What would you do?

I hope this one does well for you, the rifle has such potential if they just work out some little bugs. I think the wood-stocked version will be a hit too when they come in.

Uggg! Sorry to hear about the return shipping cost. I just got a notice that Krale is sending my warranty return back to me repaired and tested. Thankfully they have paid the shipping both ways this time.

I tried to get them to just send me the parts to fix it, but they insisted that they wanted to check everything to make sure it was good.

Greg,

Air Venturi paid for the shipping back to me, I paid to get the gun to them.  That is consistent with their warranty.  Sorry if I worded something poorly to suggest I paid for shipping both directions.

Would have been nice for them to cover both ways since it wasn't your fault, you just paid a pretty hefty markup on a defective new product.

Yes, I was surprised it was $30 to send it back.  But I got it today and it has 3050psi in it.  I will watch it a day or two before shooting it, at least that is my current plan.  I put the scope back on it and the slip over cheek riser on.  Seems to definitely be the same gun.  But the regulator pressure is up to about 1800 psi.  I don't know if they changed it or it is creeping up.  I'll probably just shoot it there, at least to start.  I was thinking of turning it up some anyway.  Part of my reason to wait is the weather is rainy at the moment here and part is I am in the middle of building a new chest of drawers (chest done, 2 drawers in finish, 8 drawers to make). 

But I will shoot it soon and hopefully it is now holding air.  If not I may put in a Duy poppet rather than send it back to Air Venturi again.  They were fine to work with but there is a point of view that their poppets are just not up to the task.  If it holds air, however, I will probably just shoot it until it doesn't.

Pressure is still the same, 3050, as when it arrived yesterday so it is looking good.  Still haven't fired it, busy woodworking and weekends are not great for my backyard range.  My backyard ends at a lake and people are starting to enjoy their boats.  Probably shoot it Tuesday.

Good to hear the leak is fixed....
