Only problem is they do not have any in stock right now but are expected on the 14th of this month. May just take them up on this,.

Don't keep it a secret!!!! let us all in on the site

The remanufactured bit bothers me a little.
Any one ever buy from them before and what does it mean???

call/write them and "ask".
likely means that the seals have been replaced, cleaned and ready...

NOTE: from the link (above) there is one 'opinion' that is "5-*"

IMHO:
may have been some "warranty exchange" or (minor) mfg error...

personally, given "confidence" in the provider...
a re-man can be a better item, as it has shown to work "except"...
and the "except" has been addressed and now re-sold...

I have no personal experience with this specific "dealer".

the next few weeks. There is a comet "Lulin" that is visible

and conjunct with Regulus (bright star in Leo) by the end of Feb.
It is just now (barely, as the Full moon wanes) nekkid-eye visible.

Bought a re manufactured Garmin Nav system and had problems setting it up and getting it going. Called Garmin and a nice guy talked me through all of my problems, I asked him about buying new or re manufactured and he advised me that this on has been repaired and tested and the new ones are just new and not tested before being shipped.

Toy, need your adice on building a low cost pellet trap to use in my basement.

just an idea... ( after the spring-thaw in late June, of course... )
go to a scrap-yard and take down a laundry-dryer to get the "tub".
stuff an old blanket into it and tape your target over the opening...
Shoot from behind a barracade and wear your Motorcycle helmet
and faceplate...

let me know if it works, maybe I'll try it.

No thanks, you try it first and let me know, I may be old and senile, but I am not that senile.

WELL I just got an e-mail from these people, and they now tell me they are out of stock. (Not before they submitted my credit card)
They now tell me they may be able to fill my order by 2/25.
Not what I would call a good start

Well, I just got an e mail from airgundepot, telling me that they can not ship me one in Michigan, as it is against regulations of some kind. I am well past 21 and can walk into any gun shop in the state and purchase any hand or long gun.
Ain't that a great big bucket of equine waste matter????????

Just checked with another dealer, Midway USA as they are reliable, talked to a sweet young lady and she advised me that you can not ship an air pistol into Michigan unless it goes to an FFL. Oh, rodent refuse!!!!!!!!!!
