what's with gunshops.

tx came from airgunsnz.Awsome to deal with hassel free knows what he is on about.
Myson I wish I had that problem. Everytime I go looking for pull through swabs or air gun oils, The first thing they try to do when they hear *air rifle* is sell me an air gun cleaning kit. And always the same one.That's three different shops and they have all done it more than once. If it was napiers kit I'd by it.

Yes, Ron Young is your man.

Ron Young has been around a long time and was for many years nz only dedicated airgun importer and dealer,Ron is allways great to deal with personally,and really does know what hes talking about,i have been dealing with Ron for longer than i can remember with airguns,hes never let me down hes got me things you just cant get that are not often evan made anymore,nothing is ever too much trouble for him and has allways given me honest answers to my  questions never any BS his service has allways been great,sorry you seem to have had a bad experience from his store,something i personally have never had and dont expect i will have either,i dont know of anyone who has done either,talk to Ron personally am sure he will sort it out for you,you are right tho bout the bigger shops they are more interested in just selling more product than helping you,their staff dont seem to know diddly squat bout anything airgun related and dont seem interested in learning anything bout the airguns and produces they sell either.my local H/F is owned by an old friend of mine who no longer works there,they used be great for airguns and did know what they talked about and sold,thats all changed since he stopped working in the store and staff have changed as well as those who were hunters with both firearms and airguns have all left now and been replaced with idiots who are only interested in selling products they know nothing about so there is no one working store who are evan interested in hunting our guns these days,so you get what you get from these idiots,there are some specilized airgun importers and dealers now who do know the guns and products they sell and are great to deal with,but unfortunatly for me the cost of frieght now kills any advantage of dealing with these people ,but i am lucky in having a very good local sports store owned and operated by a hunter and shooter whos interested and uses both firearms and airguns who does know what hes talking about and does have a very good supply of all makes of pellets etc allways in stock just 15 mins from me,so i deal with this store pretty much exclusivly now for my airgun and firearms needs with perfect satisfaction,stores like this are now hard to find and well worth supporting for us locals,

From what ive seen here, it would seem he is great.
Im in day three of trying to get a barrel and stock.
6 emails in. He has 2250 stock and barrel which I said if will fit is fine. Then went on about the band,which i said i can get the right one off the web. I also asked about if he could notify when the steel breaches arrive so I could purchase one.( in couple of weeks if anyone is interested) so far ive had no reply to if he will notify me. (asked 3 times) arnt getting the barrel because of the band ( ive told him ive been on web and looked and 2250 barrels will interchange) waiting today to see if i get the price of stock and postage. (He has given me the stock price)
Thats absolutly sh*t service in my view.
I have no idea who im talking to there.
Ive just emailed the crosman importer and asked if they could supply a list of ppl they distribute too.Hopefullly I can find a nz shop to get the parts thru.
Id rather support a nz shop, but looks like a debit card and send all the money overseas at the moment.
Im not impressed. But that is my experiance. Im sure that he provides a great service, but based on this dealing with him nup.

I don't know anything about setting up websites. It would be awesome if Young's went online for selling guns and parts. Would make it awesome for us guys down country that's isn't able to get into his shop. Even if he used Trademe would save setting up a website. (Only time I ever been to his shop was when I was about 16 before we moved out of Auckland)
