Just some info for ya. I'll have the prototype in my hands for a few weeks. I should have it by next Friday. I have a nice bunch of bullets to try. Weights ranging from 100grns to 160grn. Inova has been using my bullets with great success and they say they are super accurate. I'll check in with photos and full report as soon as I get the gun from Tim. I did meet with Tim Smith and the owners of inova 2 weeks ago so they could show me the gun. Its an awesome airgun for sure the weight feels good. Action is smooth. Very well built gun

RJ, you'll be a good one to give a full review with your experiance.

on a side note, do you cast .358 EPP/UG ?

Not yet Manny. Where can I find those molds..

However brilliant the design and well executed the manufacture and marketing, it is hard to fight the physics of a dump valve design.... They can be efficient at low power levels, but the amount of air used to produce the kind of power levels most of us seem to want in larger calibers, when you blow a large quantity of it out the muzzle after the bullet has left, simply can't be avoided.... There is a reason that the .35 cal version is in the 100-125 FPE power range while operating at 300 bar.... and less at lower pressures....

Bob, you are certainly correct about the efficiency and physics of the dump valve but due the unique design that doesn't rely on a conventional reservoir, efficiency is a secondary concern. I guess if you are are hand pumping hundreds of cartridges, efficiency may be of higher importance.

Its is a neat design and concept, I'm sure It calls to may shooters and collectors that are intrigued by the unusual. Like all designs it is bound both physical and logical limits. I see the MAC system as pellet shooting platform and don't see slugs as great performers due the limits of the cartridge volume and physical size.

The cool factor is very high and new and unusual technology definitely add value to the air gunning community. I hope they do well.

Tom, I agree that the efficiency is a minor concern for how the gun is likely to be used.... I was more pointing out the power limitations which are governed by the relationship of the cartridge to barrel volume ratio.... Most of the comments in this thread were "I wish it had more power", and I was trying to address the reality of that.... I also wish them the best of luck....

Sorry guys been busy and not shooting as much as I would like. The gun is awesome. I do still have it. It is a super accurate gun at 125fpe. It uses very little air. I've charged 25 times and the guage pressure dropped 100psi. The action is super smooth no jams no stuck cartridges. Valves are easy to rebuild if need be. A novice could do it in 5min or less. It loves jsbs and my cast bullets under 135grns. It has a match grade barrel. The gun is built with super tight tolerances. Anything I missed just ask.

I have my ears tuned to hear what a .257 will do!

Numbers would be a lot lower on .257. Smaller the projectile the less surface area to push on.

125 fpe with 135 gr is only 646 fps.

So, is this company making any guns??

dcorvino · « **Reply #76 on:** October 22, 2014, 10:33:51 PM »

Was wondering if they have any for sale yet as well.
If they do I wlll increase my contribution to my toy fund.

Sub MOA at an actual 100 yards? Actual chrony numbers from 10 or so shells (filled to what psi) would be nice.

ditto.

Just a brief update for everyone.

We have had a few delays with production so it looks like we will be launching the MAC35 in June 2014 now. Meanwhile we have been busy with several other designs (listed below), new videos on YouTube and Facebook.
Please subscribe and "like" to stay in touch with us.

Currently on the "Design Board":

MAC35P
Everything the MAC35 has to offer, but in a pistol!!
Giving you real hunting firepower from a pistol. 12" stainless shrouded barrel in 0.357 (9mm) calibre launches 105gr bullets at unheard of before velocities. Expected to be launched late 2014 the MAC35P will become the new standard in real air pistol firepower

MAC25R
Introducing the mini MAC as a revolver!!
Please check in regularly for updates on the progress of this exciting new platform expected to be launched 2014

MAC35SPORT
A traditional style hunting rifle. Chambering the MAC35 9mm .357 cal cartridge with a wooden or synthetic stock
Please check in regularly for updates on the progress of this exciting new platform expected to be launched 2014

MAC41S
Everything the MAC35 has to offer, but in a shotgun!!
Expected to be launched late 2014
Please check in regularly for updates on the progress of this exciting new platform

MAC30
The rifle platform in .30 calibre (7.62mm)

MAC25
The rifle platform in .250 calibre (6.35mm)

MAC35 with 5 shot magazine
Expected to be launched late 2014

MAC35 Rotary magazine
Expected to be launched late 2014

Will the MAC30 also be available with a 5 shot magazine or rotary magazine? When is the expected release date for the MAC30? Also, any guestimated statistics as far as performance goes with the MAC30 in any particular grain/s? Will a threaded muzzle be an option for those that would rather attach a threaded LDC?

Thanks,

AGW.
