To me, you’re better off finding a higher end gun off of the classifieds than going with a new low end gun. Pride of ownership, fit and finish and a good trigger make owning a high end gun worth it, not to mention resale value if you decide to get rid of it. I have bought several used guns and have had good luck with all of them. You just have to be careful and make sure the deal is legit.

Aaah, a forum plus a marketplace that nobody gets or has to worry about negative feedback. Kinda sounds like the world we are starting to live in now. Just do what you want. If you get busted, flip the script and turn yourself into a victim or do anything else you can to make the accuser leave you alone.

Already living in that world, I agree with you for the most part. Not worth the pros, cons, and effort on a forum. At best, courtroom would be 'maybe' somewhat better these days. I'm choosing not to, right or wrong, innocent or guilty. The experience pushes me towards coverage, return policies, and payment methods not well supported under a forum format by its nature. Forum formats are landmines and I'd still choose a court system process. The costs ... how I determine them, not worth it. May be different for others here on AN. I have no recourse here without dropping in a ton more money than what is already lost. Take the feedback given through out this thread along with some solid feedback from other members ... no negative feedback required perhaps? Regardless, everyone needs to pick and choose their fights wisely. Larger can of worms with that world you envision. I'm tired ... calling it quits for today.

I contacted HPP today. They said they only have so much info on the gun but think they will be getting more info soon. I think the preorder said non refundable but if it’s not the gun posted on the website, I’ll be on the fence about trying to get my money back. If they only produced the plastic version, I wouldn’t have even read about it or wanted one. Even if it shot 1,000fps at 100b with a 500mm barrel. My guns are tools but I like good looking tools. Keeps you mindful of what you’re doing. And like my dad said, a banged up nice gun is still better looking than a cheap plastic gun. I would like to see the cheaper walnut stock. Or maybe the pictures we are seeing are of the mid grade stock. Seems odd that there’s not even one picture of both anywhere. Unless they both have black caps. One painted and one rosewood.

The nicest walnut stock I have is on a Cooper rifle. Initially I was pretty stressed when I would take it out, but then I got over it and enjoyed the rifle.

I think you're spot on with the demographics. I haven't been on reddit but I've been on other piston gun forums and I'm a baby on them too. I'd love to see more young people get into traditional piston guns.

Most new people now start with big box store magnum piston guns. They're usually in search of the fastest most powerful air rifle they can get. Unfortunately most of them are junk and or difficult to shoot. This usually burns them out of the hobby or sends them towards PCPS. Honestly who can blame them? Lots of power and easy to shoot accurately. A small percentage of them will search out quality piston guns.

The days of new high quality piston gun sales are numbered. The market is literally dying off. Eventually there won't be enough interest in them to keep a good selection available. Diana has already shrunk its line up of quality German made guns in favor of PCPS and compromised quality piston guns. It won't be long before Weihrauch shrinks its line up. They already have been selling PCPs for years. There's been rumors of AirArms curtailing their piston gun line up.

Old gun designs need young interest to keep them alive. In the age of instant gratification, I don't see it happening. I hope I'm wrong.

You may be correct BBs are slowly dying off. My 1st gun was an Avenger, it was a very good purchase. My second gun was a $2000 FX WC Bottle, worst purchase ever. Sold it about 12 months later after throwing more money into it for $1250. I still hate myself for being so stupid. Over the next few years I kept buying PCPs, until I finally woke up after reading this forum over @nd over and thought WTF am I doing? Try something new like springers, I haven’t looked back. I sold off all my PCPS except a K1, 2 GK 1s, Notos anda RAW 1000 x which I won. I shot the RAW and K1 today for the 1st time in weeks and it was a nice change. I shoot the GKs about once every 2 weeks. I shoot my HW 30 and 50 almost daily. I ordered 95N field pro which ships tomorrow and has me jacked. I wasted so much money on PCPs I hate to think about it. Throw in all the compressors and the scuba bottle, and repairs., argh. For the $1600 I have total in those 3 self contained, far more reliable Weihrauchs I could have saved thousands and been much happier today. I think technology and guys like sqwirl bringing in new blood like cometas will extend springer life. I also think PCPs have the bigger problems with extinction, threatened by electric/battery power. Younger gen’s would be all over battery powered once perfected. No compressor no bottle

I just placed an order for a EDGun Easy fill. I have been cascading using 4 scuba tanks. I am curious if I will be able to continue use the cascade method with the easy fill or if I will only be able to use one tank at a time ? Maybe open 4 tanks at the same time? I know, I could have investigated this before I made the purchase.
Huben GK1 pistol.

Thanks,
John

Yeah, they showed it with a knife in the case. I was actully expecting the knife to be in there. The case was empty. Not even a candy treat or some beef jerky. That would have been nice. (like the Pellet Shop does).

I got in touch with Hill . It turned out to be an oil control ring on the piston . They are sending me one and I will swap it out myself .

Thanks for closing the loop. I have the same compressor and it has been great so far.

I would like one in .177 but I hate those new red stocks. Won't have one.

Yes, I have been checking for the last couple of months and they have all been out of stock. I'm going to E-mail them and see if and when they will be back in stock!

i promise you sir, next time i get born if i am not in a cows body or a pest bird, i’ll go to a country that has no restrictions in airguns

I am wondering what is the best pressure to fill my Texan 457 CF TX2 valve bottle. I filled it up and believe I am experiencing some valve lock but am not sure. Thanks in advance. Still new and trying to figure everything out!

WTS: Air Arms TX200HC RH Walnut .22 caliber. $715.00 CONUS/SHIPPED. Scope and rings NOT included. Excellent condition and could pass as new. Beautiful nice even-like straight line wood characteristics with some light cross tiger stripes. Just moving my springers out because I don't shoot them enough. Accuracy?, I shoot for accuracy of pest which is my criteria ... sparrows, blackbirds, doves, and rabbits within my backyard (53-57 feet give or take and closer). Been running the Crosman Premier HP 14.3gr. Setup for running moderators, but will come with the factory end plug too. USPS or bank money order, cashiers check, zelle, or personal check upon verified clearing of bank. NO paypal. PM me and lets visit. Looking to get into compact thermals, don't care about recording stuff or lots of bells and features, solid & clear performer (like new) for a fellow with aging eyes ... maybe trade?

AWESOME!
I get excited when I find a peppermint (still wrapped) in my coat pocket! finding 8 tins of jsb's is like finding $160.00 bucks!

Thanks for the replies.

I believe I will not be satisfied with a PCP. I'll spend the proposed money on higher quality 22LR match ammo than what I normally use. I haven't tried any higher quality ammo than Lapua Center-X.
I have a 22LR competition bolt rifle that gets >.5 MOA with Lapua Center-X at 100 yards and a heavily customized Ruger 10/22 that gets 1 MOA with CCI Standard Velocity at the same distance.

Looking for a Huben Pistol.
Send me pictures of what you have.

Tempted, too, but decided to go with AGT. Still enjoy Wildcat MK3 .30, recently found it loves ZANS BR100 (56 grain) pellets, how cool is that? WM

Looking for a fx 380mm stx barrel (not super lite). Only need the barrel housing and the liner but will consider a kit.

In excellent condition, did not use too much as I have 3 of these on 3 different rifles. I purchased this directly from Atlas (accu-shot.com) so no worries about it being fake.
