet searches. One of the articles I found was talking about Katy Texas, which is down by Huston.

    Nutria hunting in Texas

    From the research I have been doing, it seems like they are down in the Huston area, which is quite far and would be a trip for me. They also don't seem to be nearly as populated as they are in Lousanna.

    Nutria hunting in Texas

    Has anyone done this? Do they really have a presents in Texas? I'm in far east Texas and I have heard of them in Lake O the Pines and also Caddo, but they dont seem all that common. I'd love to try hunting these and it seems like our air guns are pretty much made for them!

    most powerful 25cal air rifles+ bull pup length

    I was looking at these a long time ago. How well does it handle slugs?

    N/A Big power from $1,000 and under guns?

    I like my .25 AEA Challenger. I just put a Huma reg in it and havent shot it much since. I havent had time to measure the output with the Huma, but the accuracy was shocking. The gun is so simple and seems really well built. I think most of the bad press comes from the semi-autos, which i have...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    I'm working on my 3d printer to get better quality 3d prints so I can make even better chassis. I just did this one:

    Other Best place to buy a "NEW" AEA Challenger big bore?

    I got mine from Bintac, which is my second AEA gun from him. I believe he does testing on ever gun he sells to make sure its good. So far no issues. I also just completed this chassis for my 357 which was a ton of work and im very proud of.

    AEA Bintac T9 air leaking

    I don't have any of the HP's (the T9 is based on the HP) but i know the HP's have weak valve pins. When those get a crack, they let air through the barrel like that. Time to take it apart!

    AEA My AEA Bigbore Challenger Bullpup Chassis

    I've been working super hard on this chassis for some time, over a month I think. I finally got it to a point to where I think it done. It is the most complicated thing I have designed to date and I'm really excited with how its turned out. The gun is a 357 AEA sidelever Challenger, a beast of a...

    Someone talk me out of this…

    I have 2 AEA's and both are the old challenger lines. One is the Challenger standard in .25, the non-bullpup and no longer made. The other is a 357 big-bore. I haven't shot the big bore much but the 25 has been good. I think the Zeus is based on the same architecture which is really solid. The...

    The thing I hate most about .177 cal....

    I believe this is antiquated thinking. Modern pcp’s have enough power to push slugs in this range. Heck, I have an avenger in 177 and it has enough power to drive any 177 ammo. They even put a lighter spring in the 177 than they do the 22 and 25, so there is more power on the table. The sad...

    The thing I hate most about .177 cal....

    ...Firearms don't use this caliber size. This means, if you want to make your own barrel, or try something off the shelf, you are most likely going to get a .172 cal barrel or tube, which is what firearms use. I really want a rifle that can shoot heavy 177 slugs, but I look at the twist rates...

    What are your thoughts on 3d printed accessories?

    Its hard for me to make things for guns i don't have in my hands. How about one of my moderators? Also, i just looked up the current version of the gun, and it looks like it comes from the factory now with a band. Will that fit yours?
