Happy Easter!
Today it is my special pleasure to announce a superior new PCP is about to be released. This is the one we have been waiting for. It combines all the features you have asked for.
It has the following features:
° Figured walnut stock
° 1000cc air reservoir
° 100+ shots on a 2000 psi fill
° Regulated to less than 5 f.p.s. in the power band
° 28 foot pounds in .177 and 45 foot-pounds in .25. Also going to be available in a new 7mm caliber for pointed bullets developing 100 foot pounds.
° Lothar Walther barrel
° Built-in air pump fills the gun with 50 strokes
° Weighs under 6 pounds
° Sale price of under $250
The manufacturer tells me they are getting 5-shot groups of less than an inch at 100 yards. They also mentioned that I should look at the calendar!

After my first online April fools of the day I immediately wondered, “It is a Sunday, Easter Sunday in fact. Will BB do his April fools joke?”
NOPE! But he did announce a great new air rifle 😉
B.B.,
What,… no pics? Cheek riser? Repeater? Match trigger? Shrouded? Too heavy,… I prefer 5# 11 1/2oz. myself. 😉
Thanks for the show updates and continuing a April 1st tradition, on a Sunday no less!
May the Easter Bunny visit one and all,…. Chris
Sounds good, but come on…$250! Why so expensive? Thanks, B.B., always look forward to your “special reports”.
Jim.
B.B.,
When the manufacturer told you to look at the calendar did he say which April 1st of what year they were delivering?
Thanks for upholding the tradition! Happy Easter!

Come one and all !!
You got me…… until I got to the $250 price line…. at that point it dawned on me… lol….
Happy Easter!
B.B.
If such an airgun were to exist, it would surely have to be delivered by the Easter Bunny.
Or, if it coming out later this fall, maybe Santa Claus will make the delivery. 😀
Have a happy and blessed Easter!
May God continue to blessl

I was wondering if you was going to do a report today.
Happy Easter everyone.
B.B.& All
Happy Easter and April fools
Just got the email the P.A. M.O.A calendar is available and guess who’s on the cover well it’s B.B. of course.

Somebody is going to be happy with this one.

Thanks for the link! I would have preferred a more feminine theme but I couldn’t think of an airgun related acronym either.
Carl,
Who cares about acronyms, bring on the babes!
GF1,
OMG! This is obviously aimed at the wives’,… of the husbands that shoot! Actually,.. with their “permission”,.. PA might sell quite a bit more air guns?
I am going to have to go with Coduece’s opinion though. 😉 Just sayin’.
Chris
Why just the wife’s. I’m sure there are single women out there that would be happy to own this calendar.
😉 Just say’n too.
He forgot to mention that it will be American made ! I only found this out when I went to order one. I should be getting the first one off the line.
Eat your hearts out. 🙂

You know there is a .22 caliber version if you look hard enough.
What caliber did you choose. Next question. Why?
Happy Easter and also Happy Passover for our Old Testament plinkers!
Nice April Fool’s gun but I would also need mirror polished metal and Lux Ultra Deep Bluing
Biathlon Nationals finished up at Soldier Hollow yesterday; on a ribbon of the last of the snow!
My very best wishes for outstanding health and groups to all.
And, may you all reap the blessings of God through the year.

Not this time. I still remember you getting me good with the PA .25 break barrel (or was it an even bigger cal) that was lite, easy cocking, not hold sensitive and cheap LOL…you sly old dog.
Doc
BB
What? No selection lever for full auto/semi auto?
Happy Easter to you and all readers.
Decksniper
Sorry, $250is too much. Has to be less than $100. Does it do well with the bacon flavored pellets? They would work well with Easter bun..,er, rabbit.
B.B.
You left out the best parts about the Pre-Charge Pneumatic hook-up using ANY Carburetor-equipped Diesel engine.
Brilliant.
I don’t understand why nobody ever thought of it before.
And the absolutely guaranteed delivery date of June 31st, this or any other year…
A Double-Whamy move, sure to go down in legendary marketing lore…
I guess I was had but the first thing I thought of when I read the topic was “Wow, another article on the American Tactical Nova Freedom PCP”
BB:
I showed Mrs. Qwerty this blog. Her response was “I guess you want another one.” She never caught the date.
I told her I wanted to try it at the Texas Air Gun Show first. Not sure she is going to let me go this year. Guns just seem to follow me home.
Jim
The only negative is the 47.3# trigger…LOL
The calendar isn’t my style, but for the girly-guys out there I have good news:
It’s “hand-delivered.”
Don’t believe me, look at the shipping cost.
So I’m searching the internet for 1000 cc PCP products as I am fishing an idea together in my head. And of course, I wind up here..and pretty much only here.
Well done, BB, well done!
As an aside, have you ever encountered a PCP which used a tank in both its stalk and under its barrel?
Winterz,
Have a look at this: /blog/2018/03/hatsan-hercules-qe-45-caliber-big-bore-air-rifle-part-3/
Might this be what you were thinking?
Siraniko
Siraniko,
Thank you. You beat me to it.
B.B.
B.B.,
Just helping to lighten your work load.
Siraniko
its seems both Hatsan and Seneca have 1000 cc guns. not seeing regulation, and would imagine that’s harder to do . Thank you guys for replying 🙂
