Any airgun regrets?

[JDR]

Vintage Webley Tempest. An expensive reseal could only produce 340 fps. Shoots 8" high at 10 meters. Going to sell it.

The losers help you appreciate the winners even more... No Ragrets!

My FX impact M4 I wished I’d done more research before spending $3k

Crosman 1377.
I bought two for a build project and "The amount of junk parts sold by "experts" that don't even take the time to do basic quality control..."

AirForce Talon SS in .22. Absolutely not a fan of that platform and puts me in a very dark place. Long gone in a landfill somewhere.

Nope! If it all got me to where I am today I wouldn't change anything. Even my piece of crud Gamo Varmint Hunter helped me make the switch to PCP's so I'm grateful for having experienced it. No regrets, just learning experiences that were part of my journey.

Evanix Cloud Ultra. BUM airgun purchased from BUM dealer New England Airguns. Never again!

Are there any airguns or add-ons for an airgun that you regret making?

Yes, sadly bought to many FX guns and I was a slow learner too. Duh.

My P-rod tinkering addiction.
After buying my 1st one in ~2013, and having Jim Gaska turn me 15" LW barrel for it along with adding his tactical butt stock adapter and extended shroud extension muller to have it stolen by a tuner in AZ. That thing shot so damn well.
My 2nd one I purchased off a gent on the Yellow forum ~2014, had Jim Gaska make a 5" extended air tube, butt stock adapter, Hill power valve, Huma reg, Marauder barrel, all kinds of Buck Rail accoutrements, well over $800 into and it still sitting in pieces in my closet today, to basically have a $250 Benjamin Fortitude worth of parts. (which I also have)
My 3rd is a bone stock version ~2016 sitting in a Rapid70 bullpup stock that leaks to high heaven because the gauge extension doesn't fit right.
I got involved in other interests in 2017, and just getting back into airgunning at end of last year, so I've forgotten more than I remember at this point.

What tuner in az stole your p rod ?

Just an occasional pellet that I bought and didnt like, but not much $$$ lost. I research and think enough about a purchase before it's done. Been lucky too. The pricier stuff has always live up to it's expectations and not much total dude on the lower end in things I bought.

I did have a new ish HW springer cocking linkage break on me once, was disappointed to be without it while it was repaired under warranty for a few weeks. That taught me not have just 1 of an airgun in a category and get stuck without, so I got a 2nd HW springer. In hindsight I think the breakage was due partly or in whole to me.

FX MII Impact. It had only made it through 1 match without leaking air. I must have purchased the only lemon MK11. It has set on the shelf so long it's now worth almost nothing.

You never got the urge to fix it?

I should have kept my 1720T.

I regret selling my first PCP a Gamo Urban, it was simply a great performer. The BSA barrel was sweetly accurate, the kills on small critters up to woodchuck size. Were simply amazing to me, and even though I have an incredible stable of PCPs now. I still miss my first…
