Wait period to dm

[gfhickman]

I would like to start out by saying that I understand the policy behind not allowing dms until you are established. What I find a little frustrating is that there is no way to purchase anything. I'm in the market for a bottle and there is a current seller of one that I would consider. Sadly I can't comment on the thread or dm the seller. If anyone has any advice this newbie would appreciate it.

We all had to follow the rules. It's not that hard.

Thus to me is the most irritating post we get on AGN https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/this-is-my-most-dreaded-forum-post.1301834/

We get the frustration, blame the scammers who've taken some to the Cleaners, very sad, they ruined it for everybody. Be thankful, some members pushed for far greater requirements. Ten days/10-quality posts isn't that hard, we prefer folks who participate anyway. WM

I totally understand, just thought it would be ok to register my frustration. I currently have my fingers crossed that the tank will be there after new member jail, but another part of me hopes they sell it. Either way if it's ment to be mine it will happen.

I am also new here and in a wait period but I was given some pretty good advice/info at the start. Things in the classifieds aren't really moving right now and new things are added daily. Also this is turning out to be a great group of people sp your time here won't be wasted. All the best on getting your purchase though!

Maybe you'll get lucky enough to have one of the more helpful members relay your interest and the seller can then open communication by messaging you. The seller might also see your post and send you a message

That's a great way to look at it!

I intentionally didn't say exactly the item I'm looking at because I didn't want to do an end run on the policy. If I was contacted by the seller great, but wasn't my intention with this thread.

Agree, end runs are cringe-worthy, following rules, more respectful, IMO. WM

go check out your local fire stations,
can sometimes snag tanks cheap ($50 or less)

all my tanks came from fire stations,
and i get them filled there too.

Question, if you get a tank from the fire department, what do you have to procure to be able to fill your rifle?

Exactly, I'm going to be here for the long run. Want to be a good citizen.

if using a firemans tank (scba)
you would need a fill system for cga347 threads.

heres one from ebay,only 39 bucks.

both of my fill systems are ones like these,
but i added microbore hoses to them,
this one comes with a microbore.

CGA347 Paintball Fill Station Kit PCP SCBA Charging Refill Adapter with Hose HPA | eBay

SCBA Fill Station Charging Adapter Hand Tight CGA347 for Paintball PCP Air Rifle. It is using a stainless steel hand tight CGA347 nut and nipple for connecting with SCBA(Fire fighting) tank. Thread: CGA347 connection.

Not to bad, cost wise. I'll reach out to my local fire department and see if they have any used tanks I can get my hands on.

I guess different situation but I had asked about recommendations for pcps for Christmas presents for three of my kids. Some of the recommendations were for a gun modified by another member here. One of the long standing members had the the guy that modified the guns message me. I don't see the harm in that, I really appreciated it. We've had a few lengthy phone conversations and he even sent me some scopes and a bipod he had laying around as gifts for the kids. There are some really great people in this community and I'm thankful to be a part of it

Not a tank guy, direct fill with Yong Heng compressor, but, following others on forum, depends on gun and tank. Hardware attaching to tank is called, "fill station," my guess would be to secure one with 8mm quick-disconnect connection, very popular for air gun filling. Gun will either have permanently attached male 8mm quick-disconnect or a fill probe. Fill probes come with threaded ends; you'll need an adapter as shown in photo, to convert to male 8mm quick-disconnect. Pyr

amyd Air (PA) has adapters for $9.99. WM

 

[WorriedMan]

Those bottom two pictured fill probes are aftermarket versions I purchased. Left one, HUMA Air, expensive, other, much cheaper, on eBay. They're many different sizes, choose carefully, Grasshopper. WM

Personally I think of the classifieds as a PERK of membership. To me the AGN forums are for people with a real interest in airguns not just another place to buy and sell your airguns. Personally I think 10 posts aren't enough. There are at least 2 major places for buying and selling on line if that is their only reason for joining AGN. The real value of joining AGN is the wealth of knowledge and the willingness to share it on here is why I think that membership on here is a real privilege not just a place to get a deal on airguns. I think 10 REAL posts and 10 days wait is not asking too much. I also think members helping to circumvent this rule should lose their access to it also for a period of time. Just my opinion guys.

 

[gfhickman]

I don't disagree with many of your points. Joining this community want shot purchasing anything for me. I'm glad I did, as it's a very helpful community. I look forward to being a participating member for years to come. I have seen other resources for buying online, but am curious what are the two sources you alluded to.
