You're welcome, Randy! Surprisingly, not much Hatsan on this batch. I've been waiting for a Torpedo 155 in either .22 or .25 but I think they are out of production now, maybe one will come up refurbed.

Just FYI, and this is only my experience - I bought 3 different refurb CO2 pistols from Wing Supply (1 for me and 2 for my nephews).  All broke within a few days or after the 2nd or 3rd CO2 cylinder before I could give them to my nephews and teach them how to shoot.  1 of them will not take a new CO2 and will dump the gas in 15-20 seconds from where it gets punctured.  One other has a slightly slower leak that takes ~2 minutes to empty the cylinder, and the other shoots 100+fps slower than advertised (only 250-280fs) and can't hit the side of a barn.  If you don't keep shooting to empty the CO2 the gun will do it for you 10-15 min. after you stop shooting.  So I am of the opinion that many of these guns will be hit or miss, but for me it has been all miss.

Which pistols were they? Seems some mfgs are better (or worse) than others when it comes to refurbs. I've had pretty good luck with Hatsan refurbs and a Benji 392 that I swear was brand new, other than the box being marked "refurbished". Were you able to return the pistols for a refund?....hope so. Most refurbs have a 90 day warranty, so best shoot the snot out of them when they first arrive.
