I know it was years ago and maybe I'm remembering it wrong. I mentioned I wouldn't buy from Archer because of a discussion on the forums years ago about why Mike at Flying Dragon might not be able to buy the air guns he tunes and sells directly from China. I thought is was Xisico but maybe it was just the QB78. I just want to be sure i remember right what was going on.

Done business with both, a lot with Archer. Both have been great.
-
Maybe a band aid better not ripped off. ;)

I have wondered this myself as this happened before my time here. Kinda frustrating because no one wants to talk about it, it's taboo to even mention it here. Makes me feel like I'm being told not to buy things from him but I'm not allowed to know why? I haven't bought anything from him just because of the situation here. But am I not buying from him because of a personal issue he had with someone or am I not buying from him because I may not get my parts? Anytime it's mention it's the same answer, DONT ASK.

Done business with both no problems……good luck

Same here, I’ve done business with both with no problems. I don’t get in between other people’s stuff.

Whatever happened did so before my time and didn't have any bearing on my life... still don't. I buy from whoever has what I want the the price I want to pay. I have dealt with both and haven't had an issue with either.
However, I joined this forum and agreed to their terms. It never told me I couldn't buy from anyone and frankly, I wouldn't hold still for that if they did. But, it was a kinda unwritten rule that one of them could not be discussed in the forum. I figured they had their reasons and I didn't see reports of folks getting ripped off by either.
I've gone into establishment where signs were posted that read "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone".
Fine with me, it's their ballgame, I'm just swinging the bat.

This issue was a long time ago and there were threatened lawsuits because of it. That is why we really prefer not to discuss it again on open forum. If anyone really wants or needs to know they can pm me and I'll gladly fill them in. This forum has been around for MANY years and has had a lot of very good and very bad experiences. That's just history and the way things will always go with any public forum. We really prefer to keep history in the past. As Bill said, a band aide we prefer doesn't get ripped off. :)

Whatever happened between the parties happened before I got here, too. It doesn’t concern me & I don’t care.

Seem to recall the Xisico HS-60 Co2 to PCP rifle conversion fiasco being at the root ... been many years ago.

That was a different situation. I was around for that one.

Does it have anything to do the replacement CO2 caps for the XS60C that allow charging with a hand pump? I've tried to look up these caps and they don't seem to exist...
If the answer is voldemort plz pm me?

As EzMan (Dave) has stated, if you want to know the story, PM him. He will be the one to answer any questions.
But the simple answer to your question is , no.
Try giving Mike Mellick at Flying Dragon a call on weekdays between 9am and noon. He might have what you are looking for.
-
I thought it was over turf. Melick bought ad space and supported GTA ...Archer didn't.
So Archer was banned.
I think
Been around since the old GTA 2007...ive seen a lot.
Stil like lookin at old posts on old Gta. Mine Is the last Co2 post and in the pic is my boxer in the doorway. I miss that dog.

-

Umm …ok.. ;)

Like it has been said before... let's leave dirty laundry in the laundry room. We're all here for a good time, not to dig up dirt. It's all in the back pages of the forum and anyone can look back at it if they feel that they must know. But please, let's leave it there.
This is an airgun forum, not social media.

Technically, it is social media, probably the easiest form, but I agree, let bygones be bygones...
