Title: Matchstickshooter - Made Dream Come True
Post by: JaRoHe on September 24, 2019, 12:21:32 AM
I received my Crosman 1400 from Matchstickshooter... Wendell provided me with a most pleasant purchasing experience.  My package arrived quickly and was packaged securely, assuring its safe delivery over the 1,200+ mile journey from his door step to mine (airgun manufacturers could take lessons from him). 

The condition exceeded my expectations, far and above anything I could have hoped to have found in a previously owned vintage airgun and at a price that didn't break the bank...

This airgun takes me back in time to so many childhood memories (45+ years ago)... it's like taking a walk down memory lane.

Thanks for allowing me to relive the dream...

Her favorite pellet so far has been the Crosman Hollowpoints 14.3gr, then Benjamin Discovery Hollowpoints 14.3gr, then JSB Jumbo Diabolo 15.89gr (in that order)

In the process of redesigning a pelletbox just for her favorite pellet...

I'm making headway with the pellet box... this is photo the last one off.  I'm going to try making a few more quick depth adjustments to see if I can improve the detail just a bit.
