I just received mine yesterday (Feb 21 '14). I bought it used from AoA, though tit sells new ones again. Mine is the carbine, and looks brand new though the serial number is 00178. I'm still exploring it, as it was an impulse buy. My impressions so far are that it's very well built. Admittedly I'm waiting on a proper Foster adapter so I can fill the tank, but with what little air remained, the rifle demonstrated very good accuracy in my limited basement shooting distance of 27 feet. That's not a lot, but I have other rifles that didn't make such a tiny 5-shot hole. It's a BSA barrel. I got that from the company owner who is very gracious in answering my emails.  I continue to scour the web for info. That's how I found this page! LOL!! anyway, back to the rifle. The magazine is very good. Just be sure to use a little bit of care that the pellets are seated below the outer frames of the mag. Using the cocking lever is pretty cool too, and definitely a breath of fresh air from the standard bolt or side lever (if you like something a bit different from the norm). With the tank in the butt, it does shift the weight to the rear, but that's in no way a game breaker. The trigger could be a bit lighter, but it's pretty good too, and will not negatively affect accuracy so far as I could tell. I normally mount bipods on my rifles, but I think this one will have to shoot from a bag. The walnut 2-piece stock is of a good grade, but the rifle does look a bit the utilitarian hunter's rifle. Certainly it could pass for a firearm more readily than an airgun with a tank hanging out there.  As a non-Fac rifle it will dispatch small game from inside 30 yards, imo. I have already asked for info on a FAC (30 FPE) version. I really like what I've seen so far.

Is it just me, or is this the quietest AG in the world??? I can't even hear the report- just the zip of the pellet through the air...

While I think from the UK it would be accurate and a well made PCP I just don't care too much for a western styled action in the airgun world.  That is why I think I never purchased certain PCP's that are styled after them even with great reviews.

I am so happy that Shin Sung is back at AOA and they now offer the Infinity in a 9mm!

Good luck to those who buy this and I am sure it will be a nice rifle.............just don't like the style of it myself.

I spoke with Parker Hale about bringing in the FAC version. aoa said they would not which wa a real bummer.
Title: I made a little video of mine
Post by: darryl on February 23, 2014, 10:08:26 PM
It's just a simple introduction-type video. I don't have a very good camera, but you should be able to get a good idea of the rifle. My intital impression is it's a very well built rifle; promising very good accuracy based on my limited time shooting it in my basement. Plus,  it's very quiet (even in doors). I think it will be the perfect backyard-friendly rifle, even in a close environment of city home lot sizes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBNYs3ZY4KE&feature=c4-overview&list=UUmHKFDV9-HJAvBm4KWpQBnw# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBNYs3ZY4KE&feature=c4-overview&list=UUmHKFDV9-HJAvBm4KWpQBnw#)

Looks like a great gun, even though its lever action I don't think they were going for the western look. Somehow it just seems functional and appears to work great. Large moderator?

I watched the first video and I thought he said it was rated at 12 ft.lbs. of energy?  Get that power up and make a Winchester 1892 version,and I would take another look!!.  Now....I'm still waiting for somebody to introduce a twin break barrel version....like a shotgun... twin .22 barrels on Co2 or PCP!
