I think I have one or two Williams prep sights in my box . I think one is adjustable and the other one is a micrometer adjust.. I don't prefer peep sight, so it's just sitting there.

Thank you all for snapping up those irresistible deals at the pre-owned aoa site. I'm usually lurking around those pages, I guess I'm addicted. With so many springers showing up i was breaking out with the shakes and cold sweats. Phew... survived that one.

There's still that Diana 48 for $295. Hell of a deal. Cheap scope, no front sight and in .177 though.
There's also that Hatsan 130 for $100. Those are fun guns and the rams are supposed to be rebuildable.

I snatched the Daisy SSP target rifle. I have been considering one of those for twenty years.

I went small and grabbed the first Daisy/Avanti that was listed. Typical AoA packaging, capable of surviving an apocalypse, and received across the county in just four days!
I will say this is the first time I’ve been disappointed by their condition rating. I would rate fair to good versus their “very good”. I was really looking for a shooter, not a showpiece, but still a bit of a letdown. Hoping to get rounds on target later this weekend, and also hoping others fair better. Wondering if AoA was a little more generous with their ratings to get through them faster.

Kinda the current state of affairs. Gonna get worse. Fellow Americans want a big min wage, they produce crap no better than anyone else, want big money for doing nothing. Things are going to suck before they get better.

Yeah, and American made airguns like Airforce, American Air Arms, Western Airguns, etc... are a long way away from being low end crap. The whole point of this thread is pretty much that the bucket of Chinese made guns over at AOA is a turd in a punch bowl. And that was the state of Chinese airguns 3 decades ago. These days most of the airguns China produces have become pretty competitive. I've got 3 Hubens and they are in the same league quality and design wise as the Americans, Brits, Germans or the Czechs.

Interesting, I bought a Daisy 853, so there must have been two? If so what was the rating on mine? The add disappeared when I put it in my cart.

That pile of Chinese airguns had what looked like an xsB3 under the pile which in today's world can sell up to $300 alone. Kind of wish I moved on that offer before it sold, lots of fun projects in that pile.

Yep, I noticed that and I'd like to acquire one some day....for around $50-$60 and without having to resell 19 B3's.
There are three models of those old school Chinese airguns that I'd like to get, but paying $300+ for crudely made, used, low end guns is nuts.

Nice! I have a Mrod Air bought used, ain't nothing like there web pics. Looks really all buffed up and blued. I prefer the non buffed which I also have. If the B models were all I had I would be very pleased. Thank You!
