hi everyone. ive seen a non screeen, but electronic version of the daystate airwolf in a local shop. i know theyre an older rifle now, would you buy one if the money was right? if not, why not....
thanks
 
I have two airwolfs ( MCT and mvt).
Both shoot spot on, both do not leak now.
I did fix the mvt myself,it was the valve that released the air to fire the pellet.
I took it out and lapped it into the sealing ring.
I used some autosol as the compound.
I did the fix about 5 years ago it has been spot on.
I think the daystate rifle are very good ( if you like that sort of thing) the trouble is they are not perfect and do sometimes develop a leak or other problems ( but in my opinion if we don't have problems we don't learn)
If you like it and are happy with the price then but it and enjoy using it.
Cheers Maz.
 
Any old daystate bottle gun ie airwolf, air ranger must have the bottle and bottle adapter changed at 10 years old I believe it is as stated on the Daystate website for the bottle adapter. There has been a few that have gone bang! recently, including one posted on here not that long ago 👍

That's their best "get out" excuse yet! It's nothing to do with the age of the metal, I can assure you.

That’d do it!😁
I had a mate who had one: needing keys and to keep the battery charged is an extra embuggerance no one needs!😁

It’s all down to personal preference and personal experience in the end I suppose.
There’s many members on here that say just topping up a PCP is more of an embuggerance than they need in their lives.
I’ve never found it a pain to keep it charged. And if turned off with the key, the battery stays charged for months. I’ve never come close to running it out.
The Zulus on my Regal is more hassle to charge, and runs out far quicker.
We’ve all had a mate, or a mate of a mate, who’ve had a bad gun.
I guess that’s why no one buys Weihrauch spring powered air rifles anymore. Because they all gaul and eat themselves. 🤔

they are non regulated and with pressure going up when filled then pressure dropping down as you shoot down then refill back up, the weak points get fatigued, not bothering with this discussion again its been done before, but its highly advisable to renew them. They are old guns now 👍
 
I don't know what people do with their rifles but, my cdt airwolf is 19 years old this year and it has never had an air leak, in fact none of my daystates have leaked, the airwolf is used for HFT at least once a week but mostly twice,
if you like the price and you've test fired it and you're happy then buy it and let us know how happy you are with it. 👍

Is this why all the original Rapids have blown up?
 
Just factor in replacing those parts for piece of mind and possibly safety, no need to be ignorant to it the cost could be a bit hefty for the sake of a few £s

The only person I ever knew who had one bought it secondhand. He turned up at the range, full of pride in his new gun. We walked out to the start of the range (it was in a woodland valley, quite a walk out to start, then work your way back). It was then he realised the key was in his car!😁
After fifteen minutes or so he turned back up, wheezing slightly. He unlocked the gun…… and the battery was flat! We laughed and laughed and laughed!!🤣

I’m sure they’re awesome, but that is not for me!😂

I’ve known people that have turned up at the range that have forgotten to bring their pellets.
But I try not to let that put me off.
One person’s poor preparation does not a bad gun make.

The OP was asking for opinions of the Airwolf.
My experience has been nothing but good.
Take that however you will.

Opps, sorry😳

I thought the OP had asked why I wouldn’t buy one?
 
Nothing wrong with that rifle, it might need a new battery if it's not been charged or say every 3 or 4 weeks.. Yes you can leave it longer but a monthly routine charge would be ideal.

O-rings easy to come by.
Hell I've even got a little bag of the probe ones left other from my ds days in both .177 & .22.
