So I'm minding my own business browsing the classified section on another airgun forum and trying to outsmart my dog , when I see a Diana75 for sale.A beautiful classic springer with a flawless pedigree. I had one for a short time but was scared poopless to work on it . It is supposed to be insane hard to get working if you mess with it so I didn't TOUCH IT . Any way this guys gun has been tore down into a hundred pieces and the guy ( Ken P. ) got the new pistons fixed up and got tired of jacking with it and trying to put it back together and just wanted it gone . Been there before on many half done projects , so I know his pain ......Anyhow I'm thinking , No way I want any part of this headache, A gun thats in pieces ? So just cause I'm bored we start talking and I hear his story and we have a few laughs .This dude has in his possession what is by all accounts a gun that is WAY over complicated and only a damn NUT would wanna fool with such a potential soul crushing project .. But he's Canadian and I like the way his voice sounds so we keep talking and talking , and the more he talks to me ...The more I think my barely functioning ass can actually do this . Put back together a gun that can't be reassembled unless you REALLY know what you are doing ...I can succeed where better men have failed ..... I can right this wrong , I can save this classic rifle from the trash pile ..I can be the type of man Chuck Norris would be proud of . I'm feeling more powerful with every word he speaks .
Ken has a cadence to his voice and as I'm listening, its intoxicating, I begin to think that I could be such a man ! A man with skills and knowledge .
He has me convinced my semi-retarted ,ass vould actually pull this off !! So I tell him with my new found confidence " Box it up , and ship her my way " I'm feeling good , I'm feeling basically Invincible ....Ain't nothing I can't do ......,..
Fast fwd an hour or so after the transaction went thru on Paypal and his spell has started to wear off . I feel a little light headed and fuzzy about what has just transpired ...This tricky Canadian sucker has me thinking I can do this !!!! He's a Hypnotist !!!! Its the only explanation that makes sense ... Anyone that has ever met me in person realizes how stupid I truly am .. . It took me months to learn how to post pics here .....What the hell was I thinking ???!!!! This part time carnival hypnosis wizard cast a spell on me . I've got a big box of screws and gizmos heading my way and I'm in a full blown pee on myself panic . This is IMPOSSIBLE . IT CANT BE DONE ...I more than anything just want to be held and told everything's gonna be alright ......
So guys don't be a sucker like I was . Save yourselves ...Avoid Canadians . They are slippery as February snot . And by all means DONT TALK TO ONE ON THE PHONE you could fall under a similar spell !! It happened to me , it could happen to you . I'll keep you guys posted as this no doubt tragedy gets here . Ken P. you sir should be ashamed of your self .
