AEA Zeus 72 Cal. Safety Issue

[@Valkron11]

I haven't pulled the trigger on mine with the safety engaged, yet. But I'll definitely remember this if and when I do. Thanks!

[@Forrealdeal4u]

Thanks for sharing. I just got the exact same model you have. I’ve been hearing about more people reporting on the same issue. Definitely a safety hazard. Thanks for sharing.

My .357 30" barrel done that. I had it on safety and pulled the trigger and would hear a click and then I tried taking the safety off and BAM!! the safety became the trigger. After that happened a few times, the hammer ended up wearing down the trigger sear and it would fire just from bumping it. Ruined my hunt in the stand. Scared the shiznit out of me. Glad I got it fixed by sending it to Bin Tac, but that should've never happened. Hope you get yours straightened out.

[@stacydavis9392]

That happened to me too. Bin replaced the hole upper so I haven't had any more issues. Thanks for sharing that's a good one.

Glad you are no one else was hurt and thank you for the info

[@AtmoTacOutdoors]

Thank you for being this to our attention. I have the .72 cal with the long barrel and that would be very scary to have a accidental discharge with that much FPE!

It was a high pucker factor moment.

[@roylandoslate2566]

Had this happen to me with the ZEUS

[@Malick_ibn_dinar]

Thank you sir

[@shawns2820]

Good on you for following safety rules, hopefully this is just a one off.

[@icelance3799]

Good find!

[@grantcorbitt9517]

I had no idea other people have had this issue

[@daneldwinbrooks8444]

Thanks great information

[@Cincymike1]

Yea that's sketchy. But if it uses the same ramp style sear as on the challenger they're pretty simple to sand or polish. Sounds like your safety is allowing the sear to move a bit. I would add some material to the safety were it meets the sear so it stays locked in place. When I pull the trigger on my challenger with the safety engaged it doesn't budge a bit.

Thanks for sharing

[@grantcorbitt9517]

It just dawned on me that I did the same thing. I pulled the trigger and realized I had the safety on and then went to take the safety off and it fired. I was almost embarrassed to tell anyone because I didn't know if I somehow pulled the trigger while trying to take the safety off. This has me wanting to just sell the gun. It's a cannon of a gun and very deadly, hopefully nobody gets killed by one

[@davidberkley839]

Yes think my AEA 30 did that once ?? But I'm always extra safe Might just be air but that slugs isn't playing coming out the barrel !!

[@grantcorbitt9517]

I have one and last deer season I had a deer in the cross hairs and when I took the safety off it discharged and of course the hunt was ruined . Also I could not decock it . I sent it back to the place I purchased it and they sent it back fixed but honestly I'm still a little scared of it

Quick question how has this been after a year any problems leaks gun going down liking the short barrel but hear a lot of issues with AEAs thanks

[@teamfinalsqueal3792]

@@brwngrld The rifle has been solid with no other issues. I like the short barrel as the rifle is so heavy even without it. Power is not a problem with the short barrel in my opinion as I only hunt deer with it.

[@richardjones2811]

You shouldn't really leave modern rifles cocked for a long period of time since the hammer springs these days are made from Chinesium metal and will warp under prolonged periods of pressure.

[@billypoynter6096]

If you recock the gun before releasing the safety will it still fire?

[@teamfinalsqueal3792]

No. If you recock you can disengage the safety with no issues.

[@grantcorbitt9517]

I have not even killed a deer with the zeus yet because after that i went back to using my hatsan 45 pile-driver while the zeus was being repaired. I want to kill one deer with the zeus and then ill sell . Has anyone had problems with any other brand of airgun or just aea? Also i have mentioned this happening to me on many KZbin videos comment section and until now its been complete silence from the people ive asked about having this problem. Almost like i shouldn't mention it anyway thanks so much for confirming irs not just me and im not crazy 😅

[@kerrynixon3968]

Or, take the safety off before you try to shoot😂

[@dosidos9944]

Ok I have a better one on my quackenbuch pistol you cock then the sear on the crossman pistol grip gets worn and fires indiscriminately until gone ,and another issue with Dan McReynolds rifle you load and cock same port ,after loading puling to cock just fires ,the problem there are two bolts that are slid over that are low and high power I only used high power so I slid over and over bolt wore out and fired upon cocking .No safety on either rifle .some one going to get hurt or worse be careful.I only use Air Force now 100 percent safe
