My new Thomas FT gun just showed up at Precision airguns and supplies

JG your calculation omits some things. Most things actually.

If you've ever run a business you know it is possible (even likely) to take in a large gross collections. But depending on costs, there can be little or no profit.

I have no knowledge of the profit margins of this company. But of that $3500, how much is cost of materials, machine time, machine tools and power, machine shop rent, testing, anodizing, employee salaries, business licenses and taxes, etc?

they were saying similar things about the USFT a few years ago
and i think it just might be true about Mike
most definitely a successful gun

"JG66"This gun must be the most successful ever start up in the air rifle world
KUDOS !

Would be awesome to see a Thomas Air Owner's Club website (Hint !) and see all owners at an annual meet with their rifles all lined up from Serial Nbr 0001 to latest...

Also, the ThomasAir Inc. website - from FB & pictures (if Photobucket) are all broken :-( so may as well do this www.TAOC.com  forum...

i'm not real sure just how many guns Mike made before he starting serial numbers but i have 2 of the early ones with out serial numbers
and one of them is real close to being number one because it was his when he sold it to me
i was talking to him when he first started designing the gun and knew then i would have to have one

@Strever

Well congrats on owning what could be then, possibly Nbr 0001 ! - and you can take that to the Bank $$$

What is your gun in ft/lb ? do you know what are the majority are running power wise ?

 

[Strever]

JG
the Thomas guns are adjustable with out tools
in 10 to 20 seconds i can change it from 12fpe to 20fpe or back
i keep the first one at 12fpe for LV and the 2nd one at 20fpe for HV
they have different barrels on them which can be changed out in 1 to 2 minutes with just an Allen wrench
you need to fondle one

he has shipped quite a few across the waters

Good to know.

One of The great thing's about the Thomas besides the laser like accuracy is the fact that your getting 4 guns in one - LV, HV, Open -and Field Target 
really a bargain when you think about it.

Or one for every class.........

 

[Coldking]

Yup - except low & No ;-)

"mark404"UPDATE
It's 90% done and I'll be giving it a workout tomorrow at the range, I sure hope it is as accurate with the suppressor as without

Can you let us know the accuracy results from the test with and without suppressor?
What this job made by AZ?
I can see on the picture some kind of sleeve or shroud on the barrel, is that correct?

Thanks in advance!!

Looks great BTW!!

 

[mark404]

There is a shroud over the barrel and I made it myself.
I am currently testing pellets to find the most accurate die lot. At this point, it seems to shoot the same with or without the mod but I'm out of the pellets it really liked.
currently at 30 yards it's keeping inside of the 9 ring with and without the mod, keep in mind that with the pellets it liked it would consistently shoot 1 hole groups at 30
I'll post the results when I find the right pellets.
I would love to see other Thomas rifles that have mods on them that shoot accurately, I have talked to a few people that have been unsuccessful putting mods on their Thomas rifles and I read that someone sent their Thomas to get AZ tuned but I have not heard how that is working out or if it is done yet.

Don't forget unlimited class too. I push 16gr over the open class. 

I love mine. Dialing in the exact pellet specs and velocity can be frustrating as IME this system is so "tight" that tiny changes will result in major changes. 

Would love to have one in 25cal with a sweet poly barrel. 

I suspect Mike has some surprises coming. Seems like he truly has to innovate and improve. 

 

[Strever]

Perc
you should ask Mike to build you a 25 cal poly so you can shoot the Extreme

 

[Strever]

hi Frank
have you been able to shoot any matches lately ?
and are you still planning on shooting Salem ?

maybe it was Paul Porch who sent his Thomas to AZ ?

I have a Beretta DT-11 on the shopping list ahead of that

 

[mark404]

shot at 50 yards, 5 shot group, the first 3 under the bull then the wind shifted and the next two went to the left ( I did not hold for the wind, I just kept on the same aim point)
conditions were breezy with wind constantly changing direction
all things said and done I'm very happy 

 

[aa_limited]

not a half bad group. ive shot much smaller with my airwolf in .177 much smaller.
mabewith sometweekeing u can get your groups smaller with yr thomas
