I brought this up a few months ago, But I feel it's in this Forums best interest to share it now. Any that remember a Wanted Post in the classifieds back in June I was looking for a Large Air tube for My Avenger to add more air capacity to it. I ran the ad and kept renewing it. I never got a reply until July. I ran the same ad on Airgun Warriors and also on GTA. I never got a reply from Here. I did get a reply from Airgun Warriors from @Nu-Aira . He has a membership here. He rarely posts here. Now I see why. He Ripped Me off for about $900. So if you see anything from Him offering you anything for your own sake, please do not fall for the same Promises that I fell for. This is how He fooled Me. Warn others as well. His "Unfinished Website" https://www.nu-aira.com/ Another Member here knows "Jerimiah Zak" the con that ripped Me off, but He did not lose like I did. Be careful Folks! Spread the Word! He has quit all communication after Stealing My Rifle and $$ and a Brand new SS .243 Barrel. Bad News! Choose wisely. Pick carefully when it comes to choosing a "So-called Air Smith.
And Yes, I have the Reciepts.
 
For readers and your sake: 900 dollars would get you a piece of precision ground tubing stock, the machine work and maybe even bluing at a gunsmith or small job machine shop. Heck you might even get a cnc shop with a 4 axis mill to do it at that price if you had a print or example part to reference for cutting.

I'm sorry you got taken for a ride, i find this hobby has an unfortunately large proportion of shady characters on the private transaction end. Always use PayPal, always document all communications. Never be afraid to spill the beans if you smell something fishy Use a credit card or debit card to PayPal so you can dispute charges 2 ways if it goes south.

In a tangent, you could bottle convert your gun too if you were so motivated. There may even be parts that could be made to work.

@Chief Ten-Beers, 99% of how we interact with other humans is based on ”trust”, don’t let this miscreant kill the trusting nature in you. Simply be wary going forward as many wick souls take advantage of the trusting. Simply making others aware of this miscreant is you paying it forward.…🙏

A CC# was not offered. He wanted Friends and Family ! Now I see why! I hope his $900 was worth it! I realize that Mine is gone! Maybe this will help others?

Damage has already been done. I always had great dealings in "Dealings Online" before with the Powder burner Groups. This group has really let Me down. My Trust has diminished immensely.

As somebody whose done it to avoid fees as a seller, i recommend people push back against that request. It's a red flag if theyre insistent.

The Member I bought the Rifle from here offered that Option. That is why I bought it. This Guy I sent a Money Order to. but I also added the $10 fee that gave him a Tracking Number to let him know that I was not a scammer. I did the same with the Rifle. I did the same with the New Xcalibur Barrel. Never once did He send a post of receiving them, I had to email to get conferment of Delivery. That is when I realized that I had been Taken.

Yeah, there were many signs. Again, sorry this happened to you. Don't make airgun buys while drinking either chief. I ended up with a Marauder that way.

I'm cleaning out some things I don't use much/anymore. This is a nice Benji in .177, walnut stock. Included is a totally b*d a$$ simmons 44mag 3-10 power scope😁 and stupid tall rings. Everything works as it should. Comes with one factory mag. No leaks. I haven't tweaked any settings from the...

99.900 percent of my posted WTB adds are NOT deals. I lost count the number of response offers ended up much cheaper when they eventually posted as WTS. But, I still don't mind the opportunity to meet AN members whom have already been down the path. As far as payment options by the seller, if you don't like the terms ... move on (had a potential buyer block me when I would not take his terms). I went with what the majority do here and been on both sides of a deal. Other than that, weigh the feedback, give a call, do a video chat, make a drive for a face to face, and yes ... trust and some faith are not a waste either. Just a small fish here, but been on other forums, auction sites, etc ... you will run into a bad deal at some point in time. I've had tons of deals go just fine, stay positive.
