Huma. Maybe there is hope?

[Chief Ten-Beers]

So I E mailed Huma and asked if they were considering making Regulators for our Air Avengers that are in Limbo with none available here in the States..
They said that they were in talks about it, but no decision has been made yet. Maybe there is hope?

[Motorhead]

As with ANY after market parts supplier .. the question gets asked before going down that road, IS THERE ENOUGH of a Need / Market to justify making and stocking / distributing said part ?

 

[Chief Ten-Beers]

Truth. As I said, we can only Hope.

 

[WorriedMan]

Holding out hope BuckRail comes thru with aftermarket stock for JTS Airacuda Max, just like for Airacuda Standard. Suspect current and expected future sales comes into play, as Motorhead noted. WM

 

[Chief Ten-Beers]

I remember asking Buck Rail if they had plans to make a single shot tray for the JTS. And they said not as of yet.

All we can do is express interest, up to them to determine if demand is there to make it worthwhile. WM

I’m actually shocked that they don’t. When I was or sometimes still am a budget PCP guy, I’ll have a Huma at my house before the gun even get here.

 

[Chief Ten-Beers]

I was surprised. As popular as it was when it came out, and even now they have to have sold Ton's of Avengers by now. Its been out for what? 3 Years? I would think the market would be good, and appreciated.

 

[Vetmx]

Especially since at least the early ones were known for having crap regs. Does someone have stock regs that Avenger guys can buy when they have a creeper? Or do guys just sell the gun?

 

[Chief Ten-Beers]

Gun shops will sell you the Gun, but they don't carry any parts. Almost like a Monopoly.

 

[EPG]

Perhaps its not just the potential market volume for Huma - i.e. there have been x thousands of Avengers sold…

Perhaps they also weigh the potential of those with a $350 rifle willing to spend $100 on a replacement part - that also have the knowledge and tools to self install.

Hey, I’m the guy that will - if its got a great barrel, I’m all about optimizing the rifle….

…. But I’d bet the majority of $350 rifle owners might rather direct the money towards an “upgraded” rifle than put it into the existing entry-level budget rifle.

Just my opinion…

 

[Chief Ten-Beers]

I have also read that the X has a slightly different Reg. So that would require 2 different regs.

 

[MongooseV8]

Well thats what you can expect with the cheap budget pcps unfortunately. I normally suggest new pcpers get into something that has parts available in good supply. These types of products are manufactured to be throw away items, with few spare parts being made. Its very common in all industries now, and affects many of the low end pcps. That being said, Tyler at PA is heavily involved with Air Venturi and has done a great job convincing the manufacture to provide some extra parts to some retailers. PA has some spare parts for the Avenger. They are not in high quantities but you might be able to get some stuff from them off the next boat. Huma probably will never make a regulator for the Gen 1 Avengers. The low tier pcps dont have a long enough shelf life normally to drive the enormous investment of money and man hours to design a reg. You can also upgrade to a bottle with a Ninja front reg like I did. Looking back I wish I didnt spend the money on my Avenger, but live and learn.

I’ve owned some so so China guns that Huma almost instantly had regs for. PP700 and P15 come to mind. The only thing I can figure is those regs crossed over into other China guns and it was worth it. If the Avenger reg is exclusive to that gun only, well maybe it’s not worth holding your breath.

 

[Dr. Kralenstein]

Maybe altaros or lane have regulators for the X series?

There is the KEY example of a realistic expectation of the feasibility or realistic expectation of the marketability of said "After Market Part" that being the part were to fit a Cheap gun

 

[Chief Ten-Beers]

Once the slo-Boat from China Gets here, I will just get a couple extra regs to keep as spares. I Love My JTS, but no more Chinese Rifles for Me.

Hi Grant,

I know we are discussing making one!
But can’t promise this will be done. (That’s out of my hands)

But I hope that fixes some.

Met vriendelijk groet, best regards

Huma are quite nice, i have gotten them to make 1 product, and i have pushed them another idea they liked but are not going to do right away.
