No duck poop on that one. When I'm waiting for "them" to show up, they show up late in the after noon. When I'm not waiting, "they" show up at 9am. What the Duck? ;D ;D
-
When I was waiting for my last rifle I noticed the truck down the block. So I sat on the porch waiting for it to get to my house......well only to sit there for 30 minutes and find that the truck turned and left me. About 3 hours later it finally showed up.
-
Tell me about it, I am waiting on a g18 to be delivered.
The shipping label was printed Friday, but the post office didn't show the package until today, it gets delivered Wednesday...
Going to be the longest 2 days of my life...
I am the skeleton in the window......
-
Try waiting 86 days for your TX to arrive .... liked to kill me! :(
-
I've got a the laptop in front of me,...
Tracking page on it's own tab,...
...and I keep hitting the Refresh Button like I'm playing a Slot Machine.
Hmmmm, I keep getting the same numbers.
Maybe it's the laptop,
Maybe I should try a different computer.

My last 4 deliveries have showed up as much as 3 days early. I have an order that was originally due on the 14th, now reschedualled for the 9th. And a set of modded pistols that I thought were going to take up to a month and a half to get back are due tomorrow, at least 2 weeks ahead of my expectations (thanks Stalwart). I can't help but feeling like I'm being set up for the big one. I ordered some stuff from one vender via a creditcard online order. It was in my mailbox within 3 days. I never even got confirmation on it. 2days later, the money came out of my bank. Davio is one state over, when I order from him, it's almost like he drives here and puts it in my mail box.

So, you haven't told us what you are waiting on to get here.....

I was in the shower yesterday when a part requiring signature showed up unexpectedly... it was from the UK and I had no tracking info. So here I sit patiently awaiting redelivery, but nothing updated with the tracking details. We shall see if it is actually on the truck.
-
PA shipped my BC Air Gun and accessories on 5/2/14, and they arrived in MA on 5/6/14, I would say that was very good shipping time and it was free shipping a long with a 10% discount! these guys are good !
Now the only problem is I am still in SoCal, headed back soon.

OOooohhh,... it's nothing to get too excited over really,
Just my greatly anticipated, been drooling over for months, one of the last 5 available, Gen 1, FD .22 XS60c PCP's
That's all, ;D ;D ;D
-
Tell me about it, I've been watching a package I have coming from Spain for 3 weeks now. It cleared customs in NY last Friday, and nothing since.... :(
-
Nothing to get excited about...
Um hum,, yea right, try and float that biscuit somewhere else..
ANYTHING that Mike has done a tune on is worth getting excited about......

Ron it looks like you gained a couple of pounds bro!!!
;D
Good luck with the new toy!! Looking forward to pics and that silly grin!!
-
Um, yeah... I know the feeling.
-
It's not so much that I think of it as a "high end" PCP,.... It's not.
It's just that it's a halfway decent shooter that operates at 1500psi.
So that means I will get a lot more "Mileage" out of my fill tanks.
When my 88cf SCBA tank gets down to around 1800psi, I'll still be able to use it to fill the XS60c about 20 times.
As well, my little peanut tank at 4500psi, will only refill the Mrod about 7 or 8 times,... but it will fill the 60c about 35 times ! YAY !
Seems kinda like a no brainer for the $100 price tag.
-
My neighbor told me that when the UPS or Fed Ex truck pulls up in the driveway, that I look like a little kid running up to the Ice Cream truck........................
She also said that it's almost as funny as watching me scuttle off into the shop with my package, like I just stole the Mona Lisa.
-
My G18 is out for delivery...
This is truly me..
-
I know the mail man gets to the house about 11:30 every day, so I took off at 11:20.
Got home, dug out the stuff I needed to make the g18 shoot.
And just finished when he pulled up.
Here it is!!!
Time for the happy dance!!!
;D 8) ;D 8)
Review soon to follow...

whoo hooo!!! ;D
-
Now if we can just get the delivery people to deliver Ron's new toy...
-
Per the tracking number, they say my happy dance is "by the end of the day Friday"
-
Tracking says the dueling P-17s are sitting at the house. I have an hour and a half left at work. How much you all want to bet that Betty Lou already has a cold one in one hand and a really cool pistol in the other? I think I'm feeling a little sick <cough cough> HEY BOSS ....... Darn, that never works for me.

I do see that there is no "departure entry when it left Milan, Il., so it's probably the same thing for Hodgkins Il.

On edit-
OOPS, double post,.... Sorry
-
Oh great, Chicago..
Well, it is a large hub, I take it is coming by UPS ground.
Maybe it is on a truck heading west, and just hasn't been updated.
I have had issues with that in the past with UPS, and it finally gets here un announced until it is marked delivered, and then all the tracking hops show.
You got a UPS contact number to try?
Keep us posted when you can do the happy dance..
-
Any news yet?
It was to be here today right?
-
Im the one who buys something for $200 and then pays the $87 for overnight shipping!!hahahaha I know Im just a big overgrown kid when it comes to this AG stuff.My wife has her hands full is all I can say 8)
-
I patiently waited for my Sumatra Carbine to show up. Got here, used it a week or so, and then found defects I couldn't live with. Sent it back, and now it's replacement is on order for at least another two weeks, maybe a month.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
Killing me.
-
Nope, Not here yet.
and whats worse, is 3 BBT's have driven by today without even slowing down :(
I know they are just taunting me.
I think the ground squirrels are behind it all.
It's a conspiracy, I just know it is.
I swear if another BBT goes by, and I see it is being driven by one of those giant hamsters like in the TV commercials, I'm gonna just FLIP !
-
Now I KNOW it's a conspiracy !

Arrived - Hodgkins, IL, United States, Tuesday, 05/06/2014
Those GS's may have won this time, but my day will come.
When it does get here, I may just have to tune it for total max power, and put in some of my Skenco Newboy Seniors at 26.5 gr.
To heck with shot count,... I'm going to splatter their noggins !
-
Yesterday I watched 3 gray squirrels playing in the yard, as I was getting ready for work.
I said yea, play it up, I will get you.
This morning, I was outside having breakfast on the patio, and my cat (mr. Weasley) came up carrying a female gray squirrell.
He is taking up my slack..
The more you let them get complacent, the better the shooting will be.

Now I KNOW it's a conspiracy !

And what's in the B B T ?
Might it be a long brown box ?... Well YES IT IS !

(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/airguns%20-%20other/IMG_0526_zps8833f1e5.jpg)
came with just over 500 PSI in it
(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/airguns%20-%20other/IMG_0528_zps805022e5.jpg)
Cleaned the barrel, pumped it up to 1500 PSI, and going to let it sit for a day or two, then re check it.
Hope I got one with no leaks, but I won't complain if it does. it is what it is,..... and it'll come completely apart and given a little TLC before the first pellet is ever breeched.
naww,.... I'm not addicted,....
I can quit whenever I feel like it.
(and I hope I NEVER feel like it :o ;) ;D
-
Prepare to be completely in amor. When you remove the trigger group, before you take the hammer out, use a flat blade screw driver to fulcrum the hammer against the valve pin to degass the gun. You will hear a hisss of air. If you can turn the fill cap by hand, the gun is degassed. Altho, to do any of the things I suggested, you don't need to degass.
Oh yeah.... buy lots of pellets.
-
Dude, your gun is broke!!
It has a big hole in the side with the letters F S.
That means For Sale,
Sell it to me!
Seriously, I am glad you got it in finally, I know you will get many hours of shooting and tinkering enjoyment!!
The rest of y'all know we won't be hearing from him for a while, because he will be feeding the rifle and having too much fun to get on the computer...
-
At first glance, that reminds me so much of a marlin model 60..
-

This got me curious. Why is there no safety on the rifle??
Jerry
-
Removing the safety improves the trigger pull on this design from what I understand
(I haven't ordered one yet, but I have shot one before and after the mod)
Just don't load a pellet until ready to shoot, and keep the booger hook off the gas button..

Removing the safety on the 1st gen XS60C,,,,,,makes it safer. ;D The 1st gen is known to fire if the trigger is pulled then the safety released. :o :o One person on here has taken the time to figure out how to properly adjust the safety and trigger to work properly. It apparently takes a bit of time to do, and if the trigger housing shifts,,, you get to do it all over again. ::)
-
You have a g18 coming too?
Cool, who makes yours?
Mine is a WE.
We burned about 500 rounds through it this last Saturday.
-
There is your answer, from the man that knows.
I am guilty of parroting..
Sorry about that..
Won't happen again..
-
I got 3 of them and still got both eyes. It's 2 seconds to put a pellet in and I don't put one in until I'm ready to shoot. Chances are, if I've forgotton that I put a pellet in, then I've probably forgotten to put the safety on anyhow and maybe I should just sit back and let Betty Lou do all the shooting...... just sayin.
-
Stupid ? but who is Betty Lou? I am guessing that is one of your air rifles?
Also if you are going to sell one of those xs60's for 80 bucks or less let me know avator.

Who is Betty Lou? What rock have you been under.
Only the kind of woman that most of the members here wish they were married to.
Likes to shoot, has her own guns, buys him guns for no reason, and if I remember what he said she can cook good too.
-
Betty Lou is my female accomplice in crime and my shooting partner. And sorry but, I don't think I'd sell one for 180 bucks. Unless you find someone who will, these babys are gone.
-
lol... thanks Ian.
