China/Asian AirGun Gate / Why No Umarex Octale Elite For Sale??« Last post by Ronno6 on Today at 11:27:50 AM »I have been watching ebay for some time for Umarex Octane Elite rifles, and they just don't seem to exist.........
NONE on the current auctions, and only ONE sold back in January with ridiculous shipping. Is there something inherently wrong with this gun? I have one that I purchased from Umarex a while back as a replacement for n original Octane that they didn't have replacement air springs for.... (I converted it to coil...) I would like to sell it.......it's new int he box.......but don't want to sell to a noob if there's shortcomings with the critter..... 2

Once again... thank you for the warning and sharing your experience. I hope that somehow this gets resolved for you. But I think this thread has a more important lesson for our members. There is a reason that the GTA restricts the use of our Classified Gate to members with 20+ posts and 30+ days is to protect our members from situations just like this. Hopefully others will take this lesson and avoid this outcome. Those rules will not guarantee that all transactions will be smooth, that's where research on the part of both parties needs to be done. I know the OP knows where he went wrong and opened the door to be taken advantage of and that's exactly what happened. Do the leg work and protect yourselves. I promise you that I, the other mods nor the admins of this forum are not going to let this thread turn into a mud slinging match. The point of the thread has been made. 4

PCP/CO2/HPA Air Gun Gates "The Darkside" / Re: Old guy plug in 110v PCP (non tank, small tube) compressor?« Last post by mikeyb on Today at 08:53:32 AM »I'm still using this one (~1/10 your budget) but obviously no LONG TERM data yet on reliability.
https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=213845.msg156527851#msg156527851 I don't need to use the 12v option(yet) but the included 110vac>12vdc power supply works fine. 7

Gamo & Spanish AirGun Gate / Re: Some observations regarding Gamo, GRT, Crosman, and Hatsan triggers...« Last post by H95Kidd on Today at 08:28:08 AM »From thread: Mikeyb--- Thanks for breaking these "simple" triggers down and creating this narrative. Your "bad adjustments" comment is especially relative here, since most of us just want a trigger that "breaks" in such a way as to make the rifle "shoot-able". By that I mean a trigger that is safe, with such a pull that one can use and shoot our rifles accurately, especially in the offhand (standing) position. Even a rifle with a terrible trigger pull can be shot somewhat accurately from a SUPPORTED position, if it can be held on target while the pull is executed. NOT easy to do in the offhand position. A "better" trigger pull/break is really required. However, it is VERY easy to get carried away with modifications/adjustments on these triggers in our quest to get these simple triggers to "break" to our satisfaction. Therein lies the problem... How far can you take these triggers to get them where we want them (shoot-able) SAFELY? The only trigger that I know of, that is built from the ground up to do this is the Rekord. Perhaps there are others, but the Rekord is the most commonly known. The simple triggers that we are discussing here just don't compare. Even the installation of the GRT blade, at an approximate cost of $30, is only a half-measure. But at least it can get these triggers shooting much better for us, and may be the best option available to folks that don't have, say, Mikeyb's abilities to do trigger mods. Like Mikey, I am a bit reluctant to spend the $30+ on the GRT, and so I rely on an adjustment regime that works for me. Typically, that entails the "longer screw" type mods, and polishing of key contact areas. The take-away here though, is NOT to get GREEDY with adjustments. Be happy/satisfied with what I would call a moderate, middle of the road, adjustment that is SAFE. I think that is where you need a bit of discipline, because it is always just SO tempting to take it (the adjustments) further. My advice is DON'T!! |
