FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS PAGE

 Q. how do I order a gun ?
  A. decide what you want, or at
      least decide what you want the
      the gun to be most capable of
      doing and describe that or the
      specifications ( caliber, power
      source, barrel length,finish,etc)
      in an email.
        If you have never used the
       type of gun you are asking
      about, then read up on it. I am
      here to build guns that meet
      your needs, I am not here as
      an unpaid educator, I do not
      have the time to answer a
      dozen emails worth of
      questions. ( 3 or 4 emails
      should suffice ).
     
 I have provided the all the   inform- ation needed here on the web  site. READ THE BLOG, if you do not understand what FPE
 is.

  If you need or want more info on
  air guns in general, and the types
  of power plants available, then a
  Google search is your friend.
 

Q  WHAT IS THE SHIPPING POLICY ?
THERE IS A MINIMUM $10 ORDER AND A MINIMUM $5.00
       SHIPPING COST ( FLAT RATE USPS )
       ALL ORDERS OVER $100.00 WILL GO INSURED THROUGH
       UPS (SO, THOSE ORDERS CAN NOT GO TO A POST OFFICE BOX )

          OVERSEAS ORDERS INCUR AN ADDITIONAL
     CHARGE OF $50.00, ( THIS IS FOR THE HASSLE AND TIME
         FACTOR INVOLVED WITH FILLING OUT CUSTOMS FORMS AND
         STANDING IN LINE AT THE POST OFFICE TO GET THE PACKAGE
         SHIPPED ).
         Canada orders incur an extra $25 charge

 Q HOW MUCH TO BUILD THE CUSTOM GUN OF MY
    DREAMS ?
  A   JUST EMAIL ME A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU
        WANT IN THE GUN
       CALIBER, BARREL LENGTH, FINISH, GRIP MATERIAL
       AND FINISH, SIGHTS, PERFORMANCE SPECS, ETC

         THERE IS NO NEED TO CALL FIRST, PLEASE EMAIL
       FIRST. i CAN NOT KEEP TRACK OF WHO I AM DOING
      WHAT FOR BY PHONE. KEEP ALL EMAILS IN A CHAIN
     ( DO NOT MAKE A SEPARATE EMAIL EACH TIME YOU
      SEND ONE, THIS HELPS ME TO KEEP TRACK OF
       WHAT I AM DOING AND NOT HAVE TO SPEND SO
       MUCH TIME TRYING TO FIND PREVIOUS EMAILS
        TO SEE WHAT DETAILS OF THE BUILD ARE.

       **** ONCE A BUILD HAS BEGUN, TRY AND CONTAIN
      YOUR ANTICIPATION FOR THE GUN, CALLING OR
      EMAILING WILL NOT HELP THE BUILD TO GET DONE
      ANY FASTER THEN IT TAKES, IN FACT IT TAKES
      AWAY FROM TIME SPENT IN THE SHOP VS TIME
      SPENT IN THE OFFICE. ****

  HOW FAST DOES IT SHOOT ?
  A    Depends on several factors, what pellet it  is shooting, for one.

        DO NOT GET HUNG UP ON VELOCITY, it means nothing.
        FOOT POUNDS OF ENERGY means EVERYTHING !
        ( see blog for a detailed explanation )

  Q    HOW SOON CAN I EXPECT MY CUSTOM GUN ?
  A   USUALLY IN UNDER 90 DAYS, BUT IF YOU ASK FOR
           SOMETHING REQUIRING SPECIALLY BUILT PARTS
        ( ITEMS NOT EVER PRODUCED FOR ppg IN THE PAST )
         THEN IT CAN TAKE LONGER.
        A TYPICAL CUSTOM BUILT AIR GUN WILL TAKE 6 WEEKS

 HOW MUCH AIR PRESSURE DO THESE GUNS RUN ON
  THESE GUNS ARE FULLY ADJUSTABLE AND CAN BE
       CHARGED WITH ANYTHING UNDER 4000 PSI AND WILL
       PERFORM.  THIS IS DUE TO THE HAMMER SPRING USED
       AND THE POWER ADJUSTER. YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR
       OWN STARTING PRESSURE AT ANY TIME, IN SECONDS

 how many shots from a fill ?
again, that depends on several factors
     and is not possible to answer without
     specifics like, how long is the air tube
     ( the available air volume ), what fill
     pressure, at what foot pounds of energy
     the adjuster is set at, what caliber and
     weight of pellet, etc.

 IF I SUPPLY ALL THE PARTS, WILL YOU
      ASSEMBLE AND TUNE MY GUN ?
YES, THE CHARGE IS $100.00
      I WILL NOT, HOWEVER, ITEMIZE THE PRICE
      FOR EVERY DETAIL OF THE BUILD. I DO NOT
      HAVE THE TIME TO ANSWER 50 EMAILS
      CONCERNING ONE BUILD.
      IT SHOULD REQUIRE ABOUT 3 TO 4 EMAILS
      STATING WHAT YOU WANT DONE, AND I WILL
      DO IT, JUST SHIP YOUR GUN AND OR PARTS
      SEND PAYMENT, AND THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.
 
 Q. I do not see your phone number, what
      is it ?
 A.  you can have the phone number ONLY
      after you have sent an email. This is
      due to the frequent calls at odd hours
      and with questions that are answered
      HERE on this web site.


Q.  how many times can I email you with
      questions before you decide I am not
      a person you will want as a customer ?

 A. 10 emails is the cut off point, if you are 
      not educated enough on the subject of
      airguns, and have not become so after
      reading all that is offered on these web
      pages, and getting answers 10 times
      via my valuable time, then you will not
      be a person that will ever be satisfied
      with the products I offer.
       After 10 emails, and no purchase, I
      will stop responding.
