Hate to do this but after a couple unanswered emails I feel compelled to tell my AG brothers and sisters that I personally wouldn't do business with him again. I'll retract if he answers my emails.
I impulsively bought a Gamo Shadow from him. Why I don't really know other than he said it was tuned with Maccari parts, had a RFM shroud and a CDT trigger. Geez it had three of my favorite guys on this rifle so why not? Anyway he was responsive to emails regarding it and sent it quickly after I paid. But here's where the story goes bad. An oversized box seriously 8x8 comes. As I pick up the box I get a clunk clunk. Open it up to find he dropped the rifle in the box with no packing whatsoever! I wouldn't send this from one city to the next let alone from Hawaii to Michigan. So the shroud is all akilter and it won't cock reliably. I got it to cock but had to really yank the barrel down hard. I mean hard. I can fix the shroud but I'm not too keen on trusting a rifle that won't cock and hold reliably. Lord knows I caught heck for those pellet holes in the basement ceiling and wall!
So it sits over in the crap corner. Not even close to the other stash of rifles because I'm basically *_*_*_*_*_*ed and don't want to see it and be reminded of a bad experience. I emailed him several times over the past 6 days and guess what? No answer. Geez from a guy that quickly responded when he was selling, it seems odd he doesn't check his email for 6 days.
I did a search on the Yellow with his name and found another guy (Hung aka
ka3ypu@verizon.net) who bought a rifle from him. His feedback said all was cool. But I emailed him anyway to ask how Josh packed his rifle. Guess what...same story. Box with no packing material. What the heck?
Anyway, I don't take flaming someone lightly but I've given this guy a chance to respond. I wasn't asking for anything from him just looking for a response to let him know just because someone paid for it and it isn't his that he doesn't need to be respectful of their property. Well actually it should be his issue until shipped and quite honestly to me that means it gets packed with care like it is yours.
Geez I feel better just getting that off my chest.
