    Bad Experience buying rifle

    Hi Everyone, ive posted this thread to ask members, if they have had a bad experience, when buying or trading a air rifle ? I traded a Hw77k .177 & Hw45 .22 Both in top condition, i still have the serial numbers, for a Logun Gemini 2shot, this was about 7 monthes ago, from a man called Ray, whom has now become a RFD ( ac guns ) When i got home with the rifle i found the front QD stud hole went right through the stock, with a dimple in the compression tube, i then spoke to ray about this ? A few days later i went to John March firearms Ltd, to get it filled, Mr March tryed twice to fill the rifle but it badly leaked, i again contacted ray, he first said he would pay to have it sorted but when i mentioned about the pressure testing, he changed his stance on the situation. There is a lot more to this story, but to cut it short, ive ended up with a rifle that ive got pay to get sorted, when ray said he Would pay for it, given the deal i gave him, i though this was fair. Webley/Logun/AGS have now passed on there service of rifles to another company and the cost to get the logun sorted is well over £100 including postage. Ray then has the front to post on the form that im not telling the story straight, Bloody check. he has asked me to send him the Logun, this is the first time this has been said by him, sorry but i do not trust him at all.

    well if he cared, he would have sorted things out for me, all because he gave you a tin of pellets, wonder man ? i think not, how easy some people can be won over, ive got to find over £100 to get this gun sorted coz ray ray would not keep to his word. Think about it Stefan he Was selling you a rifle.

    I will finish hopefully building the rest of my porch today! Right that's the constructive bit out the way!... There is no need for you to be rude at this point, You made a thread about about an experience of a deal you had done and someone else has done the same and because that person does not want to start slagging the guy off because he was treated well you seem to find this offensive?.
    Fishing ruined my life!

    Can't you just agree with the bloke to swap your guns back?
    Personally I think swapping those two lovely guns for a crappy Logun wasn't a smart move in the first place.
    If the gun doesn't work this Ray should reverse the deal. Taking this sort of argument to an internet forum rarely works out well, as I have found out to my cost
    Weihrauch HW77K .22 (V.Mach tuned) + Nikko Mountmaster 3-9x40AO
    BSA SuperTen K .22 (JB Blueprinted) + MTC Mamba 4-16x50 RIR
    SMK VXS20 .22 (Venoman tuned, custom shrouded barrel) + Richter Optik 6x40
    SMK SYNSG .22 + Lensolux 3-9x40
