That business is not listed (anymore?) under the AEA dealers in the USA: http://www.aeaairgun.com/Home/Dealer

Apparently, AEA' web site (full of translation errors from Chinese(?)) has plenty of bold claims: "We tested the precision of the TRIDENT get 5 shots group of 200yards in 1-0.5MOA in the outdoor conventional condition"  http://www.aeaairgun.com/Guns/SpecialTrident

Noticed that, yes Some models look good but their website is totally weird..

NEA should take that down. If for no other reason than its not part of their line anymore....

Been shooting my HP Varmint in .25 for a month or so now. Still getting the trigger wieght sorted out and learning to speak in Mpa that the gauge is marked in

Dear Sir,

This is Tom from AEA Precision Airguns Company.

First of all, Thanks for your concerning on our products.

In the beginning we did cooperate with each other. But John the owner of the New England Airgun stopped cooperating with us due to some reasons.

The reason will be another story. 

As a new airgun brand, we respect all airguner around the world. 

We would love to hear different voices (positive or negative words ) from our dealers and customers.

And we are doing our best to bring more and more qualified and amazing products to our customers constantly around the world.

Regarding after sale service, we requested our dealers supplying after sale service and we provided one year manufacturer warranty.

I believe that all customers who bought our products could tell you the truth.

I have attached some screen shots from the Facebook Group AEA Owners USA that was established by John the owner of New England Airgun on 7th March 2020.

Please have a look, if you have time. The owner of AEA products will tell you the truth.

Welcome all AEA owners join this Group that John established.

Our official Facebook Group is AEA Owner Group, looking forward to your joining as well.

Thank you very much.

Guys....

I keep seeing this stuff crop up about AEA in their EARLY period........To the OP, Thank you for at least ASKING what current owners think...I am one of them.

I maintain that these are great guns for the value (I own several models), I have not had any major issues, (one minor issue , spring related, that was addressed with LIGHTENING speed....that kind of attention to my issue goes a LONG way)The one big issue that I knew of with the original shipment to this country, was on the .357 Terminator...some owners reported that the rear tank leaked...the fix was a simple O-ring....I DID not have that leak, but changed the O ring anyway.....I have had no issue's or hiccups out side of determining what the best ammo is, which feeds better, what's the optimal pressure...the same kind of stuff you would experience with any other new gun...

I've stated this before these guns are out performing my expectations for their price....do I sound like a fan? I am...why? Because someone has bought something fresh, innovative, and exciting to our hobby. That's my 2 cents...happy shooting!

DJ

How’s the trigger on these AEA air guns do you like the three round burst?

The company is run by couple of Chinese guys with language barrier but seem to be good guys and very responsive. They seem to be couple of gun enthusiasts and not very good good with business dealing and website skills. They are definitely NOT your smooth talking corporate types which I actually like. This seems to be a hobby/side business and probably a little over their head on top of language barrier. What I’m trying to say is try not to be too critical on them because seem to be couple of hobbyists like us.



That out of the way I just ordered a HP carbine model from eBay and can’t wait to try it. The design is actually quite clever and very flexible with AR furniture. The action and components have very modular Designs like FX and Leshiy with interchangeable barrels and tanks, one can even change between bolt action and semi-auto. Couple of reviewers got good accuracy results even, inexpensive, accurate and semi auto! This has the potential to be the leshiy 2 for us common folks.
