Looks like 1 more message and a day or two of access and you have access to the classifieds.I'll check the classifieds out. So used to buy either new sight unseen or used if I can actually touch it!
You can do consignment at Cape Fear Airguns, call Newman.My FX Maverick Sniper .22
The Super H Points expanded really well in Play Doh, and fragmented in clay. The Crow Magnums had minor expansion in Play Doh and a chipmunk, but full expansion in clay in my stock gun. It will be interesting to see what the steroid does.I just packed a bunch of plumbers putty into an empty #10 can and shot every pellet and every gun I had into it. Crow mags will expand pretty much no matter what if you hit. Their accuracy falls apart before their energy does ime. Most of my my life I hunted with a 600 fps pump 22 and crow mags.
I was thinking the same with Tim.I’d say don’t.
I’m in the same dilemma but the gent who’s doing my gun is still recuperating from a heart surgery; he’s also not young anymore.
OK , so post it in Classified's under PCP rifle. in your description say Pay Pal only and you will pay the 3% . personally i would not list it for more than 75% of new , and list where you bought it and what you paid . (75% of what you paid ) Sorry if this is not acceptable to you , but this might get it sold .All I have is pay pal lol I don’t do none of that other stuff lol.
Not yet. I'd thought that since Tim sent me a pic of the scope mount being fitted, he was near finished, just waiting on the pump cup from Crosman.
I promised him when I talked to him on the phone that I would try not to be one of those guys that constantly messaged/called him asking: "Is it done yet?" As of this past Friday, it's been in his hands for two full weeks, but like I said, I promised. I've been thinking of messaging him and asking 'How's it coming?' But I'm trying to convince myself to wait until this Friday...
Man a 335 at 820 or 455 at 740 will.put a stupid hole in a deer. In Florida we use a gauntlet sl30 for deer and droppin em.In reality you don't need a bigger caliber, just more velocity.
The fix for the loudness is to drill a 3-4 mm hole in the threaded part where you screw the modulator to. If you look at the original shroud it has a hole it it..This lets the air diffuse into the modulator. Sounds just like original nowHello all, i've been busy but got to shooting again now that it is summer. My .25cal Maverick is trusty but having noticed the barrel band I bought may be changing the POI as the bottle itself could be shifting. I saw HumaAir's barrel tension kit but once I installed it, the rifle was 5 times louder without the shroud, boo.
So then defeated, I put the factory one back and played with a carbon fiber tube over the shroud, cutting it to size. The small gap I left was a perfect fit for an o-ring against the Sumo. The result was actually a noticable increase amount of stiffness/reduced play. Tube was purchased at Amazon.

I have other ideas too but had to stop for the time being.
I just packed a bunch of plumbers putty into an empty #10 can and shot every pellet and every gun I had into it. Crow mags will expand pretty much no matter what if you hit. Their accuracy falls apart before their energy does ime. Most of my my life I hunted with a 600 fps pump 22 and crow mags.I was last week-years old when out of curiosity I used GOOGLE AI to see what the minimum foot-pounds of energy was needed for pellets like the Crow Magnum, RWS Super H Point, Baracuda Hunter Extreme, etc need for expansion.
To my surprise, it had answers! And as it turns out, my (at that time) stock 392, with around 13+ FPE was below minimum by about 5 FPE (using the Crow Magnums as an example).
I posted why when I posted on the classifieds but they took it down cause I havent met requirements yet still.Although many forum participants are hesitant to purchase a used airgun from a seller without both a prior history of successful sales and sane forum posts, I have usually had good luck when selling airguns because I include some background (how/why did I end up with the item for sale), a bunch of clear pictures showing the condition of the item, and I always include the cost of shipping (within the US since I'm in the US) in the total price for the item.
Asking people to 'split the cost of shipping' means that they can't just purchase the item, but need to wait around a few extra days for you (the seller) to calculate the additional cost. Many purchases are impulse buys. If the seller can't immediately place an order they will often just move onto something else.
Setting a reasonable low price is also important if you are in a hurry to sell. Some people post the same ad with the same price in the classifieds for many months before something actually sells or just goes away. Many more people start to reduce their asking price within a few days of posting an item for sale if it doesn't get any nibbles.
If I want something to sell very quickly I price it between 50% up to maybe 75% of the current retail price (free shipping included). Most airguns seem to sell when listed for 50% of retail, except maybe break barrel spring or gas piston rifles which don't have as much of a following as they used to. I finally just gave away a half dozen nice break barrel rifles a few years ago because no one would buy them even for less than 1/2 of their original cost. Sellers often over estimate the value of their items at time of sale and it can be a shock when no one is interested in buying a person's favorite airgun at fire sale prices.
A pinch of luck probably plays a role in some successful sales as well. We've all heard the generally good advice to stay away from sales with suspiciously low prices. That's where a sellers history of previously successful sales comes in. Many of my sales prices have been suspiciously low, at least according to some comments I've received from potential buyers who passed on an excellent deal. I don't blame them, their conservative approach was just protecting their money from an unknown level of risk. Based on my own history of low priced sales, I would buy anything that someone like me put up for sale without hesitation. For a person with less history I'd want lots of pictures and prior communications with the seller before deciding. Many people are also active sellers on eBay. If that is the case a new seller in AGN Classifieds might do well to mention their high level of 100% ratings in their eBay sales.
Good luck

You mentioned something about the seals being the only thing missing n one of your multiple threads about it.
