I'm with you on that ; love those guys! I've made many new/used gun purchases there with no problems!

Yes, takes a lot of stress out of buying.

Needed a breech for a Talon. Ordered it from trajectron.com. Then DHL doubled the price with tariffs and service fee.

The .357 Raw is a bit of a Unicorn (up here anyways) I'd appreciate your review of it when you get it! The 220fpe spec is what they list on AGS page, unsure of ammo choice, but something heavier than an 81gr pellet that's for sure!?
I watched the old AEAC video of that nice red regulated Raw and it was running about half that power....Good amount of shots on a tank though.

Reading more about the .357 HM1000X it is loud and I'm not sure I can shoot it unless I go to the range.

Was supposed to be delivered yesterday between 2:30 and 4:30. Popped out to UPS Store at 12:00 and back at 12:25. Sticker on my door FedEx tried to deliver, 2 hour early. They NEVER deliver early, not one time in the decade I have lived here. Usually it is late. So now I have to be here today to sign for the rifles.

I'm looking forward to this compact rifle.

I can't tell you how many times that I took days off to be there for FedEx deliveries only to have them not show up. I've had UPS say that I wasn't home when I was there all day. It's endless.

grr that happens here a LOT my front door is only a few feet from my couch and you can hear the TV if your at the front door even turned down where I keep it and the drive by dont stop or do a slow down stop and go then I get a email saying no one was home it just pissis me off. grrrrrr

 

[Murfdurf82]

I missed the post man! Ahhh I guess I'll drive up to the office tomorrow to grab my Max 1!!!!! Ahhh it's early!!! !!!!.... EDIT: I got home before he left our neighborhood and tracked him down a few blocks south of me . He didn't knock, my girlfriend is home. Camera showed he tapped the door lightly and stuck the note on. I can't blame him it's -2 degrees in Omaha. He was nice enough not to make me pick it up tomorrow. So after it dethaws tomorrow morning I may air it up. It's a steaming hot high of 10° F tomorrow so I may wait until mid week when it's above freezing. Doesn't feel right breaking in when it's that bad out.

My all time favorite
Standing in my driveway, UPS truck drives by, driver waves, get notified a few minutes later that delivery was attempted but I was not home.

Sent them security cam footage of me in the driveway as the truck rolls by.

Why that often happens is the guy that loaded his truck didn’t put it in the right place and the driver didn’t look further

Doesn't dismiss the fact that they lied. They ought to have an option "couldn't find the package". They mark down whatever they want to just get home for the day. Someone else can figure it out tomorrow.

Usually packages that get missed get marked not in when missed at least thats how it worked when i worked there. Same driver will most likely be back tomorrow and will know

You would think, but I tracked my package all over one day. It went strange places that the truck usually never goes. Guy finally shows up, looks all through the truck while I'm standing there. I explained that it was nearly four feet long, should not be hard to find. Clearly, not on his truck. He says he usually doesn't get deliveries over this way, makes sense considering the tracking. I called in to the hub, on duty supervisor says that it was on another truck. That driver marked it as "not home", so they dropped it off somewhere else the next day. For decades I never had a problem with UPS, or any other delivery service. Now they act as if they are doing you a favor by delivering to you. With technology being what it is you'd think that they would be better as opposed to the other way around.

Ya i think they are using too many part time guys anymore not wanting to pay full time wages

I've been leaving my TalonP in my truck this winter and so far so good, but this weekend will be our coldest so far, -10F or so. A good long term test. I really wonder what's worse, -10 or +120?

My guess is extreme heat due to the two factors of air expansion and possible o-ring leaks. My notos didn't like the cold when I installed the maple customs poppet. It took a few weeks and 50 shots before it seated and sealed.

When you install poppets you can just chuck them in a drill in the valve seat and burnish them quite effectively and quickly. You just have to be careful of course.

I don't think that I'm really testing my TalonP at all either. Nothing is hurting that thing! I'm testing the operating range of the orings, that's the only thing failing on this gun.

Two of these order from the great @orion
Krait will be delivered Friday.

 

[FL22]

Just made an order with Huma, regulator for the Taipan and a bench mat $144.38 plus whatever international currency fee my bank hits me with, $3 to $4.

When you check out it listed all duties (shipping) and taxes.

Delivered today .

If you ever need to make an order from HUMA-AIR and are in need of a bench mat, this one it is pretty nice and it was less than $20 (when you go to check out, you’ll see it as a special price look for it there, otherwise it’s $30).

The "parts organizer" section is a bit cheesy but other than that...sweet mat! I've been using my car fender protector mat for my gun teardowns.....love it!
Still waiting on my 2 piston seals for my TX200 from Vortek.....we are getting mighty close to a foot of snow here and its still coming down. Im sure it will be well into the week before they show up.
