Looks alot like a LCS SK19. Hhmmmmm.Almost identical.
Introducing the Western Airguns Rattler .35 - NOW IN STOCK!!!
- Thread starter Baker Airguns
- Start date
I am super excited... 
Ordered it from AOA this past Thursday. I've already got a 700cc bottle ready to install. Wondering if I will be able to use the FX bottle adapter on it like I've done with my AGT Vulcan 3. Quick changing a 700cc bottle is a bonus!
TJ barrel with sub MOA accuracy at 100yds (per article in Hardair magazine.com) This is going to be a beast!

WesternAirguns.comThis company does't appear to have a website?
http://www.westernbigbores.com Takes you to AOA?
With the unknown status of LCS ,warranty work and AOA announcement of them dropping them:
Announcement from AOA regarding LCS Air Arms.
Considering the recent announcement by LCS Air Arms, we wanted to assure our many supporters, suppliers, dealers, and customers and provide some perspective on this matter. Generally, we enjoyed selling LCS ’s line of airguns. However, we continue to experience commercially unacceptable delays...www.airgunnation.com
I would be gun shy.
No need to be gun shy. Not disclosing what I've been told about how this one came into fruition, think of the Twix candy bar commercials. One on one side, one on the other.
This one should be solid.Upvote 0
As with the LCS SK19 it says right in the exact same place on the exact same part "Made in the USA from domestic and imported parts" My bet is THAT part is imported! lol

Yikes! I had not seen this. I am an LCS owner, of course got it from AOA. What gives with whoever makes these setting up a new line if they can't fill the pipeline for the existing one?This company does't appear to have a website?

Just stopped by LCS website, something they have not maintained very well, This announcement is no where to be found, but they certainly have updated their retailer list promptly

I suspect you will, the LCS uses the FX compatible valve system. One of the things I love about it, hot swapping bottles when they get low.I am super excited...

Nice looking gun. Does anybody know if parts are available for it? It would also be interesting to know how choked the TJ barrel is on it from somebody who purchased one.

Pre-order looks like September.
There is a .30 up on AOA site now as well. 17 round magazine.

When they release a. 30 and a. 25 Cal, doubtless, those will be rifles that will deserve to look at.

As for now I can't say the gun is to expensive..right now almost every high end gun starts at $2000 .. some require easy another 800 in gizmos to shoot..so at $2700 shooting ready with that kind of muscle 
in 357 .. the gun has its place..a bulldog cost now $800+ by the time ir goes out of the tuner + shipping you are in for another $1200 .. and the gun only wort at best $700 ..usually if reliable it supposed to hold its value better.

they just released a full-auto 30 cal with 17shot mag but with all the improvements of this model such as slug-friendly magazine, hot swappable air bottle, shrouded silenced barrel. price seems the same as the 357.

from my perspective these are 3 guns in 1. first semi-auto is a big plus and convenience. second they can do decent power and get 50 shots per fill which is plenty for a fun plinking session. third it can sling 15 heavy slugs with deadly precision for hunting, all semi-auto.As for now I can't say the gun is to expensive..right now almost every high end gun starts at $2000 .. some require easy another 800 in gizmos to shoot..so at $2700 shooting ready with that kind of muscle
many people here have semi-auto small calibers for plinking. and then they have big bore single shots for hunting. this gun can do both plus semi-auto for followup shots and defense. and so it's priced somewhat accordingly.

Just FYI, the LCS bottles are FX compatible hot swapable as well. That was part of the original LCS design, so not an added feature here. The addition of the slug friendly chamber and barrel is very nice though!

Let's hope there's a visionary magitian that get to figure out how to make the Rattler look atractive.... .. Hopping for an extreme makeover like the one made on the Evol Paradigm.
