    AEA AEA semiauto after a week of ownership

    AEA (especially the HP SS series) are for people who love air guns and like to maintain them. The people that throw a fit about them just want to pull a trigger like they do with firearms. I have an AEA HP SS .30 that works just fine. I've had to replace the valve pin twice, but it is not very...

    Any guns you regret buying"

    Only regret so far is that my Hatsan Bully .25 cal is not a .30 cal.

    AEA AEA valve pins

    They break in the middle where the metal pin ends. That tells me that the metal pin should extend all the way to the back. Easy fix for the company that makes them.

    AEA AEA valve pins

    Just had to replace a broken valve pin again on my AEA HP SS .30. This is the 2nd time now. Is there a reason they are made of plastic?

    Hatsan Hatsan Bully .25

    Is it possible to replace the bulky air bottle on a Bully with an AT44 air tube. I am not worried about the shot count, just want to know if it can be done.

    Slugs Vs Regular pellets

    No fair. I'm in Alaska which is as far away from Florida as you can get without leaving the continent.

    Solid Slugs

    So far, the Griffin ones look the best. Thanks.

    Solid Slugs

    Why don't they make solid (non-HP) slugs in .25 and .30 calibers? I found a few but the calibers are just a hair larger (.257 & .308) than I can use.

    Any guns you regret buying"

    I love my little AEA HP SS .30 caliber. I like to tinker and once you learn to work on it and get it right, it's great. Much cheaper than the FX guns.

    Anybody regret adding an aftermarket regulator?

    I'm looking to get a huma regulator for my AEA HP SS .30 cal. Can't find a single video on it. Want to know if it helps solve the problems with the semi auto?

    Umarex HDP lost power

    I would take it apart again and check that all the seals are in place.

    AEA FPE vs Caliber

    To tell the truth, I'm not 100% sure what the actual fpe is for mine. I don't have a chronograph. I'm going off the specifications posted at dealer websites for best guess. https://www.aeaprecisionairguns.com/products/hp-series-semiauto-ss This is the fps/fpe listed at a few sites. 670 fps/...

    AEA FPE vs Caliber

    It's an AEA HP SS .30. Can probably get a bit more power by making it bolt action but without a longer barrel, it's stuck around 40ish fpe. As far as accuracy goes, this little thing is wicked.

    AEA FPE vs Caliber

    LOL. 20-30 yards is what I hunt spruce hens at. I could take the longer shots but prefer to get up close.

    AEA FPE vs Caliber

    This is not theoretical. I have 2 air guns that fire at different speeds. The .30 cal is much slower than the .25 cal which explains the .30 having less power. The question is simple. Would you rather hunt with a small light weight 40 fpe .30 or a larger heavier 49 fpe .25?

    AEA FPE vs Caliber

    AEA HP SS .30 which has an 8 inch barrel. Also have a Hatsan Bullboss .25 which hits harder. Got them for small game hunting.

    AEA FPE vs Caliber

    What is more important, FPE or larger caliber? I have a 30 caliber putting out 40 FPE. Also have a .25 caliber doing 49 FPE. Larger caliber creates wider wound channel but smaller caliber travels much faster and hits harder. I'm thinking the .25 would be better over all but I could be wrong.

    Western Airguns Just for hunting purposes, under which circumstances you would choose another rifle.....?

    Which are you most accurate with and more comfortable shooting/carrying? That's the one I would use. I have a Hatsan Bullboss .25 and an AEA HP SS .30 that are both around 40ish fpe. The Bullboss has a bit more power and range but I carry the AEA for small game because it's lighter and more...

    Has the .30 Cal the best possible we could expect from a .25 Cal?

    LOL. Nope. 😁 My "mama" died 43 years ago. Just tired and cranky from work.
