Another fine

Anxious to see A.G.R. stock

Nice shooting!
I'm always in search of the unicorn or Swiss Army knife of whatever hobby I'm doing.
And you are certainly making the GK1 look like the unicorn gun I'm after.
It seems to tick all the boxes.

Ok. So I listed a gun on classified for xxx amount. It's over $1000 of course. I got a pm by a buyer saying they want to buy my gun for the asking price. I offered free shipping and I will pay the pp fees. All buyer have to do is pay the asking price which he agrees to. Then he later said he don't trust me sending the money. Like wtf. I am a member since 2019. He only join may 2024. So who don't trust who here? Lmao. I am looking for advice. How do you guys sell guns over $1000 in here? Since we all strangers no one trust anyone lol. Buyers don't trust seller sending money, seller don't trust buyer they might do charged back saying they didn't get item or item wasn't what they wanted. How do you go about dealing with this?

It's really a gamble you take. Is there any extra information you can give us about this interaction? Depending on how sketched out they are, if it seems like the transaction is gonna be hassle, I just won't sell them the gun.

I've done more transactions on here than my feedback shows, (multiple trades with the same person) but they've all been good. Come to a mutual agreement where you both are happy/content and move forward. Be as honest as you can as informative as you can and as helpful as you can. This goes for buyers , sellers and traders.

It being a matter of trust.See how active they've been, There are members who have joined maybe 1-2 months ago , but have plenty of posts and are very active.

All CS makes is on their website. Nothing else.

Oh yes,

Oh yes, the FTS! That's why I was hoping CS had made the stocks, and could still make one up?

Worth asking, unless the design’s under lock and key? It’s not a matter of their ability—they can definitely do it—but more a question of whether they’re game

There were likely only around 75-100 FTS and FT variations ever made—a rough estimate based on about two per month over 4-5 years. Production was limited because it was quite pricey, with a basic model costing the equivalent of around £1700 today. What made the FTS stand out was that each grip and thumbhole was custom-fitted to the original owner’s hand. So, if you’ve got large hands and end up with one made for someone with tiny hands, you might find it rather uncomfortable. I wouldn't buy one 2nd hand for that reason.

I might need to look into the STO Falx.
You wouldn't have a part number or something for the exact Falx you're using by any chance, would you ?
I'm not familiar with them so I don't know if there's even any "options" to specify or anything.....
Thanks !

This listing has been renewed

Oh yes,

They crafted their own stocks. They believed that any kind of tuning was marginal, especially on the top popular field target rifles like the HW77, and the biggest gains were to be made in the stock's ergonomics and a cracking trigger. That’s where Airmasters truly worked their magic. Of course, they didn’t entirely ignore a rifle’s innards either. Their pièce de résistance? The legendary FTS (Field Target Stock). They are also the inventors of the "hamster".

Nice in theory but the issue is they need a new venue that can accommodate more entrants. I think they limit the entrants for EBR to 160 as there are 40 benches and all 4 days are full up with activities so not really feasible to increase the number of participants without a larger place to shoot.
Thx

Then why do you keep buying them?

Because he does not have a wife to nag him into submission. I too suffer from the affliction until my wife started inventorying my air guns.

And also, did Airmasters use CS as their stock supplier or did they made their stocks themselves?

i've always said
$xxx shipped paypal friends or add 4% for the fees.
its the buyers choice

Click to expand...

Yeah people like you and 90% in here asking for buyer to pay the fee. That is the problem. It is against TOS for sellers to ask buyers to pay the fees or ask for friends and family. One, you ain't my family, 2 you the seller pays the fee. It's that simple. I made this thread cause I am tried of seeing folks in the classified asking buyers to pay the fees when rules is, SELLER PAYS THE FEES. smh.

Ps: might want to look up paypal TOS b4 using it. That's my advice.

I've had them before and ai currently have goosebreast in my freezer. I asked my grandma to make it and she made a beef stew out of it. It should cooked for longer so it would've been tender, but it had amazing flavor and the kids and wanted more and more of it.

I told my fiancé that if we're that tired of turkey, we'll just make it a goose dinner for thanksgiving lol

Nice if you like that kind of stock. But same Old 95 .. (which I love) but not so much their factory palm area on their stocks .
I would benefit from the adjustable cheek ,as I like a higher weld ,it’s how I make most of my own.
I am forming a pattern now for the 95/R9 platform.

I think the stock looks pretty good for factory. It has stippling which is a nice touch, and I like the adjustable cheek piece as well.

My set up is that good. I've found way to shoot heavy pellets very fast that don't drift alot. It's accurate to. Unless wind is 10mph I can hold edge 8ring and hit either 9or ten. I just aim center unless I see my flag is straight horizonal,then I adjust to edge of 8. With pellets not drifting6 and 8 inches do to wind,I'm able to hit centers. I have some more targets ordered,and pellets coming. This one I'll video. I can say the 235 I shot it was not really windy,but not dead calm either. Each time I shoot ,I get better at it.

Hi Hunter25,

I will advise based on personal experience…

Now that you have your rifle dialed in at 100 yards in good conditions, I’d suggest practicing in a wide open farmer’s field. An open space about the width and length of a football field.

My experience is that wind is significantly more challenging in these wide open spaces vs. say a shooting lane carved into the woods.

Also, wind varies significantly even across the width of the wide open space - which is why lane choice matters at these competitions. For example, if the outside lanes have a barrier on the side, you can expect them to have significantly different wind conditions than lanes in the center.

Also, when practicing make sure you mount your target sheets at the same height as the competitions do. I believe the higher the target is mounted, the more it is “exposed” to wind conditions. Targets mounted low to the ground seem to experience less wind.

When you mount the target up high like in competitions, my experience is that the wind can vary significantly from the bottom row vs. the top row of your target.

Finally, there are a lot of crazy things that you have to deal with in competitions. For example, especially in Sportsman Division, beware competitors accidentally cross-shooting your target card. You will have to check and double check all holes - and report any cross shots you detect immediately.

Another vote on the O-ring being the most likely culprit. If a -010 leaks, try an M2x6.

Or if the leak occurs at elevated pressure, go with a 90 durometer rather than the more common 70.

They used to be numerous in Anauach and we’d spotlight them in the roadside canals back in 79 and 80 when I was in high school. Of course times were different then and 2 teenagers standing in the back of a truck with a Q-beam and an old school Colt AR and a Marlin .22 while a 3rd drove, would only earn you mosquito bites and maybe an admonishment to be careful from the game warden who wanted to make sure you weren’t shooting deer…

I have a 95K .22 I put together, I call it the HW58.

I guess for some folks .20 cal died when Walmart quit selling them.
