What to do with my parts?

trebor44 · April 06, 2019, 08:46:22 PM

Since I have started down the upgrade road, I am starting to accumulate a variety of takeoff parts for the 13xx and 2240 airguns. Things like the plastic breeches and OEM probes, rear sights, pistons etc. Does anyone have or know of an outlet for them? Thanks

I hang on to my spares, never know when you might need something.

I also have jars of the plastic parts. Sometimes someone needs something and I like to send it to them no-charge. There really is no resale value to the parts, only an air gunners community good will value.
Hang on to them & make friends & maybe help some fellow air gunner.
I have gotten helped more than a couple times and try to pass it on.

I keep everything - never know what may be needed.

The plastic breeches and their probes have about zero valve. But I have used them as test mules for build concepts.

Perhaps we could have a section specific to Parts Needed or Free to a good home, something like the Glocktalk Forum. Takers could help with the postage if need be. I definitely could contribute some.

I can vouch for Bill. Pay it forward and it comes back!

They become a new Build - the cast off gun.

Perhaps it is time for a used parts build contest or something of the sort ?
I think I remember we did something like that before....

+1. I think this is a great idea and would strongly support any effort to push the concept. Anyone talking to Brutuz about this?
