Finally a 19.4" barrel 

I'd be willing to bet money they have that one listed wrong too,lol.  I'm sure it is the 17" barrel on there, given it is the exact same length overall.

Those AEA guns look really cool, but that trigger would be a certain deal breaker for me.  Hopefully, they'll get more guns in the market and all the little bugs worked out etc. !

Still waiting on the CF tube. Was suppose to be here yesterday. And with the snow and ice today, not sure if it will arrive today either. So the shroud is still on hold. The cheek riser screws stripped out of the breech block.  I did drill out the breech block holes and retapped it with larger screws. The cheep Hatsan screws didn’t strip out like they did on my Bully. Instead the block stripped out. Easy enough fix.

At least you got that cheek riser situation straightened out

The side lever action. Must be one heavy side lever, though, as it says the weight has ballooned from 7 to 11 lbs. Let's hope that is a typo. And it still needs the aluminum tube.

They have it listed as 6.2lbs/19.4 barrel …. its more likely 7lbs as stated on pyramyds site with the regular bolt action ,with 17.7 barrel   ...  I wonder when the side lever will be available ?  it should be soon next month ? as they have now listed it ….

I just bought the Hatsan Vectis under lever composite gun from Hatsan usa{$260 shipped refurb} , weighed by Steve {AEAC you tube} at 6.8lbs ,and that it has the best trigger when adjusted right of any Hatsan that he has shot with its new composite trigger ….so when I get it in I will  have to check it all out. I did not buy the gun for looks.... more  for utility if you drop it in the woods you wont hurt it ...

First of all, it's a Hatsan, so dropping it in the woods won't make any of our guns look any worse,lol.  Hatsans aren't known for their looks after all   I must admit, some of the wood stocked guns did come with good looking wood. I haven't had any issues getting the triggers on the regular or BP Flashes adjusted to my liking.  I have seen a few people that had issues, but I don't know how much adjusting they did.  I just adjust the rear most screw, until I get the pull weight light enough, and leave at that.  I do appreciate a good trigger, but I'm certainly not a trigger snob.  As long as it is predictable and around 2lbs, I'm happy.

Come on now don't blow my cover for buying this gun !  HA ! HA ! but really the barrel on the Vectis is even covered with polymer which would help in drops or the Washougal river area rain down pores !  ….

my at44 long wood does have a nice stock perfect shape ,and I do have some really nice finished Richards microfit stocks + boyds stocks on other guns …

plus I live in a rain forest ,and I do have gortex custom gun covers + military issue camo water proof for my body that works the best we have tested in down poor conditions in Washougal river  mt area  where it rains like crazy ! 100 to 140 inches a year , its loaded with animals you just about trip on them up there , so the Vectis would be a good pic for these conditions …   

these are just some of my top reasons from my library of anti dog house reasons /excuses for the wife to buy another airgun that i really don't need ! = vectis ... 

but i must have it ! ....

Hahaha, I'm not judging  

[Dan H]

Hahaha, I'm not judging

  Cool ..  ..I was starting to feel guilty on all counts …. …. I was just looking at the new side lever on the SFP ,and it kinda looks like the neutronstar  side lever,  like the same thing ... ...

…...and somethin else there is a new Hatsan 3 caliber interchangeable barrel system gun now listed called the Hydra qe very interesting

…., and also another ne gun  called the Blitz , its semi, and full automatic up to .30 cal with a rather large clip 17 or 18 shots I think ….Yeah I know I got use for that one … The squirrels ,and the rest of the critters on the mt would be scared of that one ….  

[RedDirtDog]

Woah, Sidelever? Glad I waited on getting a pup, I wonder if it'll be optional for the wood flashpup also? I was leaning wood until this.

I was able to find the Hydra, but not the Blitz.  I looks like Hatsan has figured out that they got something right with the Flash based guns.  That whole action is just great in it's simplicity, which I love as a tinkerer

I love a side lever, but I gotta say, I don't find myself really wanting it for the Flashpups.  Now that I'm used to it, I don't have any issue cocking the bolt.  I just put my thumb behind the cheek rest, and cock it with my index finger in one motion.  I don't use any arm strength at all doing it.  When I'm shooting rested, I don't even have to move my head or hold.  I just lift up my hand, cock it, and shoot again without even taking my eye off the target. 

On another note, I decided I'm going to give my 24" FX liner derived barrel another chance with slugs.  I went ahead and tensioned it with CF, and it is dang solid movement wise.  Also, it doesn't look as wonky with that long barrel, since the 20mm CF tube is on there.  Hopefully, I can get around to some more testing in a few days when it warms up and isn't raining.  It is currently wearing a 15 shot power tune shooting the 27 grain H&N slugs at 956 fps all within 3%   That longer barrel really extends the shot count on the higher power tunes.  I'm quite sure it can do a 20 shot 50 fpe tune, if I want.  That is pretty nuts for a .22 with a 165cc air cylinder 

[Rallyshark]

Here's a picture of the "wonky" looking 24" barrel o death mounted on the SFP    It may look funny, but man does it pack a wallop!  I will follow up with a re-testing of this barrel, now that it is tensioned.

WOW !  that's clean ...slick looking set up …. I like it …. compact extended high power sniper barrel set up ,I zoomed in on it looks like it came that way from the factory …. nice job Donny .   

[Rallyshark]

Thanks Dan!  The black derlin bushings on each end of the CF tube really do clean up the look.  You wouldn't know it, but that was a glossy CF tube.  I didn't want glossy on a hunter, so I sanded it and got rid of the gloss.  It is more of a matte/satin tube now,lol.  The real factor is going to be how it shoots.  This barrel does great with the JSB Beasts and redesigned Monsters, but I couldn't get it to do well before with slugs.  It wasn't tensioned nor as stiff when I tested it before, so I'm hoping this barrel may do better with some slugs now. 

It is making power so easily, it would be a shame if I couldn't take advantage of slugs with that power.  A 20 shot 50 fpe slug tune sure would be sweet out of it.  A 60+fpe magazine's worth tune o devastation would be pretty awesome for tough critters as well.  The gun has the power to do both those tunes with heavy pellets, but I really want to be able to do that with slugs...

Finely got the 20/14 mm CF tube today. I cut it to fit the .25 without using the bushings. I found that cutting a belt sander sandpaper belt open and then cutting it in two longways worked good to open the tube. It slides on tight. But fits great on the barrel and in the barrel band. I sited the pup in at 35 yards. Had to drop it down about 6”. One ragged hole and I am set to take it squirrel hunting Saturday. I still have the other half of the tube to install on the .22.  Thanks for all the ideas!

Awesome!  It looks like a great compact hunter with that Sumo(I'm guessing it is a Sumo) on there, nice work   The tree rats should be worried, haha.

20 shots at 50 FPE is incredible!

That wood flashpup is looking good with the carbon shroud and large LDC.

I just finish a 50mm LDC with baffles, nothing beats volume.
