Well first chance to have a play after purchasing off of here, unfortunately the vendor has been banned so can't pass on my thanks

Kicking Hobbies out at 4.8, quick fiddle up and down & L-R with the Williams rear sight and starting to come together

Nice bright glow foresight, adjustable trigger spring mod already fitted and added a brass trigger shoe for further refinements.

Good tool, nice wood grips, freehold 8 Metres, hoping to improve as more time spent with it

Very good shooting there do you know who made the foresight out of interest?

Looks in good nick Johnny..
Not sure about these bans for trading for profit, aren’t all the people in the member manufactured / trade forums doing the same thing?

Nope, not in my case... as I don't buy anything from one member just to re-sell at a higher price.

They're at least offering a service or producing something; adding value to raw materials & charging for the time/expense to do so, and most of them contribute lots of knowledge to the forum. Worlds away from buying equipment from one forum to sell elsewhere at an inflated price, and having little or no posts outside of the sales section.

You make a good point so let’s scratch the member made items..
The shops that are advertising on here aren’t tho, they are here purely to make money, they buy from wholesalers at a lower price and sell for a higher price, they aren’t doing anything out of the goodness of their heart, it’s to make profit for themselves and nothing else.
We live in a capitalist society where buy low sell high is the way it’s done and theres nothing wrong with that but to ban an individual for doing exactly the same the shops on do here seems weird to me.
They buy guns second hand and then sell them on for profit too.
Personally I don’t have a problem with either as no-ones being forced to buy or sell anything,
It’s just my opinion and I’m not looking to get into a row with anyone over it
Apologies to @johnnyv for thread interruption..
Now back to the pistols

The shops on here that have their own section offer member discounts & when there's an AGF meet, donate quite a few items at considerable expense - we have approached them several times for past AGF meets and have often been blown away by their generosity.

The shops also don't use the for sale section like individuals do, their posts do not require approval or constant attention & moderation at considerable (voluntary) time to the mod team.

I can't speak as highly of the individuals that just use this as a selling platform and give absolutely nothing back in return.

Thats a pretty good trade off for free advertising to thousands of airgunners..
Like I said, just my opinion..
