Venom Stickers

[tinbum]

Utterly crap imho!

The proper paperwork is the only guarantee you have, as ever, but this seems more scam than anything.

The worst off are people like my uncle, had a Venom 80 since the early 90's but has no papers. From now on, how would you know (apart from the stock)?

To be fair if you have a nice tidy venom rifle with a faded sticker a new one would be nice

Yeah, but, what about when these are freely fitted to non-Venom guns which are then passed on as the genuine article at a premium price?

Well out of order.

They only sure way that you are buying a Venom is have a look on the inside. If I was a seller I would be prepared to strip the rifle in front of any prospective purchaser. Harsh but IMO the only way.

Is the correct answer!

Doesn't work for all tuners as grease can easily be squirted through the cocking slot.

Looks like one of the stickers is faded, very sly indeed.

Unless the name is copyrighted, what can you do?

Plenty other brands have had their logo's copied and sold on eblag.

Buyer beware is the only advice if buying a rifle that's supposedly what the seller claims it is.

Search on eblag for rifle stickers . Air arms ones .smk ones plus plenty more.

Only if you know what you're looking at, I wouldn't have a clue, same for the stock.

Then shouldn't you be taking someone with you that would?

'Go faster' stripes for guns ! We've already had 'side pipes' scopes. Whatever next, Webber twin chokes as regulators ?

I don't have any paperwork for my 77K Venom Lazaglide but I contacted HC with the serial number & they replied that it was sold to Venom as an action only on a certain date in 1985.

It also has the Venom & Lazaglide stickers (no cobras) which are both worn & barely visible. The stock however, is standard but the internals are definitely glided.

Had a brief thought that a new sticker would be nice but then if I ever did sell it buyers might think the gun was a fake!

Rob, buy the sticker. If you ever sell it you need your bumps felt! (And as I'd be the buyer, I wouldn't mind the new sticker)

Ok let's clear a few things up with these stickers! It's me selling them! I had these reproduced to replace some old stickers on a few of my own Venom rifles after I had them reblued! After searching long and hard all the copies that were out there were utter crap so I went to the expense of having these done! After 3 months work with the printers the end result is what is in the advert! By the way the "faded" sticker is the original I removed from one of my lazerglide 77s and submitted to the printers as a master! The finished product is correct in font, colour, size and even thickness of vinyl used! The print method is also the same as the original!
Now just to let you know! There has been many Venom owners (some on here) who have had these stickers off me (most free of charge I will add) who are absolutely over the moon with the quality of them!!
Then there's the people who don't like what I've done! Even to the extent that I've had shitty emails and messages off people ! One from this forum!! Yes Shauny from Swansea, you! Who then went on in his message to tell me he knows more about me than I think! Is that a threat 😂
The intention of having these done was not to fool or mislead anyone! It was to fulfill my own requirements and some friends who I've helped out! The cost of having these done was extortionate! I'd like to re-coup some of my expenditures and help fellow owners as well! Now I can't control who sticks what sticker on what Gun, but as already stated and I own opinion also is! If your spending out on a Venom rifle then reeewrch it and check it out before parting with cash! There's more to a Venom than just a sticker!

Also how many people would be moaning if I just advertised them as ""FREE STICKERS" and I'll even pay your postage!!!!

Thank you for clearing that up Simmo.

I think folks were just a little bit concerned in your motivation for reproducing these stickers, but hopefully now they can see you're offering a genuine service for Venom owners who's guns need a reblue.



Just for the record, Shauny is not a member of this forum.



All the best Mick

Pffft! You can prove anything with facts!

The reason for having them made throws a totally different complexion on it. I'm sorry for jumping to the wrong conclusion.
