Bad deal

[g60bv]

I bought an air rifle on here last week. Off SilentSniper
It was a falcon pistol rifle. Tdr. It arrived no problem. But is totally unsafe and unusable. It fires itself and the bolt won't hold back . He won't communicate with me. I have a return address. And email but no phone number.
I have spent £330 on an ornamental peice! Not to mention the air pump scope and mounts. I bought for this as I was waiting for it to arrive.

I bought this to teach my son airgunning. He is very upset. And I'm angry.

If anyone had contact details for SilentSniper please message me

Suggest you get in touch with the Mods, have found them very helpful when I have had the odd hiccup with sales

The mods will assist. He's been around for quite a while and done a lot of selling. I'm sure it's resolvable.

Sorry to hear that mate. Not a good intro to the forum for your lad
Seemed like a nice falcon as well!
I think this is him also, as it was for sale under this guys profile but now been removed.

Hope you get it resolved...

I assume your taking about a falcon fn,12 ? if so just try backing of the sear engagement screw on the trigger block, its the rear screw, undo the nut and turn the allan screw anti clockwise, see if it holds then, two minute job .

That's what I was thinking, Shaun, but I wasn't sure if the Falcon used the same unit as the Titan ?

He may need to back off the front screw as well if it's set to single stage --- a simple adjustment could save admin getting involved.

having just experienced a bad sale myself, I would avoid any temptation to repair the airgun yourself, if you do manage to get in touch with the seller return everything as you got it.

I made the the mistake of giving the seller I was dealing with, the benefit of the doubt, and it just hasn’t worked out and left me out of pocket.

My sympathy, hope you get this resolved.

It sounds like it could just be a poorly setup trigger, have you tried adjusting it? I know it’s not the point but just half a turn of a Allen key could resolve your anger and the rifle.

I have a video of the rifle. Trying to hold the bolt. But I have no phone number for him. And I can't upload it to this forum. He had made contact. But to say. Go ahead. Try and return it to me,!

Just seen that SilentSniper has made a reply to this thread.

So this threat I made. Which I can post on here. Was, please reply to me. Or I'll slag you off on this forum

Thats it.
No, I'm going to kill you.
No, I'll burn your house down.
Just, please reply.

The way I see it.
Because you accepted an offer 50quid below asking and had to deliver it. I should expect it to be broken?

The postage and packaging. Was exceptional. It was wrapped in bubble wrap. Then in a box. Then another box. And undamaged.
I have a video of the action. Trying to hold and won't. And when it does hold. 1/10 the slightest knock. And it fires itself! I haven't even put a pellet in this yet.

You refused to give me your phone number before I even paid you. Which I thought was odd..
Obviously, you knew I would be in contact.

Shame
Shame
Shame
