Still will work. You move your gauge to the second hole in the receiver after removing the inner screw.

AEA HP SS .25 decided to go Full Auto!

.42L on mine.
FRONT CARBON FIBER BOTTLE ADAPTER FOR AEA HP MODELS
CARBON FIBER BOTTLE ADAPTER FOR AEA HP MODELS ONLY NOT FOR HP MAX MODELSfoxairpower.com
Need one of those. As Firewalker said you can regulate them also. He gets twice the shots as I do with his regulated system. Get a carbon fiber bottle. Mine is .3 liter. A .35 would work Perle has a .35 on his.

I have an sf, but can’t put the safety on when it’s not cocked. Is that a normal thing? Seems unsafe to me.

Same on the SS, but now that I've got all the air out for a repair, the safety moves freely.
Have you tried with no air inside?

That’s how I check my gun to make sure it’s de cocked…. I try to toggle the safety. If it move it’s “ hot”

The valve finally arrived and the airgun is in working order again, apart from the usual magazine jams...
So the issue was only the broken valve, not the trigger or a stuck pellet in the trigger block.
Basically the valve of this airgun is trash... I have also ordered the reinforced version from ebay
just to be on the safe side. This airgun would have been top if it had a proper valve pin and the
metal magazine from the JTS Airacuda max.
The airgun was left in the closet for 5 months with 220 bar pressure and when I tried to use it again,
the valve broke in half on the first shot. It looks like that this valve cannot handle the 220 bar, so
in my opinion if you store the airgun, at least do it with a lower pressure like 120 bar or so.

Glad you got it working again.
Yes the valve pin and mag are the aea s Achilles heel. Good looking SS. Love the CF shroud !

Its not bad, but your bottle is better... 
I only get 12 full power .25 shots.
How many do you get with the bottle?
Is that a moderator on the front? Does it work?

Mine is .22. It gets 3 mags before poi starts to shift.( 360 cc bottle )
That’s a buck rail and it absolutely works … big difference with and without.
It DOEs not work well on my .25 Ss+ and Ss carbine.

3 mags is perfect! and the working moderator is a plus.
I've tried one on my .25 and it did nothing, that's why I asked.

Yeah that’s what I experienced with my .25 s. No difference with or without a moderator …
I think its a power issue as both my .25s are in the mid to high 40 fpe Zone while this .22 is high 20s fpe almost 30
Even with a Donny Tanto no real difference

Can you (or someone else) think of what might be causing this kind of pellet deformation?
Before I installed the valve, I cleaned and lubed all the metal to metal moving parts and
it is cycling much smoother now. The mark is on the bottom of the pellet. Could it be that
the pellet probe is returning now faster than the magazine can rotate? It looks like that I need
a stronger magazine spring, what do you think?

Well once they are sorted out they rock the house. It’s a lot of gun .. small , powerful and accurate. It’s not for the uninitiated it seems. YMMV

Definitely!
I did not return it to AEA Europe only because the post office was giving me trouble.

It does look like the probe but I’ll let Siccumj or Firewalker answer this. I was confused at your picture but remembered you aren’t shooting lead pelllets but copper.

It is the magazine spring! They are using a very weak spring and on top of that it looses tension fast.
The next pellet should be in position way before the probe returns after the blowback, but its not.
This airgun needs very good synchronization in order to work properly and they messed up.
They should have used a mechanism to cycle the magazine not with a spring but with the probe
action. Very bad design.
Anyway, I did not have any stiffer spring and if you try to install it in the magazine by turning it
twice, it will slip from the tiny hole. What I did was to design a small choke that will limit the
blowback air in half and insert it on the front 8 hole cylinder.
I have now emptied the magazine 8 times and I only had a single jamming, so its definitely the wrong timing
caused by the weak spring!
The current spring has a 0.6mm thickness. I will try to find springs with 0.7mm thickness and try again.
