Here we go again ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I haven't even heard of a new release date, I did contact umarex about bore size ,was informed it will require .510 dia slugs, got my mold ,now just need a hammer
-
PA still has my money from preorder, now that I have a slayer I think I'll use that money on a scope or something else. You snooze you loose Umarex
-
It clearly gets it done.

Seems the only Hammers out there are busy killing stuff, they must not think we believe it can even go through one side of a tin can ::) ::) ::)
-
I have .510 swage dies that shoot good in the gun for those that need slugs for it.

I hear ya Ronald, just canceled my order after a year or so, put the money toward a different use.

AAO will be making all the 50 cal bullet and pellet molds we currently make available in .510 from 174 grain all the way up to 633 grain Also HP molds
-
Accurate molds has a catalog full of molds. He will make what ever you want if you stay within his requirements. Also you can alter any of his mold drawing as long as you don't go under .180" on the nose.
-
I'm still waiting.. didn't put in any pre-order or anything... Hopefully it'll be released before the end of summer...
-
I wonder if they are having issues with reliability? They have many proto types in the field. There injection molds for the stocks are ready. There barrels must
be ready, & the rest. With them to continue setting the release date back, then there must be a problem with reliability at this point.
Fly ::)
-
I bet it is a patent infringement issue and it wont be out if it will be out, until it's settled or lost and no hammer.
Not many type valves out there that fit in the space they have in the frame, and lots of patents already out there.
It's just my guess on the matter, Umarex has too much experience on manufacturing to have quality issues this late in the production.

The use of the name hammer maybe complicating things . Hahahahaha
-
I have lots of Hammers. None are Umarex because mine are commonly "AVAILABLE" to non YouTube personalities!!! :P
I can say that the projected dealer cost of the Umarex keeps rising and therefore the MAP price rises as well (currently at $800)!

Dear Umarex,
I got tired of waiting and bought a Texan .45 instead. 8)

From what I understand, the one model available to someone other than American Airgunner went to a Mr. Sas Quatch. I found him asleep in the woods with the Hammer propped up against a tree next to him. As I made my approach quietly trying to command the elusive Hammer, a beam of light came shining down, lifting Sas and the Hammer up into a sky vessel. Upon returning a minute later (Sas swears it was months) he was quite upset due to the fact that not only was he thoroughly probed, but the sky creatures kept his Hammer. I was able to keep him calm with some beef jerky and assured him, “Mr. Quatch, one day that Hammer will return.” He answered, “I’ll believe it when I see it. Hey, this jerky’s pretty good!”

I told the Umarex rep this over a year ago at the NRA convention (except I bought a Sam Yang) and he just proceeded to tell me how the Hammer was so much better than the junk gun that I bought. I asked him how it could be better when it doesn't even exist?

Good point you made (and the above mentioned Yeti comment was classic!). Better for who? Not the general air gun buying public. If AEA gets their products to the same public soon I’ve got a feeling you’ll see little to no interest in the Hammer and a lot of skeptical people losing interest in future announced “project big bore guns” by Umarex. It doesn’t bode well when people tend to refer to any non released, sounds too good to be true air rifle as “the next Hammer”.

I don't watch AA anymore because of the hammer.
-
Talked to Rep today and just asked if the Hammer would drop by Nov and he said "There was still a few testing issues going on " soooooooo.....ughhhh
-
Testing issues? Might be the fact that they have a carbon tank that has no DOT. They were trying to claim it's under 2" ID and non removable and doesn't need to be tested.
I think the tank has been the issue

It did seem like every episode last season was about it. This season the first 2 episodes were better, will wait and see how it goes.
-
Sounds about right.

Remember when Crosman was gonna roll out the TX clone and it didn’t happen? Dejavu, folks....
