I finally did it

[BigAl52]

Sorry to hear that, Al. That would try my patience, too. I've never had any issues with AOA and have ordered several air rifles from them. I do, however, call, to check availability before I order. I suspect this pandemic is affecting the airgun pipeline, just like everything else.

They guy on the phone told me they were led to believe that they were getting a good size order. They were in fact out of that model when I ordered it. At the time of ordering I was told they have a hard time keeping that model in stock. I did call back one time and was going to order a second gun but they were out of that one to. Last time I called the guy mentioned there supplies of everything were totally depleted. Guy said airguns have gone wild because of the stay at home rules. Im ok with it I will get it eventually get my rifle. In the meantime I will play with the pistol

When I was a kid I also had a CO2 pistol. It shot very well. I think the hot at first and then the bleed down is there with all of them.

Al, I got excited, thinking your rifle had arrived when I saw you posting in this thread again. Sorry to hear of your bad news. I'm not knocking AOA, I've never bought from them.
Have you ever tried Pyramid Air? Very fine place.

[BigAl52]

Dave
Ive never bought from them yet. They didnt have or sell the model I wanted so I went to AOA. Crosman will be here when I get home from work. I will give that a try later.

Been hearing reports that Pyramidair is having the same supply issues and some folks are complaining about very slow shipping. Getting hard to even find some types of pellets, now. I think the guy at AOA was right about people turning to air guns during this pandemic. We sure have.

Glad I got my rifle when I did. AOA told me then it was going to be bad and everything was flying off the shelves. This can't last forever Al, hopefully you will get yours faster than RR has. He has the patience of a saint.

Here is my airgun range. Lookout Hickok45 Im comin for you. Let me tell you those little chickens are hard to hit with a pistol. Im pretty impressed so far with the pistol. Both my neighbor and I shot 2 tubes worth of CO2 thru it. I need to get some other pellets and see how it does with those I have 2 tins of Crosman destroyers now. Maybe i willl try some other types. We even hit the rat on the stick

Looking good, Al. Yeah, those little airgun sized silhouettes are hard to hit, especially with a pistol. Noice work.
