AEA Bintac T9

I’ve had my t9 for about 3 months, I got it with the folding stock sporting a ronin. I haven’t been on here in a while. Just got on to read and see what everyone is shooting. I didn’t realize there was this many issues with the t9. I didn’t realize that it must have ejected the breach seal once, maybe on a dry fire. Because it don’t lock out when the mag is empty. Other than replacing that and watching my shot count. I guess I’m lucky, I’m getting 880fps with the fx hybrid 35cal and they are fairly accurate too. 1 inch group ls at 30 yards still deadly at 60 yards. Works wonders at 25 30 yards on raccoons, can’t wait for a fox or coyote to come sniffing around the quail cages.
 
I sent the broken handle back today. Luckily BinTac was kind enough to send a replacement to my local dealer. I hope I will receive it soon. They will also look into the material and see if there is a design issue. Obviously this should not happen. The bolt handle should be able to withstand the force of the blowback. Looking at the material at a glace, it does seem fairly brittle. It has a solid outer shell, but the white-ish inner core looks a bit sus. Im not a metalurgist, so I don't know what that material is called. But it's definitely not solid steel.

Yeah, now I can finally get back to those custom magazines ;)
Custom mag built along the lines the way the hatsan blitz extended mag is built would be nice, a 12 shot mag. I see the bar style mags that stick out the side of the t9, I don’t think that’s the best route to take. The t9 is really only good for about 12 hard shots, so 12 shot oval mag with a lockout spot on the mag. Would be fantastic.

Ouch..... but I'm not surprised honestly always thought the Prototype T9 bolt and handle looked more durable and better then the finished product tbh.
 
Seriously, where is the Sonic that they announced in JANUARY?!……..think I’m done with AEA.
Probably still trying to get certification for the 7000psi in the USA. I want that 92 cal they showed a while back. That would be kick ass for a Bison hunt in Arizona.
But I guess I’ll have to try it with the MCAR.
Honestly, though I won’t stop until it’s heard from every mountain top and valley world wide. The main issue with AEA guns. Everything failure I would bet money is caused by the spring that supports the function of the particular part that failed.

Two questions is the t9 worth it to buy and that magazine are you selling them? I’m about to buy one of these mainly because I like the hot swap option but this seems like a lot of issues
 
I decided not to go through with the magazines. The results were too inconsistent to sell them. I tried everything to make them function reliably and unfortunately it never did.

It's honestly too much of a hastle to waste any more time on it. The T9 is unreliable and just as finnicky as the S45. I regret buying it, and it is the last BinTac product I will ever touch.

Oof. But I don't blame you for canceling your mag project or being disappointed in BinTac they do need to up there quality along with AEA honestly crazy there best product they had this year was easily the Harpoon.
 
BinTac is just AEA, but worse. Their QC is abyssmal. They didn't even bother to test the T9 with a moderator before they slapped it onto the market. That should tell you enough.

At least AEA is getting better. The Harpoon was a big improvement over the defender. The Megalodon has been a big hit, and a lot of people seem happy with it. The SF series (while not perfect) are a lot more reliable than the original HP series. They're not there yet, but at least there is growth.
