Why is it so hard...

to shop the Crosman website for parts?

Watch the language first.
Second, Crosman is not in the business of selling parts. They DO this as a service to us. They certainly don't have to.
We have found it BEST to get your parts numbers in order and call their toll free CS number to order. I really don't know if you CAN do a parts order online.

Totally agree. Know what you need, call and order. Very nice people to deal with. It's actually kinda of cool seeing how impersonal everything seems to be getting.

I have ordered LOTs of parts from crosman, I learned to have ALL my part numbers, and CALL. I have always been treated very well.

Just placed order Tuesday. Took 5 mins tops. Package arrived on Friday.

Hard? Gotta wonder how it could get any easier.

I have about the same experience....I place an order every couple months. Always excellent customer service.

OK...for the record...I actually typed the gibberish the system didn't have to edit it.

Also after starting the thread I discovered that ordering parts via the website is not only difficult but impossible. They simply do not do it. Further I TRIED to get the part numbers in order but was unable to do so because the link for the parts diagram PDF that would contain the desired part numbers, download was jacked up and even after 12 (I literally tried the download 12 times) attempts I still couldn't get one that would open so I could find the part number.

Naturally by that point I was quite frustrated and just needed to vent a little.

All that being said, lesson learned. I will go back to just reading and occasionally using the chatroom feature and NOT posting to the forum itself.

Brokewinger, for which gun are you needing parts? Lots of members here have them downloaded and are happy to share via e-mail

[BrokeWinger]

In reality I didn't actually want to order anything just yet. I just wanted to find out what the parts I wanted would cost me. Simply in order to know how much I had to save up before starting my net round of mods to my 2400kt.

Initially I had been thinking of using a backpacker fore stock. Howver someone suggested the fore stock off a synthetic P-Rod. After looking at a few pictures...well that fore stock is perfect. I'm planning a HiPac conversion with two or maybe even three extenions, at least one barrel band per extension, and to fabricate a barrel shroud that will accommodate the barrel bands and the TKO LDC that is already installed.

Further plans include; folding foregrip, bipod, scope cam and maybe night vision.

All I was trying to get from the Crosman site at this time was a price and shipping for the synthetic fore stock for a P-Rod. I don't think it should have been so difficult to do so.

Frustrated? Well, we've all been there. Tell us what airgun you are needing the diagram/parts for. We can possibly help. Computers are sometimes finicky. Adobe Reader updates, Windows updates, JAVA, Adobe Flash...it's sometimes a nightmare keeping everything up and working properly.
As far as not posting, why? All you need to do is try NOT to post anything that can be considered offensive, even with the gibberish added. And also, try not to post in public in haste, when frustrated. Many tikmes I type a message and read it. Proofreading is gud. LOL
And sometimes when reading before hitting the "post" tab, I will edit or completely delete it. One thing I have learned over my many years was to think twice before typing or saying something in public. By doing so, I find I don't embarrass myself....as much. LOL
There are hundreds of helpful folks here, just hold your frustrations at bay and ask away.
Many of us have been there, done that.
But, do continue to read and drop in chat too.

[ezman604]

Well, like I said, parts are not their business. So you will not find any parts listed with prices. You have to download the appropriate parts breakdown, jot down the parts you need or want, then call to check availability and cost. And shipping is always a flat rate of $4 USPS I believe.
Ooops...file to big to attach.

Meh, not a big fan of being censored. I understand it's a family forum and all, that's why I "self censored". But that wasn't good enough, and I had multiple people down my throat over it. Yes I have a potty mouth, I'm ok with that.

Yeah I know kids frequent the forum. Yes I know some folks don't want their kids exposed to certain colors of the language rainbow (as if). I also know that it is THEIR job to filter/teach their children what is appropriate language for them to use and what isn't. It is not my responsibility to filter/teach their children.

Frankly anyone who thinks a child over the age of five isn't completely familiar with "foul" language is only fooling themselves anyway.

Sure I chose to abide by the rules and protocols of the forum administration, and therefore self censored. Since that wasn't good enough...I don't care to post any more.

"But BrokeWinger...yer still posting." you are probably thinking, and most likely planning to make a snarky post accordingly. It is my opinion that it would have been rude of me to not see this "conversation" through before the cessation of my posts.

Yes, I'm a weird one Mr. Grinch.

I bid you all, ad due.

[ezman604]

We tried...have a good one.

You almost got it right ,

No profanity, disguised or otherwise

Attitudes like this gets people thrown out of my house.  Just a complete lack of respect.

When my kids were in that stage, I was unable to "filter" my children's browsing by myself. (Unable to be there 100% of the time, looking over their shoulder while they were surfing) if I saw a website that did not "sensor" such things I would just block them from seeing the entire site, do you think the owners of GTA want that?


....and in reference to being unable to open the PDF's and such at Crosman.com, I think it was likely an issue with YOUR machine. Either that, or as our IT guys liked to say, an "ID-TEN-T" problem.

Being in someone's home is completely different from an internet forum.

I was able to open several other PDF's from Crosman.com without the slightest issue. But that specific one simply would not work. I can't recall having problems with any other PDF from any other site having issues either. I have been using Adobe Acrobat (the full suite not just Reader) for a number of years without difficulty. I think it's safe to say there is something wrong with either the link, or the file itself. ID-TEN-T problems often occur when people shoot their mouth of without having all the facts. But thanks for trying.
