Buy an Airforce Condor new or used?

New or used? U$ 300 diference?
I think that the answer comes with your abilities to repair things.
Is this your first airgun?
Many people that buy a gun tries to tune it to their needs, and with the Airforce, is kind of simple. But if don't have a clue about repairing things or you dislike to work on it, you shall buy some new rifle that will do what you want right out of the box.

Due to it's simplicity compared to other Air rifles, I think that I could attempt to repair one of these. I don't want to try to repair one that has a ton of Orings and such. Without a Reg, it should be fun to learn the Curve just like I did the "Airacuda" I have. I guess I look at the Lifetime warranty of these rifles as a Plus.

 

[Martinv1963]

Go ahead.
If you can prove the rifle accuracy, that should be the best insurance or warranty you shall get.
Worse scenario shall be that somebody touched the crown (the end oh the barrell) and that has no easy fix.

They're marked as blems, but I'd trust a new manufacturer-labeled blem over a used gun that somebody took a Dremel to to "improve" things, any and all days.

Might check with Airforce about how their warranty applies to "blems" if you see yourself being the use the warranty type.

Depending on caliber, there's some Condor D's listed for $395. Correct me if necessary, but I believe the "Ds" are an earlier generation and the "Es" are newer. The E will accept AR grip replacements and has extra reinforcement on the bottom of the frame, just in front of the trigger. The Ds won't accept AR grip swaps, and don't have that extra frame reinforcement.

Lifetime warranty applies to blems.

Yes, I read that, It saves you about $100. But just How "Blemmed" are they? lol

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

Buying Direct the new one is $824 + about $35 shipping.
Blems are $679 + shipping. Plus Calibers and Colors are hit and miss.
Pyramid is $797 and I believe free shipping.
So, I am still trying to decide.

I read them described as "Not looking any worse than after a serious hunting trip through brush". Of course I don't know the author's definition of a serious hunting trip through brush! Others have said hard to tell what the blem is, or a tiny "chip" in the paint.
