I built a custom Avenger .25 Bullpup that I able to give to a Marine Corps veteran and his young son to enjoy. The Bullpup was very reliable and easy to carry. Very good shot groups.

[@AESwede]

Richard, thats very cool. That will be a great thing to bond a father and son. Very cool. Keep up the good work.

[@Nathanpettit22]

Ill be buying your sidewinder mag for my .22 very soon! Cant wait! Great shooting brother!

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Great job! I like the way they look and love the way they shoot!

[@aaronswede5366]

These are definitely great and capable airguns and with a few upgrades can be a pretty amazing. .

My 177cal Avenger almost made me get rid of everything else. It's just that good. 33ft pounds easy with 16.2gr Beast. Nielsen 12.5 slugs excellent at 880fps. I love my BSAR10 SE 177cal. But there's no denying the great value of the Avenger. I usually keep it tuned for high shot count with 10.5gr Crossman ultra mags at 850fps or so. Well over 100 shots per fill. Very accurate and cheap pellets. I'll be buying some of your products. Liked and subscribed. ❤🎯

[@AESwede]

I think the .177 is a under appreciated caliber especially when you can shoot the 16 grain beast's. They are amazing pellets for hunting birds. My friend and I where at a dairy yesterday and my longest shot with my Avenger .177 bullpup was 117 yds on a collared dove. Amazing. Were were popping house sparrows at 70 yds like nothing. I have mine tuned to 30 ft pds and and I changed the bottom short tube for an additional long tube. I am getting 80+ shots per fill that way. I have an FX Wildcat MK3 and I go for my Avenger first. The Wildcat is better at longer shots of 100 yds + but anything inside that is soundly Avenger .177 territory. With my AE Swede 44 shot magazine and the AE Swede trigger sear tuner it has a better trigger than the FX and way more shots before I need to reload.

What FPS you run the beast at? Edit 950 is about 33 FPE .. wow that’s quick. What reg pressure you running to get that speed? And the Nsa’s are those .177 or .178’s?

[@heithwatkins]

@@Jeeper1378 Nielsen 178-HS-HP-DB 12.5 I only shot the 16.2gr Beast pellets once with the reg at 2,800psi and HST max. I was just trying to see how strong it was. It was actually around 32.6ft pounds as I recall but I still had another 200psi left before the reg was maxed out at 3000psi. I didn't go to 3000psi just to be safe incase I had reg creep, or the pressure increased because of heat. But I wouldn't be afraid to go 3000psi if I were immediately shooting the rifle and not transporting it to another location. It may not matter either way. I wasn't sure and didn't want to cause problems if the reg creeps to 3,200psi. I shot the 12.5 Nielsen at the same settings as the 16.2gr Beast. The Nielsen slugs went 1,005fps. However they were not accurate until I adjusted the HST to give about 880fps. This is still with the reg at 2,800psi. The HST was set 2.5 turns from the lowest setting.

@@heithwatkins awesome ty

[@Jeeper1378]

@@heithwatkins is there a max on these regs ? And i don’t think its the number per se, reg over time allowing 3000+ fills, it may give out. I saw one youtuber that was testing his AVenge x at a higher setting (forget) and it did go bad. Received a new reg and it did fine after.

[@wendellscott861]

I have noticed, seems like the regulator recovery time is faster for my Avenger. I'm loving that! I will get another adapter kit for my 25 when I get around to it.

[@AESwede]

I'm glad you have found the dual reg/tank adapter kit to be of good service. Keep up the good work.

[@KINGBREAKBARREL]

Looking nice air venturi avenger .. I also purchased stock purchased it on eBay but still have not switched the action over that stock makes that rifle look fire 🔥

[@aaronswede5366]

They do look awesome with the tactical stocks on them.

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Awesome 👌 man they look great and shoot accurate 👌great job on the build 👍thanks for sharing bsafe buddy 👍

[@aaronswede5366]

Thanks very much Chris!

[@cc23001]

Awesome, didn't realize you had a channel. Well, got my refurb .25 at 73fpe+ with port work and it's becoming clear I need more air and ammo capacity lol. Tank reg (fixed 3k output) got here early. Now I'm behind the ball on getting the adapter! I'd be interested to see a lw barrel conversion for sure

[@AESwede]

Thanks for the comment! You can get a .7 liter bottle now and that will help with air capacity. That's what I put on my .25 Impact. 73fpe is healthy for sure. I have a LW polygon barrel in the works for my .25 Just gotta finish the port and oring channels and it's ready. Should be prefect for slugs.

[@BriceP.O.I.]

Hello Aaron, I was hoping you could post the name and part number of the supply shutoff valve that you use for your Avenger air bottles. It would be a big help to those who are attempting to follow in your footsteps. Thanks for your help to us Avenger fans, and of course, your great videos.

[@AESwede]

Hey Brice, I don't use a supply shutoff valve on the bottle. I use a first in line pressure regulator. this lowers the pressure the stock reg see's down to around 3,000 PSI which relieves some the wear and tear on the stock reg and also helps in keeping the speed of each shot more closely in check.

[@AESwede]

I have regulators in stock now that are set to 3,000 PSI.

[@5150santana]

Do the sidewinder mags work with stock avenger? I have the.25

[@andrewavellino6427]

Sweet setups. Gotta love the $350 worry free tinkering with the avenger. Can I ask what bottle conversion kit did you use for the .25

[@aaronswede5366]

I used my own AE Swede bottle conversion/dual regulator setup on my .25 I am going to convert it to a night hunting rig that shoots pellets. There are lots of raccoons at the dairy's around here.

[@Jeeper1378]

Just bought 2 of each of your HC mags for my AVx in each caliber. Are super size mags be available again edit sht realized just the 177 is out… need to jump on the 25.

[@MrTyroneweaver]

Do you make and sell power plenums for the air venturi's?

[@aaronswede5366]

I have not sold them yet. I need to as I if have a lot of people ask about them. Maybe an upcoming item.

[@georgewolkoff1349]

cant find that mag for my .25 avenger anywhere.who carries it

[@wendellscott861]

I like your bottle and stock replacement on the Avenger 25. Do you have your bottle regulator set to 3000 psi output? I have your Regulator adapter kit for my 22 Avengers and a 3000psi output reg. for a 480cc bottle.

[@AESwede]

Hey Wendell, I remember your order. If you have issues with the orings on that adapter setup let me know. I have updated orings that are a much better fit. I do have my bottle reg set at 3000PSI but the lower you can set your bottle reg pressure the longer the stock regulator will last.

[@wendellscott861]

@@AESwede I did have a problem with the o rings.

[@AESwede]

@@wendellscott861 I will get the updated orings sent out to you.
