Has anyone ordered from waffencenter-gotha?

[YEMX]

Of course they ship to the States after completing my build    I guess keep us posted on whether or not you get the parts/work you need.  If they do ship to the States, I guess I'll squirrel them away for future use. 

[Stinger177]

It will be a few weeks before I order. I just spent my monthly airgun money on another D34 (1987). 

If anyone wants to get in on an order, post it here.

Not sure how that would really work out though - We'll still have to figure out inter-US shipping costs.

In 2015 I had bought some replacement parts for my springers from Gotha. The shipment was fast, everything packed and labeled well. No idea how that is these days.

Thanks John.

Do you speak Deutsche?

Aber sicher spreche ich deutsch, das ist meine Muttersprache.    =   Of course I speak german, that's my native language.

Dietmar Strom was big German Tech who came to my Plant with 3 others to assemble a 3000 metric tonne IMM. (Twice so 6 months total)
I am 6' tall and Dietmar TOWERED over me....Imagine the Dude from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
 He taught me more German than my Grand-parents (Shultz / Gehring decent)

Every morning I would say "Guten Morgen mein Freund" and hold out my hand to shake his.
 His massive mit with bratwurst fingers would choke back and grab my fingers and squeeze.
 "Guten Morgen Scott.. Ha Ha HA!" was always his reply as I fell to my knees.
Gosh I miss him.

Why do you say that?  The other big German airgun sight does not ship to the US.
Nobody from the UK will ship an assembled airgun.  Even Krale will not now ship LDC's to US.

Actually, I got that without the translation. My GF is from Deutschland. Been there about twelve times now. I still can't carry a conversation, but I know when they are talking about me, LOL!

[truck driver]

My computer has a translator program so I can read it all in English.
I'm running windows 10 and Google Chrome.
Maybe a group buy would help to get the shipping cost more to your liking.
I saw a muzzle weight for a Diana 52 I would like for my 48 to replace the front sight.

Rodger - Send me the link to that muzzle weight. I think I found it but want to make sure. Just for kicks I added this item to my Warenkorb (which already contained the IJ22 stock) and the shipping was still €30.

That looks like the same barrel weight they list for the D48.

www.waffencenter-gotha.de/shop/Erastzteile/Luftdruckwaffen/HERSTELLER-MODELL/DIANA/DIANA-Luftgewehre/DIANA-48:::11_12_61...

That is the full address, if it doesn't work look on their home page and on the left is a list of all the manufactures they have parts for and you just click on Diana and all the models will come up and just scroll down to the model you want click on it and all the parts for that model will come up.
Hope this helps.

Rodger - Your link didn't work for some reason. I went through the process and found this. It's the less expensive one of the two I found before.

Please verify if this is the one. It's €34,95

[mafatone]

I have. Ordered FWB 300S original parts. Sent them 2 Emails. One in English and one in German using a translator. Not a problem. great price, great parts and fast shipping.

Yep that's the one I saw also. Not sure why the link didn't work but it is different from the one you posted.

I'm lovin' these guys the more I search their site.

From what other airgun dealer can you buy liquor?

Yes, there are nightly meetings across the Country.

So I placed my order, struggled through the checkout with some help from Google Translate and completed the order...except

They apparently have two ways of paying. One is through an EU banking transfer system, the other is to send them the money by direct transfer from your bank here in the US. Problem is, their bank codes are different than ours, i.e. routing numbers and such. I sent them an email to which they replied with the same bank info I had from the sales invoice. I guess now I have to take that info to my bank and let them figure it out. Apparently they don't have a way to pay by credit card.

Will update on how that goes.

For those of you here in the US that have placed orders with them, how did you pay?

[HectorMedina]

Dennis;

I have bought quite a lot from them. Always an interbank transfer. Transfer adds $35 to the cost of the whole operation.

There are different muzzle weights because there are two barrel diameters (16 and 15 mm's) and two different depths to which the shim and the sleeve have to go into the cavity in the MW.
The MW's are pure steel, HEAVY, and are not easily worked on, having been "parkerized" the surface is as hard as ceramic. You need carbide tools to modify them.

So, make sure that you get the one you will be able to use.

IMHE, those MW are too heavy and create more harmonics than they solve. But that is JMHO.

My latest purchase from them was a Tyrolean stock for a fantastic 65 I found.

Last comment is that the ones that will not send to the US is Waffen Schneider. Waffen Gotha has always shipped to the US.

I may be placing an order for Walther seals soon. Drop me a line if you need help.

Thanks Hector. I just came from the bank (Chase Bank). The transfer fee was $50. That's the last time I will ever buy from them. I would have cancelled the order but I wanted that IJ22 stock.

Big (expensive) lesson learned there.

[HectorMedina]

Sorry that I was away at the Pyramyd Air Cup.

:-(

[Stinger177]

It's ok, and not your fault. I could have pulled the plug while I was at the bank.

How'd you do at the PA Cup? 

[HectorMedina]

Dennis
I placed 3rd.

1st was John Farbrother, a former World's Champion.
2nd was Ray Apelles, 3rd Veteran at the World's and among the Top Ten
Leo Gonzales, who placed 4th at the World's ended in 5th
Nathan Thomas, that placed 13th at the World's ended 4th, so, clearly not an easy course.
I skunked a lane by getting frustrated, but after some serious introspection, I regained my rythm and composure.
Got a very nice Cup and a SIG-Sauer ASP 20, which I'll be testing thoroughly.

Overall, an excellent event. Lot of fun and got a ton of work done.

😉


Thanks for asking!
