I had a less than good experience buying a Chinese air rifle online about 4 or 5 years ago. First air rifle I bought my son, solid wood stock and all, I thought it was a good deal. Don't mean to imply all Chinese air guns are junk, but this one arrived in an oversized cardboard box - no styrofoam, not even wrapped in plastic. the rear sight was broken and it took me alot of doing to get a replacement. I think their parts company was operated out of some guy's basement in Texas and he kept sending the wrong rear sight. One time he sent a front sight. I kept sending them back and finally drilled and tapped new holes to fit the wrong rear sight he sent me twice. Then when we finally got to shootin' found it was not very accurate. Poor kid musta missed 2 dozen squirrels before I went and got him a Crossman at Wally World. Finally the squirrels quit laughing.
