New to the forum. Thanks! A lot to learn, hope this is not an issue that has been beaten to death. My new JTS Aircuda Max will only pump up to 1200 psi. Good for about 4-5 accurate shots. Supposed to max out at 3200 psi, 30-40 shots. No issue with the compressor-with deadhead it hits 3200. Called JTS, no return call. Do I need to return it to Pyramid Air?

Return to Pyramyd Air, spent past two years chasing a series of problems with MAX, still not right. Silver lining is knowledge gained but should have returned. Search, "Airacuda Max," in upper right page corner, using, "WorriedMan," in member search box, for full story. Best of Luck, WM

Return it and move on. I have both the .22 and .25, both are good to go but I had to get through several known defects and JTS has no desire to confirm them or make good on them.

These guns are not made by Umarex or JTS or Air Venturi or whoever, they all come out of a box factory in China and have quality control equal to the four letter word for excrement. The designs are great but the execution is severely lacking. The factory has a giant red knob in the control panel for quality setting:
1. Almost good but leaks
2. Pretty bad but not abysmal
3. It sucks but has redeeming qualities
4. The excrement word
They do not have parts, if it is bad enough they just send another gun, usually a refurb, at least that was my experiences with Umarex and Air Venturi. Others may have better success. I guess.

Part a Class Action lawsuit against Remington years back, regarding steel used in Model 870, IIRC, lawyers got plenty, I got $25. WM

Same factory that makes Dynamic Air Rifles. Airacuda MAX would be OK if they'd made sure shroud tubes were straight, and the wooden stocks had been cut correctly, something DAR must have insisted on for their platform. WM

The key is just not using them maybe 
. I’ve had one for well over a year that has been awesome but I’ve probably shot it on 3-4 occasions max. Lol

I tested a .22 Standard before they came out and besides the clipping on the end cap was actually a pretty good gun. Never leaked, shot really well. Wasn't my kind of gun so never got used a ton as I prefer bullpups and Mini carbines. Got damaged beyond repair from a fall and after awhile I decided to just toss it instead of trying to replace the parts. Didn't pay for it so wasn't stressed but am surprised by all the issues people have from them.
