Seems youve gotten him on a bad day or rubbed him up the wrong way. Rons an asset to the airgunning community, as DVLNME said hes been around for decades as the only airgun dedicated store. He sells you what you need, not just what will make him money. Hes straight to the point has a wealth of knowledge he doesnt mind sharing. If somethings crap he'll tell you its crap.

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. |

And Im not knocking ron young or his knowledge or contribution to the air gunning community. Nor do i know if im even talking to him.
But the service has been shocking, and as to the he might be having a bad day, so what, its got nothing to do with me all I asked was could you send me the price of a 18inch barrel,shoulder stock and postage for a 1322, after establishing that they had them, and he couldnt sell me parts that wernt crosman. |

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)

He has a web site. The actual site doesnt display that much but it has a link to his catalog, which is a bit more accurate, but im sure itsbnot his entire inventory.
https://www.youngsairgun.co.nz/ I just got an email back stating that he cant do modifcations as hes a crosman dealer ( never asked him too) He cant supply none crosman after market parts (which I established on the ph 2days ago and fully understand) but he can sell me standard crossman parts. (Which is what im trying to get) so ive asked him to send me postage costs (again) so I can get the 2250 18inch barrel, and the im assuming a 2250 stock which he has sent the price for 2 days ago before he went off on barrel band tangent . Hopefully Ill hear back before end of day so I can pay for them. He has also said he will notify when the breaches come in, which I appressiate. |

I can see where you are coming from, it's great to be able to type "crosman breech" into your preferred search engine and click on a link to buy one. Ron's catalogue is quite useful. But for parts etc I would phone him up, or second best email him.

Well, I'm going to write a shout out for Gun city! Caleb, just rang me to day to say they found the case, fill adapter, suppressor and scope for an air rifle I bought from them 2 months ago. So can collect the extra goodies for no charge.

Its great they got you them all. The no charge is fab. Were they supposed to supply them with the gun? If so thats shoddy service (in my view)
If not thats awsome service (in my view) So hows the new gun going? Whats the new gun? |

So in the intrest of making sure that ppl have a full picture, I have a 18inch barrel and shoulder stock paid for and should be sent monday ( ive said not worry about posting it before then as it wont get here till next week anyway)
I'll be notified when the steel breach arrives. Its taken way to long for this, but things unlike the other couple of days have been smooth and quick today and all issues resolved. Im not sure if Im dealing with a differnt person but wish it went like this a couple of days ago. |

This one! You could say it was supposed to come with the other bits, but they didn't mention them in the add. at the time, so they were not part of the purchase price.

Young’s is owned by Ron, shopfront run by a guy named Ron, repairs are done by Ron (most repairs in the country sent to him), importing, buying, etc done by Ron.. he’s old school and his receipts are written on contact pads. His website is average to say the least, but he isn’t going to operate an online inventory - it’s not the way he works and isn’t going to change. If he doesn’t get back to your emails he’s likely working on a drop of 30 Gamo repairs for gun city, or trying to sort an order to make sure we don’t run out of pellets. |

Well the breeches have finally arrived at youngs. A few weeks later than he said, but I'm assuming thats to do with shipping. But stoked that will get the 362 scoped up and one for next 1322.
Pauly has a couple of extended probe bolts for me which is awsome. But the real reason I fired this thread up again is to sing praise of magnum sport in Stratford. Ordered some sig pellets after mercs said they stocked them. In less than 2 hours I got a email from Aramax saying they had been picked up and the tracking number. The service there is awsome. I absolutely love his no bullsh*t attitude. Throughly recommend using him. Just got a email from him, verifying the track number and let me know that he doesn't have a source for other parts I was after. I love that too, no bullsh*t just nope don't have source, no ifs, but, maybe, might be able to order. Just strait up service. |
