Events  2025 October 3-5 AAFTA Nationals at RFG - Vernon, CT

This event is going to be a treat. If you're on the fence about coming rest assured you will have a great time shooting some of the best ft courses available, If that's not enough, they also have a snack table and roaming snack aids on the course to help you stay well fueled during the match.

N/A  Where else could I sell a pcp airgun?

If i were interested I would just offer to use a secure payment platform like PayPal. Either you eat the 3% or charge me 3% more. Then if there are issues I can dispute the transaction.

Friends and Family, Venmo, CashApp etc are virtual cash and offer little or no protection if there are problems.

But you have entered the AGN Catch-22 zone. A lot of users won't deal with you because you have no feedback. But you cant get positive feedback unless you complete transactions.

Although many forum participants are hesitant to purchase a used airgun from a seller without both a prior history of successful sales and sane forum posts, I have usually had good luck when selling airguns because I include some background (how/why did I end up with the item for sale), a bunch of clear pictures showing the condition of the item, and I always include the cost of shipping (within the US since I'm in the US) in the total price for the item.

Asking people to 'split the cost of shipping' means that they can't just purchase the item, but need to wait around a few extra days for you (the seller) to calculate the additional cost. Many purchases are impulse buys. If the seller can't immediately place an order they will often just move onto something else.

Setting a reasonable low price is also important if you are in a hurry to sell. Some people post the same ad with the same price in the classifieds for many months before something actually sells or just goes away. Many more people start to reduce their asking price within a few days of posting an item for sale if it doesn't get any nibbles.

If I want something to sell very quickly I price it between 50% up to maybe 75% of the current retail price (free shipping included). Most airguns seem to sell when listed for 50% of retail, except maybe break barrel spring or gas piston rifles which don't have as much of a following as they used to. I finally just gave away a half dozen nice break barrel rifles a few years ago because no one would buy them even for less than 1/2 of their original cost. Sellers often over estimate the value of their items at time of sale and it can be a shock when no one is interested in buying a person's favorite airgun at fire sale prices.

A pinch of luck probably plays a role in some successful sales as well. We've all heard the generally good advice to stay away from sales with suspiciously low prices. That's where a sellers history of previously successful sales comes in. Many of my sales prices have been suspiciously low, at least according to some comments I've received from potential buyers who passed on an excellent deal. I don't blame them, their conservative approach was just protecting their money from an unknown level of risk. Based on my own history of low priced sales, I would buy anything that someone like me put up for sale without hesitation. For a person with less history I'd want lots of pictures and prior communications with the seller before deciding. Many people are also active sellers on eBay. If that is the case a new seller in AGN Classifieds might do well to mention their high level of 100% ratings in their eBay sales.

Good luck

You can also buy one "used" here on the forum and send a cashier's check! Make sure you are buying from a reputable member! You get the best of both worlds - cash sale and a gun of your choice. Lots of good deals in the classifieds! Get the compressor from Amazon with one of their known dealers so you can get it repaired or replaced if you have problems.
I'll check the classifieds out. So used to buy either new sight unseen or used if I can actually touch it!

A lot of good suggestions, making me think! I've only found one store within 20 miles that sells pellet guns. Thats where I got my Hatsan mod 25 in .22. They just sell springers. Thinking the only choice I have of feeding my pcp yen is to take a list of guns to them and see what they can order for me. Order a compressor from Amazon. Life is good!!
You could buy Amazon gift cards with cash too. Then order the whole shebang from Amazon.

HW/Weihrauch  HW35E-Great Rifle

I don’t use a scope on mine.
Now, I want you to get away from that bench, standup and shoot offhand..
The HW35E is my go to silly wet gun when the FWB601 gets too heavy..
BTW that locking barrel is the main reason it is so accurate.
You have to pass by the locking lever to get to the muzzle to cock the rifle anyway and, it only takes a quit swipe with your finger to dis-engage the lock.
Hey, I'm almost 85 and I don't shoot FT anymore because of the mandatory sitting/standing lanes. I kinda like the locking lever because I don't have to pound on the barrel to open it, and it's easy to shut too.

Yeah I’m in Louisiana not a big air gun enthusiast place to be I guess.

Stoeger  I’ve got another budget friendly shooter that makes “budget gun” titles very misleading.

Trig is adjustable and quite good These gun are shooters.

Thanks for the info. How do you like the pic rail bipod attachment? I haven’t mounted anything to it, as I felt like it may be a weak point in the design. Opting instead to shoot off a bag.

Filling Benjamin Marauder w/ compressed air

The issue with the air cooled compressors is they are slow. Hours to fill a 3L tank.
But that slow does translate into long term reliability.

The water cooled, like the Tuxing Dual cylinder are MUCH faster, ~20-25 minutes to fill a 3L tank. That speed does cause wear and tear. So rebuilding the high side is occasionally necessary. I made it around 2 years before rebuild on my TXEDM042. I use it a lot. I also keep a Yong Heng single cylinder as backup.

The Yong Heng with autostop is a good choice if you want speed but want to keep the cost down. Usually about $200.

Only hand pump i have is an AirForce that came with a gun I bought. Never used it, never plan to use it. Probably should see if someone would buy it.

Lane fill probe leaking

I spent some time looking at how this seal system seems to work. There are two holes in fill probe body. One small port on the edge that goes from the tank to the gauge. The other is a central hole that is tapped and goes from the fill port to the tank. A tapered screw is threaded into the center and compresses an O ring between the taper of the screw and the body of the gauge block. Air travels up a slot cut into the screw and can push the o ring out . But when there is pressure in the tank the o ring gets squeezed and seals.
Unless there is a cut into the screw !
I found this scratch from when they cut the slot for the air.
I rebuilt it all with a new screw. I cut the slot with a diamond burr.

HW/Weihrauch  Lost….But not forgotten

The Walther was reported lost a week and a half. They called and we’re going to refund the sender. Yesterday I see an e-mail from Thursday, (I’m not an e-mail person). I can go pickup my parcel. This one was shipped on June 12th. Thought this one was gone as well.
I’ve had dozens of rifles all shipped to me, never had an issue, late, damage or scratch. These 2 may be a warning. Crow
