    IMHO the seller is an unscrupleless seller doing that,it is standard practice to include the fill adapter as it came as part of the gun's standard package and the gun is useless without it.

    all of my former pcp's went with the fill adapters apart from one where i didn't need 1 as i had the standard adapter on my old rws pump.

    Of the guns I have sold I have always included an adapter .

    Of the guns I have bought from the bbs most came without an adapter all but ONE was supplied after the initail deal .

    Nothing worse IMO when getting a gun a not being able to charge it and get out shooting .

    That's just ridiculous, you can't fill nor shoot the gun without it.

    It is as bad as supplying a gun without a trigger.

    Of the two PCP's I have sold on here everything went with them inc adaptors, silencers etc in fact anything that came with it plus more if I had it and didn't need it.
    With the TDR I left in the adaptor U.K.Neil made me to fit a 1/2" silencer to it and a brand new HW silencer in it's box.
    The HW100T I sold had a 3-9x50 scope, all adaptors, silencer, 300bar filling adaptor and because the seller drove down and collected it I gave him a new Deben Tracer Max Pro lamp as I had no use for it to pay for fuel.

    Filling adaptors should go with the rifle simple as that.

    No wonder Shooters are complaining about Deals if
    Guns are being sold with filling adapters

    Sure that would be cover by Sales of Goods Act
    No Filler No working Gun

    As are supplied with All Precharge Guns @ time of Purchase when New

    Re suggestion less a £10.00 - think you will find they often cost more than
    £10.00

    Not always. For example the Theoben MFR (MULTI FUNCTION ? ) doesn't - thats an extra £17.50.

    Personally, I would never sell a pcp without the filling adaptor but I state that in any advert.

    Adapter.

    Well if I was selling a gun without an adapter, this would be stated in the sale description & it would be reflected in the price.
    Far too many rifles & pistols to mention here.

    Of course it should. The adapter is always included when you buy a new rifle, why keep the adapter when you sell - it's just plain wrong!!
