Gun has had one magazine of BBs though it. A fun gun but a little heavy for me.

Hi,

I like your rifle setup. I didn't know they now had electric BB rifles. I read that it is .177 Calibur.

I saw the specs were 380 to 410fps. Is that spec shooting steel bb's?

My understanding is that this is NOT an airsoft rifle, am I correct on that? Although I guess a person could use airsoft plastic bb's as long as it is not contra-indicated by Barra.

It looks as though a battery comes with it, is this the case? Does a charger come with it?

I am sorry for all the questions, I wouldn't bother asking if I did not have a genuine interest in it.

Any help highly & greatly appreciated!

Thank you & respectfully,

Greg Paarman

Greg, It only shoots steel BB's. It uses airsoft tech, but is NOT an airsoft gun.
Yes, it comes with a battery and charger. Also a second mag and loader.
There are many youtube videos that are good to watch. The only complaint I know of, is it is hard to load mags,
this is true, until you get the hang of it. Then it is fairly easy. If you have more questions, let me know.

Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Thank you for responding back to my questions.

I was sad to hear it was heavier than what you like. I really like to read or hear a person say "it really worked out great for me" but I know how it is. On the plus side is the fact that once one electric BB rifle is made (more than likely) others will start to produce them too in various makes, sizes and weights. The other manufactures will feel compelled to practice the "Keeping up with the Joneses" maneuver.

I have a Crosman Mag Extreme I love the heck out of. It's a .22 10 round nitro piston break barrel that is built like a tank. It delivers super consistent shooting and is highly accurate. But I have some shoulder issues needing repair and after firing it a bit it worsens my shoulder pain.

I am from Peculiar, Missouri. Needless to say I am not close. I suspect your willing to ship this given most potential buyers live elsewhere? I didn't see where you mentioned one way or the other but I may have overlooked it? My apologies if I did.

I see you have the original box for it. I don't know if you kept the outer box they shipped it in or not? I just know the more protection the better when it comes to shipping it, esp. With the USPS, they can drop boxes faster and harder than anyone!

Often in the past when ordering air rifles from individual sellers I have ordered a new hard sided case from Walmart or Amazon that I have mailed to the seller. It provides great protection for shipping and it also comes with the cardboard box the hard sided case goes inside. Doing this tends to make things easier for the seller shipping it. I just ask that any important parts of the factory box be neatly cut out like the top and any sides having useful info on it. I keep that in the upper lid behind the foam because I like to hang onto stuff like that but also because it may be valuable and important to someone if I ever gave it away to my Son, family member or friend or just sold it.

I am really thinking hard on purchasing this. By chance would you be agreeable to shipping this for your asking price plus $35 to ship it? I really think $35 would get it to zip code 64078.

Thank you & respectfully,

Greg Paarman

Greg, I do have the shipping box and $35 should be fine for shipping.

Hi again,

I suspect I already know the answer to the following question... By chance do you sell on eBay? I am guessing though that if you did you would already have it listed there. I had to ask it though.

I am new on here and it appears that you are as too. I joined last month as well. I have 1 purchase under my belt, an Umarex Steel Storm from off of here (sort of). Gregory Beltz from Guns America posted it on here. But they have their own business that I then went to complete the online purchase. It was a great transaction that benefited us both.

I did not see how or where on here to leave positive feedback for him. So, I created a thread letting everyone on here know that I had a fantastic purchasing experience with him and would gladly do business with him as a way to say thank you. If you search out Gregory Beltz and or Guns America that post should be available for you to read.

I am sharing things about myself and background info so we can hopefully get a little better idea about each other. In fact I was doing some reading on here about how to buy since in this case it's different than doing business on eBay or Amazon. It did make mention that getting to know your seller / buyer some is helpful.

I do a lot of online purchases on eBay, I have been a member there for many, many years. My username there is "skilled Repair" if you would like to look my history up with them. You can also look me up on Facebook. I am not really a Facebook kind of person or on there a great deal, but... I do have an account. Just look up Greg Paarman, last I checked I was the only person with that name.

If you have any questions of me or want any info PLEASE just ask and I will provide you an answer. I collect airguns and try to give repeat business with good sellers weather it is on airguns or anything else. If you ever had any other airguns you were thinking of selling your always more than welcome to reach out and say "Hey Greg, I have another airgun I am looking at selling a (what ever you have), would this be of interest to you?

Anyway, sorry about the long message.

Thank you & Respectfully,

Greg Paarman

These may be a little out of order but it helps to validate who I am. It gives things you can look up. The thread I left on here, eBay info. And my Facebook profile.

I have been on Ebay for years. They don't like guns so I try to avoid using them.
Plus Ebay is quite greedy with fees and such.
I do have some other airguns I will be selling later.
I am on Facebook also but have had a lot of scammers lately.

My apologies,

I must have misread your join date, I am so sorry! I thought I read you became a member last month as well. That is why I had some concerns, what you shared makes me feel A LOT more comfortable!

Your right about eBay. They keep getting greedier and offering worse and worse help and service at the same time. It is damn near impossible to get a hold of them with problems, things one cannot resolve using their automated service. Often using this automated service bears no fruit, it throws you back to a previous step you cannot get beyond. Your just stuck in a non-progressing loop of frustration! They want the money but not to be bothered with problems!

I honestly feel that eBay is somehow and in someway enticing law enforcement, district attorney's, attorney general's & politicians NOT to go after them for their horrible conduct and wrong doing. How else could they possibly get away with it??? I swear that some seller's use eBay like a free payday loan institution. They list items they don't have, you try to contact them about why your item has not shipped and no response. Perhaps a week or so later or so later a refund appears without explanation of why the purchase was cancelled, nice, It just became a free loan to that seller. Or worse, you don't see your item as shipped. When you investigate you find the seller deleted all of their inventory and abandoned eBay.

I would like to go on ahead and purchase your Barra setup. The only way I know how to pay for it is via paypal. I like the fact that it is convenient and there is a paper trail. Does this pose any problems?

 

[collectric]

No problem, I like PayPal I've been with them a long time also. I don't like that Ebay has stated handling payments on there own now.
You can make the PayPal payment and I will get it shipped Monday. Also there will be a monitor for the battery also. It has an alarm to warn you when the battery is low. I will try and find the link on Youtube as it didn't come with instructions. I got it off of Amazon.

PayPal ID [email protected]

forgot that ;o(

 

[gpaarman]

How do I purchase the item on here, do you send me an invoice to pay? Or do you give me your PayPal address and I send the payment to o you? Any suggestions?

 

[collectric]

I sent my PayPal ID. that's all you need. But if you send me your email address I can send an invoice.

Hi,

I just sent the $335.00 payment via PayPal. I requested that you please not ship this via the USPS. The USPS is bad about NOT delivering to my door on stuff like this. They do not like my long driveway. They would choose to leave this roadside. They also tend to be rough with items and will leave items in the rain while it is currently raining or getting ready to without wrapping them in plastic. They are HORRIBLE & LAZY! I hate to say that but it is the truth! If NOT using the USPS poses a problem please get with me prior to shipping.

By the way, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE POLITE HELP! I WILL SEE TO IT I LET THAT BE KNOWN ON MY FEEDBACK!

RESPECTFULLY,

Greg Paarman
