Announcement from AOA regarding LCS Air Arms.
- Thread starter airgunsofAZ
- Start date
There is a phone number on your link there for warranty support. Don’t know if the numbers good, didn’t try it, but it’s there.Wow that sucks for members that purchased a $2000.00 dollar LCS. Doesn't look like LCS wants anything to do with warranty work (and not even a phone number) as they link:
https://hardairmagazine.com/news/lcs-airarms-sk-19-three-year-warranty-details/
"LCS AirArms is a fairly new company, but they have long-term plans. This includes a solid warranty backup and support structure for their customers."
Long term plans and solid warranty Pft.
"Precision Airgun Distribution (PAD) has a long-standing core competency in providing after-sales backup and warranty support in the USA. This provides a firm base for the LCS AirArms 3 year warranty."
No mention of LCS on PADS site?
Glad I didn't purchase one!

LCS did not have a phone number when I checked last. Warranty support according to the linked article is provided by another company called PAD http://www.precisionairgun.com which there is a phone number for.

I'll own the rattler 357 in a couple generations when all the issues get ironed out. I say "why not own both" lol

The FX Impact M3 .357 is one of the lowest power .357 cal airguns available. Without the additional slug power kit, I think it only puts out 140 fpe.

You can get 200fpe out of a modded impact. I don't imagine much more than that though as the mag limits the size of slugs.

PAD is Airguns of Arizona for all intents and purposes.
Owned and operated by the same people.

You are correct, I was not aware as they hide that info on there site, but a little detective work and yup. Interesting.

When you look at all the extra you have to do to get the M3, in .35, to hit near 200fpe vs straight out the box, it’s not even close. I own the M3 in .35 and have been disappointed in FX. How long have we been waiting for the extra’s?
The Rattler comes out the box producing the numbers and not needing an extra few hundred dollars to make it run with the other’s in that caliber. I really like my FX rifle’s but in the .35 it’s lacking.

My .30 Rattler idles at 140 fpe, with the turn of a knob goes up to 180 fpe. I've not shot the .35 Rattler but imagine it's a complete beast next to my .30 caliber. These guns make power so easily it's simply put, impressive. I read what others have to do to squeeze power from the M3 and to me it's essentially a pellet gun attempting to be a big bore. I remember years ago Fred saying he had no interest in producing a big bore and then the .35 got introduced. I remember seeing it and laughing because I already knew it wasn't going to work with that platform, but as everything it just needs the right salesperson.

I agree with you about the rattler. I plan on waiting a couple generations to see how well it does and let others iron out any issues.

The efficiency of the rattler is another perk I like 15 shots at near full power is pretty legit, especially if accuracy is there. Full power on my m3 is like 6 or 7 consistent shots. Velocity wise, not accuracy and with a 250 bar fill. I do enjoy mine for hunting purposes and enjoy tinkering with stuff. I understand that it costs money to do that, but it is something I enjoy. Others enjoy a turn key product. I do too, but nothing is ever perfect which is part of what drives me to find out how to make it better.

As a new arrival to the air gun industry during the past 3 years and a LCS woner my learning tells me to stick to the crossman benjmin level manufactures. What I seen with my purchases is there are many seeing the growth and prelanching substandard products with the youtube advertising to drive revenues. I found this with my AEA hp ss 22 cal grate power driven by cheep parts. the same outcome when you put 700 horse powr in a toyota break break break. I feel a new entry need to have at least 5 years to become a valued supplier.
