So, I'm 63 and not real social as in I don't do a lot of commenting or posting I just read the forum posts and classifieds. I have only been a member of the site for a few weeks now and as I said, I haven't really posted anything. I found a bottle for an FX airgun which I have been looking for since I have a Panthera Hunter and wanted to ask a few questions and possibly purchase it. However I get a notification that I must have a minimum of 10 posts and a minimum of 10 days of activity. I'm not really sure what that means? 10 posts of things for sale? 10 posts of just discussion? I have no idea what "posts" I need to be working towards not that the bottle I found won't likely be sold by then anyway. And 10 days of activity? Does that mean just browsing? Being a member of? I again am not quite sure what it is I need to do. Like I said I'm 63 and not real active on the internet so I'm kind of dumb when it comes to all this stuff. So any guidance as to what it is I need to do would be appreciated. I also have a friend who is worse than me, he doesn't have the internet but saw some things on here when I was looking at the classifieds and he had interest but I told him I would need to figure out what it is I need to do before I can help him out. So, Thank you for any help! Larry

It means you have to engage with others on the forum….ask questions, comment on things you like,or that interest you. Share some of your experience/s knowledge, or thoughts. It’s a means for the forum to weed out the chaff. Good Luck…nice to see a “new face” . John

I think it means 10 posts of discussion anywhere in the forum and a minimum of ten days time.
The 10 posts of discussion gives buyers/sellers/moderators a sliver to understand if you're a real airgunner and not a scammer. The ten days is to slow down people who want to sign up and make 10 random / junk posts to shortcut into the classifieds.

63 is old ?
damn i really didn’t think that five years ago.
now though since retirement at 66 two years ago I unfortunately feel that way.
So you retired? An answer will get you one post closer to ten

Just make more posts asking questions about things that interest you in the hobby. An alternative for you if the bottle is sold would be to purchase an 80 dollar fx bottle valve. I think Utah Airguns has them, and then a bottle off eBay or Amazon. I think they can be had for just over 100 dollars. That coupled with a valve would be around 200. Might be cheaper and everything would be brand new for piece of mind.

.58L CF bottle from AliExpress $113
FX Valve for M18-1.5 neck bottle $79.99 plus shipping
Right around $200.
Same 0.58L is $133 on Amazon but will ship from China so you might as well save 20 bucks and order from AliExpress.

Welcome, Larry, from another "lurker". Just post a few sentences. It'll come as others are already reaching out to you. I have found that by the time we get into our sixty's most folks have a few a years to settle down and are happy mostly to just have a conversation. Good folks on here.!!

It does not matter how old you are, why not simply ask questions pertaining to what you want to know about your air gun or bottle or something that helps you get your ten posts? It is not hard to do if you try.

Many on this board in their 70's and 80's view you as a kid?
Like others have said, get posting!

I mentioned my age I guess because I'm somewhat computer illiterate lol. Well not completely but not real great on computers. My confusion is how I get to the point of eligibility to PM members in the classified forums to make a purchase. Thank you for your reply.

Hi Stan, I have a few now but I guess my favorite is my FX Panthera Hunter in .22. I have it fitted with a Donny FL Sumo and Hawke Airmax 30SF but I would like to add another bottle to add more capacity. I did just pick up another, an FX Dreamline .25 cal with a GRS stock and an additional plenum that I added a nice Athlon 6-24x50 I may try some long range shooting with that. Thank you for the reply!

I count 8 posts , two more posts to go , I am not sure if it is 10 days membership or 10 days active on the forum . I probably have you beat in not being savvy with the computers . 79+ here . My computer is more of a "toy" just chatting , use like a catalog and weather , E mail . No banking , only air gun shopping . and Amazon for things i can't find locally . That's it .
