It is always a good idea to read the rules ... these are the same rules that you agreed to follow when you signed up to AGN.

is there a waiting period before I can advertise ? I was asked by a family to sell some airguns from an estate
Upvote 0
Please allow me to introduce myself with a brief back ground. First, my brother in law's brother passed away and he is the estate administrator. He has asked me to help him sell his brothers airgun collection. I am far from an expert on any type of airgun. I do have my own collection of real firearms, mostly of the WWII era. I've been trying to research several rifles from this collection to learn how they work, to purchase some needed parts and for there value. I have one very nice Feinwerkbah 800 that I need advice on how I can charge the cylinders. I have the brass air charge fitting that came with the rifle. What else is required other than a compressor? It seems there might be an adapter needed as well. I'd like to shoot this to make sure it operates correctly.
Thank you,
Chuck

Well that's darn near rude, actually expecting someone to READ THE VERY CLEAR RULES you were kind enough to post links to. /s

I've read them. I'm looking for help and asked a question. How else can I make 10 post before trying to advertise the sale?

Here is a new guy who is trying to build 10 posts and asks a question about how to air up his gun you guys savage him, along with the moderator. Sad!

@orangeokie I corrected your quote for you. “Here’s a new guy trying to sell some items who probably joined and just checked some boxes before actually reading the rules.” The responses are hardly savage. Stop it.

The guy asks a question and then ignores the correct and complete responses. Not a good start for a new guy.

Chuck,
Welcome to the forum. You've had somewhat of a rough start, but you can fix that by getting educated in asking good questions congenially and heed the advice given.
There is a TON of very well-educated folks here, not simply air gun related, but general knowledge.
Hang out and relax, no need to be antsy, cruise control.
Get yourself known; it'll be a good ride then.
Mike

@Chuck4x4, if you have a collection of airguns to sell, maybe it would be a good idea to start a thread with some information about this collection, its history, post photos and ask for information and some advice about the value of items in this collection. This way you would engage in conversation with folks here, rake up your 10 posts quickly and connect with potential buyers. Win-win.

Welcome aboard, just take your time to read and comprehend the rules, won’t take much of your time to start threads and build your profile.

Tough place to be, Chuck.
This here is a collective of sorts, not so much a market so when a person's first question is, "can I sell a bunch of guns here, now?" the red flags pop up and the keyboard-comamdos come out of the bushes.
Slow down, take in the forum, learn a bit, post a picture of an air gun and ask if others have one, what do they like/dislike about it etc.
Show us your trustworthy and have integrity first.

Well, (down South means be careful a LONG story may be coming, but not the case on this post) I'll really try and help you at least once. Being old school and all and having heard Roz Sumpter say so many times- like right after selling a National championship winning rifle for pennies- "well you've got the be nice to keep the new ones coming back". You may just be "blown away" (that's a air joke eh?) by ALL the advantages airguns provide and NEED everyone you have access to as a start to you new fun!
I wont even hold it against you for phrasing it "real firearms" as no shortage of former powered burners here."Air"guns are Not what you grand daddy had!
Sure no powder (stuff smells bad anyway) and "only" an airgun but 4400fpe -no typo- makes a .308 sound a bit wimpy. Hey and folks DP have "old" collectables, and for good reason. Such fine utility, beauty,..... . Can most really hit a MOA target at at 1,400 yards with anything air or otherwise?(see Huben 24 airgun). Get much real rigger time at 2 cents of less per shot?
So, you have an FWB 800 you might wish to try once (ya once LOL, ever see a tiny group? Like good triggers? Ever had one?) . Now a 1st- or otherwise- post might be have an FWB 800 some gear and some questions. Heck I believe there was a recent post by someone who was in the exact same position you are in. Not the mosted loved 1st post and all. Also believe after he posted a bit asking questions and such (hey and do stay away from picture DUMPS but a picture of the FWB and accessory's you have asking what the heck you might need would be great we love pictures and have knowledge. ) thinking he sold them ALL at once after a few weeks. Personally I would have damn sure kept several of the ones he sold but no matter.
Don't know phones but on a lap top in the upper right corner is a Search box, (and use the drop downs most times). I tried typing "FWB 800" and things came up. I also did an internet search of "FWB 800 PDF" and the 1st link was naturally a forum supporting dealer (aka"PA") which provides you with:https://www.pyramydair.com/airgun-r...werkbau-Model-800-air-rifle_owners-manual.pdf
Nice of them to support the forum so it's free to us. If you whole post was just about your FWB (the common used abbreviation in the airgun world for your rig) I likely could tell ya whatca need.
Now the amount of 1st hand information Everyone here has (and sure filter out some duff but overall) is staggering. I've been using all manner of pre-charged airguns (aka pcp's) since the late 80's and still learn stuff. Take advantage of that. You may well learn something you have access to you WANT for yourself!
Well, I promised short so.
Try a real airgun! You just might like it!
Looking forward to some of those there "quality" (and there are no dumb questions in airguns with new folks) posts of yours.

OP, if you look in the classifieds there's a longtime member who buys airgun collections, so in another nine days you might contact him. Welcome.
And if you're a scammer, well, you'll not last here very long.
