I hope I have the opportunity to talk one on one with Miss Victoria. I appreciate the company model and after seeing the quality machining of the Mono Block itself and the much improved trigger assembly, This design has great possibilities. Just a little tweaking as is needed in any new product.Oh, and fire the lathe operator and NEVER-Ever let him touch a lathe or barrel again. "EVER"!!! ( My Poor attempt at humor). I can see the need for the poppet pin's enormous size, ,as it is stuck in an offside position. (which I freely admit have never found or seen before and allows a much larger air pressure tube without having to rely on a very tall Mono Block,, (Rather forward thinking)!However, narrowing the pin shaft only inside the in the valve body itself will eliminate the loss of air volume in the chamber of the valve body and greatly improve performance. The actual shaft dia, leading into the rear of the valve can be and should remain beefy as it will give longevity to the design. Particularly in higher power applications. A Hybrid if you will. Man, I wish this old Texas could work things better. GRRRRR! Cattleman. The name kinda warms the heart of an old Texan. Kinda feels like home.I plan to install a new barrel that I have here. (custom barrel) Tonight and see what this Gal can really do!I do not agree with the accusations of using patriotic and Veteran remarks by the company as a scam at all. Not n the least. Seems to me, Miss Victoria is proud of her family's contributions to our Country. I would very much like to see such unfounded speculations kept to oneself as there are NO proof any such thing is happening. I hate that nowadays everything is looked at in a negative way. Glass is half full way. It is not what I remember of the American Spirit! Knife
I have now talked at length with Miss Victoria, and we have reached an agreement. I am to really go over the gun with a fine toothed comb, an gives both my findings and give assistance as to what can be done to make the new guns as premium as possible and perform above their price range. I am already on it. Yep, the barrel is a fluke. A replacement barrel is on the way. We want this gun in prime shape and ready for the auction here. There is also a well known Mechanical Engineer that tunes AG's that will be working with me to really bring these offerings into fine and worthwhile AG's t be proud of.He wishes to be anonymous for the time being, and I respect that. I have known and been friends with him for many years across several forums and is very well resected. Sooooo--- Woo-Hoo!!! It's ON! When the new owner receives this gun, it will be a custom, one of a kind at least until the improvements can be made in the entire line. Now hows that!Knife
