Chuffin Air Arms.... Pffff

I am not a happy bunny. 

1150 sheets of my hard earned on my Ultimate and it's been back with them for what seems like ages. 

Turns out it's in bits waiting on a new valve. Which apparently they do make, so they are waiting on their own production. Now, for a quality manufacturer, this concerns me, as I know a bit about this, and this means they don't make enough spare, which means what they have made recently as either been way to low or theyve had more failures than expected recently and therefore are out of stock. 

My question is, had I have gone to a major reseller would that have just sent me a new one? I like to support my local RFD and several noted others I get along with, as I have to admit most of em, by definition, I don't actually like talking to lol..... But if I'd have gone for a box shifter would they have just swapped it out... I'm gonna ask...

I should qualify this by saying that someone at AA is on a leave that's very well deserved, that they haven't exceeded their production capacity. As there is a clear shortage of Rifles coming from them. 

I'll reserve judgement overall on how long this actually takes.

I don't think for one second a box shifter will simply change for a new gun, the service you get is proberbly better from your local rfd.

Nice to know Tony's putting his money where is mouth is. I've listen to Mr Belas very publicly talk about how many versions of electronic trigger they are on, must be 8 or more now cos it was 7 ages ago. And.... Well imagine being someone with the first or second version and it costing that much. 

Fingers crossed air arms come through for me...
