I would be extremely leery of buying anything from them until confirmation that it’s legit. This is the message at the top of the screen on their site....All online products are in stock, please rest assured to buy. They are supposed to be in Texas, this doesn’t sound like the way someone in Texas would speak. I might be wrong but this looks like a possible scam.

Let the guy from FX Airgun chime in, top of the website it says certified by fx airguns I would hold off buying for the time being

The supposed customer reviews and other text also fail to pass the Texan-talk test. I did not google map satellite the location, but in the past the parent company, Airguns of Texas was shown to be a mini storage type location, iirc. {Edit... I do not recall correctly. Airguns of Texas is legit, the other is a net traffic parasite}
Nothing wrong with being a new or small business. There is everything wrong with misrepresentation of material facts. My money says NO THANK YOU.

Looks shady...especially when most other dealers seem to have MAP pricing guidelines that they have to stick to but this shop no one has heard of is undercutting everybody else by hundreds of dollars.
Seems too good to be true so it most likely is.

Upon further review, 99.9999999999999999999999999999% sure that place is a scam. Horrific grammar, which is one of the biggest give away that you're dealing with a scammer. Also look at the customer reviews - do you know anybody with names like that??? Random-ass names posting reviews in broken English...no thanks.

I checked its location on Google Maps. It isn't much of a place, but a sign is there on the chainlink gate. I'll call the Chamber of Commerce on Monday. I'm not looking again, but somewhere I saw the mention, of "Airguns of Texas."

What are you calling the Chamber for? To verify if they're legit or warn them of a possible scam?
If they in fact have brand new Impact MkII for $1583.99, I'd buy them and flip them all day long. I'm betting that if I gave them my credit card #, I'd see plenty of random charges on it but never receive a single Impact.

Scammers. They F'd up and forgot to embed the google map link to the U.S. English version in maps (on the About Us page). The "21 Reviews" link in the map dialog for Airguns of Texas redirects to the Hong Kong google maps.

Went to two separate scam checker websites. That I found by google. I put their info in, and to no surprise. They came to the conclusion that it was highly likely a scam site. The domain name was registered five months ago. It gave some coordinates where the business was. Which was in the middle of a lake in Kansas.

I don’t know, sounds as trustworthy as a street corner proctologist to me.

Looks like a small business. Googled it, they sell reloaded ammo, military surplus and airguns. Seriously doubt if everything they "sell" is in stock. Them not listing any phone number is a deal breaker to me. I would steer away from them. Just my opinion.

Steer Clear! My eeal world experience with this scammer: I purchased an Ataman AP16 from them, after having a nice on-line chat with someone. When I paid through PayPal, the 1st CC I tried was denied! That should have been a clue since it's the card I use for Air Gun purchases and it has a zero balance. But, enticed at saving $200, I used the 2nd CC I have tied to PP and it went through. Then things got interesting... Within 15 minutes of the transaction processing, I received a fraud alert from the 1st credit card! After speaking with them, they ensured me the transaction was not processed with that card. Then I received a weird e-mail from a guy in Malaysia asking me why I had just sent him $700+ via PayPal? This really rattled me and after checking my PayPal account, sure enough, the transaction showed the money went to an individual in Malaysia, not a company in Texas. BTW, the air guns of Texas location was all part of the scam, there is no affiliation that I could find. Luckily for me, the individual in Malaysia was an honest man with integrity. He was also scared to death because selling air gins is apparently illegal in Malaysia and he didn't want to get in trouble. Long story short, we both contacted PayPal, who did nothing to help. His account was frozen by PayPal due to the suspicious transaction, but as soon as it was released, he refunded me my money! According to the Malaysian gentlemen, I had been contacted by an individual in Chine who wanted to use him as a broker to buy Bitcoin. He initially agreed because he thought it was legit, and apparently, I was his first transaction after they had set everything up. Lucky for me he was honest, felt it was a scam and had not released the fund to the scumbag in China. So, yea, it's a big scam and I could have easily been out $700+ thinking I was getting a bargain! So, as the old adage goes: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't! Buyer Beware!
