I ordered the parts at 2AM last Saturday and they were at my door this morning at 9AM. I got me 2 spare mags (wanted these for a long time), 2 connectors which are where the transfer port is incorporated(ah yes mod time), a regulator (I'm going to put some better springs in it and orings) and a couple spare gauges because a lot of SPA guns use these gauges. It was $103 shipped, yes the shipping isn't cheap, I think the next time I order parts from SPA I'll load up on lego parts (probably mostly PR900W parts for some needed tinkering

I requested the China post but they won't do it anymore, only Fedex from what Julie told me.

China post makes a big difference, too bad if it's no longer an option...

Wayne52 · « **Reply #2 on:** March 23, 2018, 07:58:41 PM »

Mark I probably should have ordered more parts this time around, maybe shipping would have been the same for more parts.

I just received my parts from SPA and received them faster then most places ship in the USA. After viewing a Spanish and a Russian YouTube video I was finally able to fix my Varmint. I replaced the bolt and bolt handle. It's amazing how easy these rifles are to work on. So nice having Julie available as a source for parts and no longer having to try and deal with Mrodair.

Back on the China Post shipping, I wonder if they would do China Post just one day a week or even one day a month, I can wait on my parts. That would save them a bunch of trips and make the customers happy at the same time. Unless they have to fill out the paperwork at China Post. Regards, Tom

Tom Julie probably would have said something in the emails I had with her, what I'm also wondering though is how many parts could I get shipped for the $42 that I had to pay for shipping these parts.

Pelletina Leadinger · « **Reply #6 on:** March 23, 2018, 09:35:06 PM »

Julie did mention that we could all get together and order parts for the same shipping cost but I'm not going to bother with that. The $42 shipping is lightning fast but the parts I ordered were either free or at a nominal cost. Heck I didn't expect to have my Varmint up and running this fast. I got a stock Diana Stormrider with a glued on Muzzle break that will go back into the closet.

I could then probably order a whole gun in parts minus the barrel and stock for the $42 shipping then.

Wolverineshooter · « **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2018, 10:34:15 PM »

We should all order together and then send someone to China to pick them up

$42.00 to ship whats in the photo? That's Insane, That right there is one reason I won't {willingly} buy Chinese They won't ship China Post any Longer because when that Boat arrives in the US harbor Now! It is Now subject to tariffs on tens of billions of dollars on the Chinese goods imported. What will be interesting is what will happen to SPA or Any Chinese air-gun company for that matter, Once stock in US warehouses are, Depleted. Will they even Exist anymore? And If so at what Cost?? Cheaper Quality Or Higher Prices, My bet is Cheaper Quality Not Good!! with PCP HPA!

Wayne52 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 24, 2018, 10:19:04 AM »

Crosman and Daisy both are big buyers of Chinese parts with Daisy being the big one these days with SPA especially. I seen the new trade deals and it's going to drive the price up or start building in house here in the U.S. I worked in a factory for years, we didn't use anything but steel made here in the U.S. When the old man sold to Tower Automotive (a few years after I got out of there) they started using Chinese steel because our steel mills had dwindled down to almost nothing. Lot of changes in the U.S. in the past year.

I am about to order for PR900W and PP700SA, both .22. What are the parts I should order? Right now I am thinking o-rings, gauge, breech, springs and screws for both, bolt and firing pin, magazines, single slot tray for PR900W, and constant valve for PP700SA.

Almost felt I should order every part as a backup.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2018, 05:00:21 PM »

Greg you can order everything except the barrel and stock. Eventually I'll be ordering a bunch for the PR900W

Rob M · « **Reply #13 on:** April 23, 2018, 05:04:01 PM »

my last china post order from spa went missing for 70 days,.. SO , theyre just not reliable enough

Wolverineshooter · « **Reply #14 on:** April 23, 2018, 05:04:55 PM »

I wonder why not barrel and stock? Are they too big for the air, or are they prohibited by law?

Would be cool if I can order all parts for a P15.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 23, 2018, 05:15:47 PM »

You need an FFL license to order barrels direct from China, they won't ship stocks because they don't want to chance breaking them I guess. Rob my order came Fedex, they won't ship Chinapost anymore for parts probably cause people complained about how long it took. Fedex only takes about a week from China, they're very fast but expensive.

There are plenty FFLs but I assume they will also need to have import license. I would not mind going through an FFL to get everything if that would make them shipping all the parts.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 23, 2018, 05:40:28 PM »

Greg have you emailed chinaairifles yet? When ordering the complete guns you have to order a hundred. When you put those parts together there's some smithing to it too. AustinB built three of the SPA M16A's from parts. He expains how it was putting them together. https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=135045.0

Wolverineshooter · « **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2018, 06:02:33 PM »

Thanks Wayne.

The assemble process seems harder than I thought because parts were not made perfect to fit.

LW barrel idea is interesting, I need to check to see if I can get a LW barrel for the PR900W.

oldpro · « **Reply #19 on:** April 23, 2018, 06:41:37 PM »

I just sent and email off to Julie to get PDF files on all the guns so we can break down the individual parts and price them, Then what we will do is once a week send all the orders in and get the parts needed in one shipment thus reducing cost and time getting a wire transfer at the bank and time emailing back and forth.

Thank you to our advertisers!
