The build quality is excellent when you get them in the uk they come with a zero and +1 thousand over bore liner , these are also excellent, the one I tried had pellets stuck in the barrel when I arrived an easy off barrel and they were zoom out , tried to shingle load to see I. The mag had caused the problem and found the zero bore liner quite tight for the pellets on hand , if the + liner is fitted that will resolve that ,
Overall the gun is stunning and quite unlike anything I have every shot before ,
Remember back I. The day when the mk3 Daystate came out and the rapid before that they were greeted by oh it will never work the electronics will fail or look you have a bomb fixed to your gun , the Epoch will be the same this is next level tech and other manufacturers need to be concerned

I remember years back walking into a shop and seeing the Theoben Rapid in the flesh, that gun was a game changer yes.

I can’t wait to get my mitts on the epoch and see what its got

[mick a]

You really need to ,I have one on order a .22 fac

What you get
The gun so electric solonoids to open the low pressure air to open the spool valve and high pressure air that in turn closes the valve , dwell time low pressure and high pressure all adjustable
Adjustable lop ,butplate height
Programable fire option
One carbon fibre barrel approx an inch dia
One std liner one plus one thou oversize liner both Nickel boron coated , slippy as snot
Suppressor and sound moderator
Regs that will turn up and down under pressure without damage .
Hardcase
Barrel collar to further support the barrel
Tools spares kit grease
The two things I would change is the cocking lever locking back when open and something to mount a normal bipod on

The electronics should all be fine, I believe the company making it is the latest incarnation of smart parts who have been making paintball guns with similar electronics for years, at one stage they were selling one at about £200 new. Personally would not have one new if it is the Gardner brothers latest company due to their past behaviour.

Hi Mick, be prepared to get a us to uk plug adaptor for the charger as mine came with a 2 pin us plug, luckily my nokia phone charger is rated at the same amperage so the usb lead could be fitted to that. Also get a foster type valve cover for it as again it was not supplied with the gun, may be just missing from my `extras` box. Build quality is exceptional, but need to pellet test to find its ideal ammo, mine is .177 sub 12.
