TOPGUN749 Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 It depends how busy each place is,but to me 2 weeks is reasonable! Just have to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hello, did the company give any indication of waiting time, I had my FX Vermy given a full service , 1 week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 I guess it would depend on availability of parts ? Orings etc. And that would probably depend on the brand and model of the gun ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 It's generally easier to get parts for bigger brands especially uk ones like bsa daystate and airarms . But fx and hw should also be easy enough . The issue can arise with flyby night Chinese or mid Eastern brands where the chop and change models every 5 mins . Also your average gun shop doesn't have a lot of airgun servicing ability . A dedicated tuner specialised in a few quality brands is generally a better option . So to that end what's the gun and where has it gone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postie Posted November 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Didn’t say how long. And he makes us own regs and bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
222mark Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 20 to 30 minutes KevG did my Rapid in. New valve, resealed, leak tested and set up on the chrono. Can't get much better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communication is key to any business, seems it's lacking in this instance 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postie Posted November 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 I would have minded so much but I messaged saying that I needed it asap as I had 2 farms that I had to clear ferals out for farmer before the cows went in said he’d get it done and back to me on the Tuesday that was 3 weeks ago I rang the farmer to tell him I’d be up on the Thursday didn’t happen and he got someone else in and I’ve lost the ratting there too.

Mice! Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 No good to you now, but this is why you need two rifles, in 177 & 22 But it's bad when you've had to wait this long, and been chasing it up with still no results. I'd be asking if anything has even been done, because if something still isn't right how long will you have to wait next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Definitely NEED more than one gun .be it airgun or shot gun Edited November 24, 2022 by Ultrastu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manthing Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) If its the chap I think it might be, he has a large project on and is currently building a new shop, workshop and home and this is taking priority. I know it's a pain and his communication isn't the best but when the gun comes back it will be sorted. If you simply can't wait arrange to pick the gun up and send it somewhere else. If its not the chap I'm thinking of and there are no outside influences then 10 weeks does seem a little long without explanation.

Even if it is the chap you are thinking of, 10 weeks is long, he should not be taking work if he cannot fulfill the work in a reasonable time, at least not with out stating the estimated time scale first. 10 weeks is not acceptable, especially without communication.

postie Posted November 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I don’t know what he as on or if it’s the guy you think it is. But as just messaged me asking what gun it is. Hopefully we can get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
