I recently purchased a Kral Puncher Breaker from Kingston73 for my son's birthday. I paid full asking price. I told the seller the gun was for my kiddo. I had good communication with Kingston73 prior to receiving the gun. He shipped it quickly and the gun was packed well. The package showed up with no damage obvious to the exterior of the box. 

I both visually inspected the gun and function tested shortly after receiving. Based upon this inspection, the gun has issues not described in the WTS ad.

Issues- 

1) Cheek piece stock screw is missing.

2) Cheek piece groove appears to have been widened or damaged. 

3) Upon sliding off the cheek piece, I found thick adhesive residue and torn pieces of foam/padding all over the action under the cheek piece 

4) There are more dings, scratches in the metal than was apparent from the photos in the ad.

5) The gun won't hold air. I attempted to pump the gun up using my Benji Traveler and air leaks instantly out of the gun (I believe from the area at the rear of the tank towards the action).

6) Something is wrong with the trigger. The gun cocks, but the trigger is stiff and doesnt react (wont fire).

The day I received the gun, I contacted the seller about my concerns and my level of disappointment in the condition. I asked for a partial refund for obvious reasons or for a full refund upon return of the rifle. The end result of this communication was not good and I filed a PayPal claim for the item not being as described.

Again, Kingston73 seems like a nice dude. But, I don't believe he is handling the issues that occurred with this sale properly. In the end I want my money back and to return the gun to him.

Edit: ran across seller's post on GTA about some of the issues he was having with the gun, etc which were not disclosed in his ad.
