AirForce Texan LSS, Carbon-Fiber Tank

warning- too much fun- buy swaggered slugs not cast.

Pros
in answer to the lefty question, i am left handed and have no problem shooting this rifle, most leftys can adapt to almost right handed guns

Cons
no good way to use a shoulder strap

The rifle performed well but was a little louder than I expected but still not offensive to my ears. It sounds like a stout pneumatic nailer. Neighbors wouldnt suspect the noise in the area I live (rural). I adapted a quality bipod and have no issues with it. I spent the money on a quality scope and it is well matched to the rifle. I have four different pellet types and will be doing more accuracy tests. I spent the money on the external carbon fiber tank and found it to be worth the money. I also purchased a compressor. Overall I am satisfied with the purchase and have recommended it to friends more than once. In hindsight, with the total amount of money spent for what all I got, I would do it again without hesitation.

Pros
Well built throughout most of the rifle, exceeding my expectations. The power is impressive and accuracy met my hopes, with more accuracy tests coming with other pellets. I went through this gun as thoroughly as I could and believe it will be reliable over time. The ability to add the external tank easily is a plus.

Cons
The 11mm rails are archaic. They should be standard picatinny rail. The buttstock is under-thought and the rubber pad is literally a sticker that peels off easily. The suppressor is appreciated but it is poor technology. It could be easily improved without a big bump to the manufacturing cost. Its not as effective as it could be for the amount of space it occupies. The rubber stop on the cocking lever popped off before the first use and should have a better adhesive.

Pros
I was never able to actually operate the rifle so can not give any pros.

Cons
This is the first time I have ever given any product this poor of a review. I am sure there are many individuals who have received their Texan and are very happy with the performance. First of all, I had to wait several months of this item being on backorder. I am okay with this but expect a quality product to be delivered. I received a faulty air rifle and had to send it back to the factory. To make a long story short, they have had the rifle for more than 7 weeks and just now informed me that they are waiting on a part to fix it and it will be at least an additional two weeks just for the part to come in. They have been hard to contact throughout this process and have basically just told me they won't have it done anytime soon and to just deal with it. I contacted Airgun Depot to see if there was anything they could do and they said tough luck because I sent it to the manufacturer. I hope any who decide to buy have a better experience than I have had.

Does anyone know what grain slug airforce base the fps fpe numbers from.

Pros
Very powerful

Cons
More shots per fill

If you want a very accurate and powerful big bore then go for it!!

Pros
Awesome gun with awesome power!! Very long but extremely quiet. Very good for hunting medium to large game. If you want a high quality rifle that has tons of power buy one. Also Airforce is an awesome company with the best customer service!! Also people complain about the 11mm dovetail rail but they sale scope rings to fit it at Wal-Mart or any other local sporting good store where I'm at.

Cons
Nothing!! Awesome gun!!

This is my very first PCP Airgun. What a absolute powerhouse, HOLY MOLY. I couldn't be happier with it, the quietness, an extremely high FPE. Make it perfect for my hunting of coyotes, deer,elk, Javelina, an big hogs. At 100yrd I'm shooting through a 4x6,( the 6in side) with Mr. Hollowpoints 385gr. It's absolutely amazing, never ever thought I would have a pellet gun with this much power. Definitely getting the regular Texan next.

Pros
WHEW!!! The quietness...... an the POWER. GEEZ LAA WEEZ

Cons
little bit heavy on the front end.

Keep in mind the both Air Force and airgun depot are experiencing extremely high volumes of calls. Be patient and if they don’t answer try again a few hours later and eventually you will find somebody to talk to. I look forward to ordering more air guns from airgun depot.

Pros
Absolutely incredible gun.

Cons
To those hearing a rattling in the tank: make sure you contact Air Force they will graciously send you a kit to rebuild your bottle. My gun arrived with a defect in which I could hear a rattling sound inside my rifle coming from the air tank. I called up Air Force and finally I got a hold of them they are extremely busy. They told me that what happens is there’s a piece the brakes off from the valve and starts rattling inside the bottle. The representative that I spoke with was extremely friendly and helpful and she told me exactly what was going on with the gun and she is currently sending me the kit to repair this defect. So please don’t get upset if you have a faulty valve Air Force is more than happy to replace it at no charge and within record time. Airgun depot was very helpful when I was unable to get in touch with Air Force right away. I have total confidence that this problem will be solved. Unfortunate events but very happy with the purchase.

The silencer can always be removed to shorten the rifle when using in thickly wooded areas.

Pros
This thing is a monster! This gun is very accurate and has ton of power shooting just about any .45 bullet. I would highly recommend this rifle for hunting large game where power is a must.

Cons
This gun is a bit heavy when loaded up with a scope and bipod but totally worth it in my opinion. Its also a little on the long side so probably not the best version of this gun for a shorter person.

The AirForce Texan LSS, Carbon-Fiber Tank, is quite top heavy. It does balance at the center, however do to it's long length, it forces me to hold the rifle with my elbow against my pants belt, while my hand supports the hand guard. Or, carry a shooting stick to stabilize the shot. Shooting from a table, should be a pleasing experience. since the whole gun can be supporter with cushions, etc..

Pros
Haven't had the chance to shoot is yet. Missing parts.

Cons
The 11mm rail. This rail presents additional problems and high expense(s). Hard to find adapters to make it easy to mount a scope. If the rail were picatinny rail. it would be easy right off the bat to mount a scope, without having to buy additional hardware to complete the task, and extra money needed. With the cost of this rifle, a little effort to make the purchaser's life easier, would be highly appreciated. Difficult to find information. Available parts for accessories, and maintenance not found. Where do we go for further parts and accessories?

This will be my first review on my first PCP Airgun. This thing is a beast with tons of power. That being said there are a few complaints. The new carbon fiber tank is stamped max 3626 psi. The gauge as you can see in the picture goes in the Red at 3000 psi. Not a deal breaker but it would have been nice for the money I spent for a 3500 mark. Now I have read the complaints on the 11mm rail on other Texan reviews and I would have to agree. I bought Tri Rail scope base from AirForce and mounted my thermal scope to become a coyote hunting machine. The biggest compliant is the noise. My buddy has a Texan with the DonnyFL emperor silencer attached and it is supper quiet. He has the older version .457 with no new valve or carbon tank so maybe I shouldn’t complain.

Pros
Tons of power.

Cons
Not as quite as I wanted but not bad.
