I like reading Hector Medina,he is very knowledgeable in his domain.

Hector is a nice guy (with funny shoes) to shoot with or talk to. Ask me how I know (no , on second thought dont).

Things in the airgun world used to be different. Everyone knew everyone - one way or another- , your word was your bond ...... .
Just because YOU don't recall history does not mean it did not happen.

Ole mousefart Tony in HI showed up (after years missing or different names) and even though the old timers knew better, instant fan base! Now how did that work out? I could name four others, same thing and sure enough back to their old ways after repidly building a fan base here buy it serves no purpose.

Now, to my knowledge, hector only had one big problem taking money and nor delivering but , if you word is your bond that's it.

Heck it seems the new folks would welcome the Filarms clan. And it wouldn't be worth mentioning that was the biggest ripoff in airgun history. It seems.

I'll even say it again "Hector is a nice guy (with funny shoes) to shoot with or talk to." . But.

I currently have on order a Diana 54 from Hector. It will be a custom Madina <12 ft-lbs rifle when the build is complete.

I will see him at an FT event Sunday 9-14 and I am going to bag him to trade his Diana 54 for mine + cash.

I would be honored to own a Medina custom D 54 that he himself shot at the FT world championship this year in Northern Ireland.

I've exchanged technical information with Hector for several years and have always found him to be very knowledgeable, helpful and polite. He has maintained a technical airgun blog over at Connecticut Custom Airguns since 2013 which dives deep into the mechanics and design of airguns, primarily break barrel rifles.

Check out his blog to understand how a truly dedicated airgun scientist experiments with and analyzes various airguns. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him. He is a professional who freely shares his decades of technical information in his blog for the benefit of all airgunners.

I've done enough business over many years to understand that sales don't always go as expected. Sometimes there is miscommunication, and in my experience some buyers have unrealistic expectations about a product and then blame a vendor for dealing in bad faith. It wouldn't surprise me that even the most conscientious seller has made sales that a buyer has complained about for a variety of reasons.

I won't do business anymore with a few small vendors that are generally highly rated but who didn't address problems with new products I'd purchased to my satisfaction. And some previously excellent and consistent (usually small shop) vendors go through major changes in their personal lives which can ruin their service.

When an unsatisfied customer raises general warnings about vendors that many people here know and trust, it usually only reflects a single transaction they made because they never go back to that vendor again. And of course, some forum posters seem to get perverse satisfaction from their unfounded insinuations. It usually only takes a few minutes to check some of their earlier forum posts and decide if they are people whose judgment you would trust based on their prior comments.

In the first part of this series I noted that my experiences with the small Radar Chronos had been less than satisfying. Well, as soon as I arrived at the Sherwood Forest GP, I noted that I was...

I Never had any transactions with him because of his active behavior at the time (2005-2010). Glad to hear he's changed.
