Newbie question

[Mister Bill]

Hello,

I would like to buy a rifle, but I see you have to have ten posts to send a message.

Is there a way to speed this up? I am not a scammer, but I am afraid I will miss the boat.

I am not a scammer

Man I really wish it was that easy lol. I'm pretty sure most scammers say the same thing. Welcome aboard. I would just get started on your 10 "posts". They don't have to be post posts though. Adding meaningful comments to other people posts counts towards your 10. There is a waiting period too. I think its 10 days and then a mod gives you permissions.

A meaningful post would be describing what your interests are , now and in the future, that could be a few posts if ho;ding a conversation .

Nice looking Remington there and it seems to be grouping really well. How far out was that?

I like that rust removal trick too. I'm saving that method for later use

but I am afraid I will miss the boat.

Typically the same 10 boats run past the dock for a bit. Not exactly this but pretty true.

He's likely saying that if you miss out on this rifle, you'll see one again soon. Or unless it's a hot item at a hot price, it will likely be there.

Welcome to being active on the forum. See you are already at 7 posts. 3 more and you'll be there since you registered in Feb. Some nice videos.

One of the reasons for the posting requirements is to limit scammers. Sadly they still happen, but it helps. Theres been some recent threads about them so be careful.

Hope to see you more active here especially with doing the videos.

Hello All
I purchased my dad a air rifle about 2 years ago he loves it for squirrels, Yesterday he called me saying that something have broken on that air rifle he lives in Alabama and I'm in Florida about 8 hrs away. So I told him to send me pictures so he did of course I know nothing about air rifle and nor sure if there's a fix or just buy him a new rifle, Its a Umarex rifle from the pictures looks like a spring had popped out from some where here's a few pic he sent me. Is this something that can be fixed and where should I look for parts to help him get it fixed .Thanks

You'll probably get more help by creating your own thread rather than jump in on someone elses
