   lmao ive dealt with napier. Same people who said you cant use alloy or copper pellets in nz. yet have them on shelf.
Same people who told me ftt only come in one head size.
Same people who sold me gamo.Even though I had over a grand in pocket to buy a decent gun.
Same people who tried to sell me chamber oil that would have dieseled.
Same people who sold me a gc scope that blew out,saying it would be sweet for job,even though i said id pay more for quality.
Same people who told me they couldnt get replacement seals, yet gun city are the sole distributors of roadster model. Said try the air gun store up auckland couldnt remember name. ( yet vaughns is the distributor)
 Same ppl who have tried to tell me I need heavier pellets which the gamo hates.
 Untill I got sick of it and told them they have no idea.
Gun city napier is the worst store in napier for air rifle advice.(in my view)
 I have no idea who you see there but ive never met him/her
Do have a good selction of h&n.

	I checked all these places before, and they either haven't it in stock and just haven't updated their website, or in the case of the Airgun Depot, it involves international shipping, and I don't really know the intricacies of it. I saw that one on Trade Me too, but the seller just took it off. The good news though, is that I found one leftover stock from a store in Auckland, and have literally just sent the email asking for the payment details so we can arrange the shipping. Hopefully will be posting some feedback on it soon! To the Gun City comment, at least here in Napier they're pretty good, with very knowledgeable people. I buy most of my stuff from them, and really like the service. Maybe it's a local branch thing, idk. Very happy with the level of activity here though, at first glance it looked like I wasn't going to get any replies at all Edited by paulo.baronceli - 12 Sep 2022 at 2:46pm

	https://www.vaughansports.co.nz/products/15070 Still sell cartridges. https://www.outdoorsupplies.co.nz/Gamo_vipermax.htm Gun $675.00 If your happy to do a barrel swap id txt vaughns and see if you can just a barrel from a returned gun. Also found this. 12 years old and I assume gamo has fixed the issue but just in case https://youtu.be/fi_YcMS_nNI Then you can have all the fun of a making a great gun. Use bsa running gear. Turn it into a pcp. Slap it on a gamo magnium. The world is your oyster. Just found this. Its 12years old but could still be relevant. Breech seal kept blowing out. https://youtu.be/fi_YcMS_nNI Edited by kruzaroad - 11 Sep 2022 at 7:50am

	Dont listen to gun city. I watched a guy tell a person on ph you couldnt use a alloy or brass pellet in nz because they shot to fast. He had alloy pellets on shelf. Vaghans sport upper hutt is the gamo importer try them for info. He may have a returned one. Or get one 4u

	often thought barreling a 2250 to use these cartridges would be a good project as they do work well on pest birds indoors and blow holes in roofs either,though cartridges bit expensive and getting hard to find now,did see couple boxs while back at magnum sports in stratford could be worth phone call . cheers mike

	Was one on trade me the otherday but I've just checked and it's sold. They are brilliant for shooting birds inside buildings

	I've been on the hunt for this one for a couple months now, and as Gamo does not make them anymore - at least that's what I was told at my local Gun City store - it's proving to be a challenging task. If you have one of these sitting in your shed and you're keen on passing it on for some cash, email me henrique.baronceli@gmail.com I'm in the Hawke's Bay region, and I can either pick it up if it's close enough, or we could use the dealers network to ship it over.
