Just purchased a new AEA Megalodon .50 cal. Does anyone with experience know if this beast has a degas port like the other airguns I own?
AEA AEA Megalodon Degassing?

Certainly verify this, but most aea I've had experience with degass by loosing the guage slightly. Again, I would verify that before attempting.

Every aea gun I've worked on or owned you loosen the tank pressure gauge. NOT the reg gauge

With the rear tank on toward the neck there are little holes around it one of them is a grub screw which u degas from

Off topic, but what size slugs work with the . 50 cal- on 1site I saw a .51 cal option but was thinking this was an error.

The megalodon can fire whatever can fit in the mag and usually the snugger the fit the more power I get but they come in .50 and a .51 I think so if it's a .50 stick to .50

Depends if it's the .495 .50 or the .510 .51 the .495 use the same diameter bullets as a 50 caliber muzzleloader.

That’s what I’m trying to figure out-the retailers aren’t putting out much info re: barrel/slug sizes. This gun looks awesome. I just want to make sure i buy the right size slugs to avoid any issues as I hear Aea/Bintac are picky

I just looked it up on Utah Airguns all they list is .50 and the other sites I checked for the Megalodon is .50 so I'd say .495 or .496 sized ammo I know one Youtube video the guy said his Element Max liked .496.

I replied to a YouTube video and he makes his own ammo but he did say the .495 is what it shoots best

Hey Chandler, do you know if the "neck" part be removed easily? Mine seems to have sprung a leak right where the neck meets the receiver. I checked the exploded view, and there are 2 o-rings inside it. One of them must be damaged or something.

There's 3 grub screw around the neck and one will degass the rifle. Make sure that the collar screw isn't getting on the way of your valve from seating then name sure those grub screws are tight . As far as describing this I can't tell you much about if the bottle is off and if you're describing the problem without the bottle this is what I honestly couldn't speak about I did have a problem taking off the bottle because inside the "neck" on the gun itself ,that brass valve came loose which made it impossible to get the tank off without great effort and I can imagine that valve being loose in yours or any of the aforementioned issues. Check that it's tight with a spanner wrench
