Ben Houghton 4 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi guys I'm looking at buying my 1st pcp (Daystate harrierx2) I have arranged to meet the seller to inspect it before I form over my cash but to be honest I don't really know what to check any advice would be much appreciated , also it doesn't come with a pump or bottle should it come with a adaptor or anything ?? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post
Ben Houghton 4 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Also is 375 a reasonable price ? Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 It's not nicked!! Why's there no adapter at the least? Quote Link to post
bullmastiff 615 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yes there should be an adaptor with it.if you can test fire it then all's well. There's not a huge amount of things to go wrong with pcps. Mainly seals (you can buy seal kits from chambers pretty cheap) Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hows the current owner filling it? Its a good price I think. Looks proper too. Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,551 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Ben - "no adaptor" does not sound right to me - sorry. Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 He didn't say it had no adapter. He said it had no pump or bottle and asked if it should come with an adapter. Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,786 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Ben - "no adaptor" does not sound right to me - sorry. Remember all them rifles that were nicked from that rfd not so long ago ? atvbmac :thumbs: Quote Link to post
SimonC_Here 36 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Why is it surprising that it doesn't come with a bottle or pump? They guy might be keeping his bottle for the other dozen pcp's he's still got. It's not being sold as a kit to get you started. It may come with an adaptor, but as it's a standard foster fitting it may not, but they are cheap enough to get. Remember bottle or pump will set you back ~£150 depending on what you get.

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 The owner may be keeping the adapter to make his own fast fill kit! Basically make sure it does not lead, that the power is below 12 ft lb and that it fires! The X2 is a great rifle, the price seems good, we paid £275 for an X2, cylinder, bipod, targets, gunbag and Hawke MAP 6A scope about 5 years ago as the bloke wanted a carriage for his horse (honestly that was the reason for sale). We thought the price was so good we did not argue with him. They are a great gun and surprisingly reliable given the current problems at Daystate, that one also has the thumbhole stock which makes it a slightly rarer beastie! My old X2! Quote Link to post
Ben Houghton 4 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks for the advice guys , went to have a look it didn't have a adaptor , there easy damage that you couldn't see in the photo and some knob ha strayed to drill a hole in the bottom of the stock I asked why and got the "I don't know I'm selling it for a mate" ... Verry suspect if you ask me haha so I declined his offer , shame such a nice gun got ruined . Oh well onwards and upwards looking a hw100 on the weekend witch is origanly what I wanted any way cheers lads 1 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 No adaptor does suggest that it was slightly warm to the buyer! The hole in the stock may have been a bungled QD stud fitting. You did the best thing! Quote Link to post
