Airgun items you would never by used...... Curious to hear your thoughts.

Any gun with “Slug kit installed”. A used Edgun Leshiy classic. Scopes make me nervous. Compressors absolutely not. A gun that the seller installed a reg.

Used fx liner….. I’ve gotten a couple in package deals.
One was a 22 maverick barrel kit, looked like the liner was soaked in grease. It didn’t shoot right till I replaced the liner. A 30cal barrel kit has been the same way. I’m assuming they were sub par so replaced.

To date, I've purchased a brand of scope I'm familiar with, BUT I didn't look closely enough it was a MRAD, not a deal breaker, just have to do some mental reprogramming. Picked up a Maverick Sniper, great price, no issues, tweaked it a touch and it's a tack driver. I'd sent the guy too much money and he was honest enough to refund me the couple of hundred.

This does help comsiriderably. As I also purchased a Alkin from a member here online and it was just as describedIf it is a slightly better compressor it should have a timer that counts the hours used

I have had very good luck with my purchases of used equipment. Most quality scopes will have ironclad guarantees in the event that something should go wrong. Air rifles from the best manufacturers will almost always have parts available, and being somewhat of a mechanical guy, I'm not intimidated when it comes to doing a little work on my airguns or fabricating a part.
I even bought a used Coltri MCH6 compressor that needed a bit of work. I looked at the parts diagrams, studied some youtube videos, bought some parts and began rebuilding it. I can now count on it to reliably fill my scba tanks.
In my experience, buying a good used product from a reliable source will result in a fine piece of equipment at a nice discount.
I would say the one thing that discourages me is distance. If I see a nice sleek rifle with a thin wrist area, even though I may be interested in it, I will generally not engage the seller. The only reason being that I'm afraid the simians in the shipping industry might break the stock.

I have no problem buying used. I am sure it will be in better shape then after I get it. Oh by the way, I have a couple used guns for sale!
But seriously, I have bought, sold and given away a lot of air gun related items on the forums. Been very lucky to have not got burned. Doesn’t take a lot of reading back post and feedback to make intelligent choices of who to deal with.

I’m a bit new to the sport but any gun with “well known” issues as I would figure that is why the owner was selling it. For example anyone that knows firearms knows the woes of the first Gen Sig p365. Wouldn’t have touched one of those new let alone used. The same is true of compressors for me.

I have had really good luck buying used Airguns from some awesome people on AGN. Made some life long friends in the process. I think I prefer the used market for Airguns overall with the care to do the diligent homework.
