Title: New member and question about repairs
Post by: 2blackdogs on April 25, 2016, 03:01:46 PM
I just joined your forum and would like to say "hello".  Although I only own 2 Crosman pistols, I like them a lot and I'm happy this forum exists.  I have the 2300S (owned it several years ago, sold it, missed it, and recently purchased one again--there's something about shooting with CO2 that I really like...) and the 1701P Silhouette.  My 1701P is leaking air from the air gauge.  It's been doing this for a few years and I've pretty much ignored it until recently when I did something very stupid--managed to get silicone chamber oil into the high pressure tube and now it really leaks.  Anyway, I'm making my story longer than it needs to be...  I contacted Crosman about having it repaired and they said they were very backed up with warranty work and gave me the names and addresses of two repair shops a ways from my home (New Berlin, WI--far enough that I wouldn't want to drive it) to contact.  Then I did some of my own searching and came upon the name of a company called Archer Airguns in Fairport, NY.  What I liked about Archer was that they quoted a price to reseal my 1701P--and I'm assuming that service would probably take care of my air leak--assuming I didn't create a greater repair requirement when I let the silicone get into the chamber.  Anyway, has anyone had experience with Archer Airguns?  are they reputable?  do they tend to charge too much (their reseal service is $89 and includes return shipping)?  Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I can recommend Archer Airguns with no problem. Have had many dealing with them and always found him to be above board about everything and he also does very good work.

Yep, some of these CAPOF folks are retired and don't have much else to do.  ;D

I have purchased many things from Archer and have not had any problems. He has a lot of things that are hard to find elsewhere.
