As the title says, new member here. Wanting opinions on the AF Texan vs. AEA Element Max? I plan to get a .457 as that's what I have casting molds and equipment for. I am leaning towards the AEA mostly for looks and weight.
N/A New Member Advice On Texan vs. AEA Element Max
- Thread starter Pellethuntr
- Start date
I've had a Texan .457 for almost 4 years now. Did have to get a replacement tank valve as soon as it arrived under warranty, had it in 3 days after a short and pleasant phone call. Not a single issue afterwards and I don't know how many hundreds of rounds fired out of it. Only thing I'd recommend but haven't done myself yet. Put it in a stock or rigid chassis as they are prone to flexing if shouldered too firmly.
Make sure you have a reliable source of air, these are hungry. And do the maintenance on them.

As others have said... Texan over AEA any day. Good customer support and excellent community support with the AirForce brand.

Big calibers are not me, but really AEA do not do much for me, i pretty much see them as entry level stuff.
Now a Texan that i cosider a whole other ballgame.

Never owned either one, but do have an Airforce TalonP. Just based on the quality and performance of it, I would lean towards the Texan. In fact, A Texan is on my wish list, but in .257, not one of the big bores.

Thanks for all of the advice everyone!
I ended up getting a .457 TexanSS carbon fiber and a Mad Dog stock!
