They are having major problems with the new shipping hub in Indy, had a pkg of medicine sit there for over 3 weeks. Had a story on the news that older people with mail order meds are not getting their medicine for over a month just sitting at hub. Peoples packages are disappearing also. You might ask them to put a tracer on it as its probably never even leaving the hub they probably just keep scanning it. Dont know if you seen it or not but head of post office just turned in his resignation.

So he destroys the entire system and bails. Should still be held accountable!

Never ship anything valuable through usps. They've been absolutely horrible lately. Especially rifles. Rifle style boxes are suspiciously damaged and lost all the time. I suspect there's some anti gun sentiment within the ranks of the USPS.

Yeah tracking finally says today that it's on to the next facility! We will see and I'll definitely make sure I meet the carrier at the door if arrives. I haven't used their piss poor system in quite a while and wish I had control over this time but didn't!

Shipping window was through the 31st so Monday I'll be contacting eBay for a refund if it's still not here!

Was literally only listed for minutes!
I've been looking for the right one forever in factory carbine .20! And low and behold it popped up the other day on eBay. Scheduled for delivery tomorrow and I already have a JM medium power .135 wire kit and piston seal ready to go!
Supposedly it's never been opened up and a safe queen so I'm pumped to get her in my hands! Will definitely be posting some better pics when she arrives!

Congrats, I was fortunate to find a Weirauch version, the HW-80K (Carbine) in .20 caliber, my advice is to find a pellet it likes ASAP and buy a bunch of them, I have two .20 caliber air rifles among a dozen or so ,17 and .22 cal. air rifles and IMHO the .20 is my favorite all around caliber air rifle, but they are getting scarce, and so is the ammo, I have about 8,000 pellets stocked up and I'm shooting (no pun intended) for 10,000 as a goal.
Be sure to let us know how she shoots, mine likes H&N FTT the best.

I'd like to think this got caught in a conveyor system or something. It takes some force to bend a Crosman 101 stock bolt. Glad it was just a parts gun.

Any sign of this showing up? Hopefully it has arrived by now🤔

No sir! It hit Detroit 3 days ago and just says in transit to next facility. The post office is just another broken government agency with pampered employees who get no discipline for poor performance! In the real world that's not an option.

So far looks pretty good 👍
Only damage I'm finding is the windage knob on the rear sight got bent but everything else looks good thank goodness!!! I've been sweating it bad!
Rain and thunder storms all day up here so I'll get it out in better light tomorrow.
Definitely needs a tune! Sounds like slamming a screen door when fired. 🤣
Serial number puts it at end of 1987 I think ! Went to the Data base this evening and it's already listed from previous owner! Wonder if I can edit it 🤔

I keep hearing this and for fun, go check all the major pellet sources and find plenty.of of stock to be had.
The lack of variety has a little more truth to it, but the pellets that work are usually FTT or JSB 13.73. All that variety would just be setting on your shelf as the ones that didn't work. 👍
