I called American arms because i had a funny feeling my order on the 125 sniper in camo was wrong/ the guy was very nice on the phone but It was difficult to understand his English over his accent. could of sworn he said his name was Zone sounded like that any way.

Turns out what i bought was the 125 sniper in black, so he fixed my order to camo like i wanted, and gave it to me as the same price as the black one for 225.00

Far as delivery he said they should get it Friday. Far as me believing that, I did not care, lol cause we know it will be longer any way lol and it will get here when it gets here lol [/i]

Yeah, I noticed that crack too. It can't be the pellet... I'm pretty sure it's the mechanical action because my WFH is really loud mechanically lol.

Congratulations and I hope you like it! I saw your post on the classifieds... very tempting.... Actually really tempting lol. Such a beautiful stock on her.

Mike,

That is the 125TH ( Thumbhole Stock ) , not the SNIPER model.

The 125 SNIPER comes with:

(1) Composite stock with adjustable comb ( cheekpiece )

(2) Sling Swivels & Sling

(3) Sound Moderator - Integrated into a non-removable Muzzle Brake

(4) A clamp-on, ZYTEL bipod ( pretty much worthless )

BTW - You could always put a "Thumbhole" into the "Strat-O-Camo" guitar !

Congratulations on the Sniper purchase Mike. Looks like we're in the same boat now: Waiting on the american-armscorp to ship us our Snipers.

Thanks Max it is pretty cool.. i hope A Arms sends tracking. who do they use for there carrier

Yeah Dave the rifle pod what ever they call it , they act like your getting something worth having
lol i am thinking the adjustable cheek piece wouldn't need to be adjustable if they made it like a normal cheek piece, but still it adds to the look and coolness/ i had wonder since the but end was chopped like that if it made the rifle less stable but , since its now thicker then say a hollow butt stock it mite even be better?

Congrats on your new Sniper, thats a real sharp looking gun and one heck of a shooter. The crack you hear is from the pellet breaking the sound barrier it is not from the gun mechanism itself.

Good luck with it !!

They ship with FedEx. If you go to their site and click on Shipping Rates/ Exchange and return policy they have a map of the estimated time it would take for your order to get to your area of US.

What up guys...?

I also ordered a 125th from AA... Surprised there is no tracking or even a notification of item shipment status..

I thought they were shipping from Florida but not sure.. I saw a map on the site that shows times to different parts of the US...

Hope they come soon.. This will be my first springer.. Only other adult air gun was a Steroid 392 home tuned...which sadly disappeared during a move...

If the gun is any good I might like to get a wood stock for it.. Anyone know how or where to get stocks for these guns..could be unfinished..?

Congratulations on the 125th. I considered getting that but ended up getting the 125 Sniper. As for a custom stock for the 125th I haven't a clue on where to find one. I know that AA sells a lot of custom stocks but I'm not sure if they sell any that would work with that particular gun. Worst case scenario you could try making one yourself. I know for me that would be d**n near impossible, but I have no wood working skills at all.

Anyway best of luck.

Max,

If you are looking to get a custom stock, PM "howie1a" on GTA. He makes some incredible stocks and is reasonably priced, too !
