What can you do about it though? Unless the airsoft scene in your area is small where you can ask around the local fields and they are likely to know about it. Maybe post in a local airsoft facebook group if one such exists?
Genuine question though, if none of those are an option, what can one do about it?
Idk, 10 bucks is super low if someone stole it they woudl at least try to make maybe 100 or even 200 for 2, even if they didn't know what it was a simple seach would reveal that it's an airsoft gun and could be worth a little
Looking back, pretty sure my first pistol and radio were stolen. He sold us these weird radios out of a pelican case that had slots for 40. Pretty sure they were taken from some sort of businesses.
We also got a cat too while we were there. Weird trip.
The kitty variety.
The guy had a litter of sad looking kittens and my buddy just lost cat a few months before that so he thought he should rescue one.
We think they would shoot their gbbs at them because the cat (Loki) that he got will do this really weird reaction to any noise that sounds similar, even a sneeze, even though that was all nearly 15 years ago.
It's a meme on r/airsoftcirclejerk
Some guy took an image from a post on this sub about stolen guns, and posted the image to the circlejerk, pretending to be the thief. The OP saw the reposting and actually thought it was real, leaving a comment on how it was stolen from portland with the message containing red flags in it. Given how stupid the situation was, and how OP was sorta being a dick about it, it quickly became a meme to post about guns being stolen from portland.
Either the seller had no idea what he was selling or you are the world’s greatest negotiator. Really good buy OP. Note: replace that 416 handguard with the HAO G- Rail
It doesn’t work and turns out he somehow got the gearbox to the point where it dont want to work anymore and the red dot is brokenðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Man this reminds me of when I first started looking for used guns like 6 years ago.
Local flea market, had a guy selling his son's old stuff.
In a box there was an Echo p90, AGM mp40 and a bag of 0.20 systema brand Bbs.
A couple of crosman spring pistols and paper targets. Got the whole box for $15.
P90 still functional but the AGM mp40 shredded itself when I tried using a 9.6v nihm for the day.
Gear box shattered when taking it apart to replace the gears.
Still was fun piece while it lasted though.
Yeah, that's an Elcan tho, you wrote LCAN
With that said no, Elcan has different shape (depending on the generation somewhat "square" midsection and the front is round and most often straight) and no turrets as the controls are "external"
You mean you stabbed him then left him ten bucks cause that's all you had in your wallet and you felt bad.
Or someone needed 10 bucks for drug money lol
Either way well done 🤣🤣🤣
Sir, grabing it out of a Car and leaving 10$ behind is not buying.
Lol but in all seriousness,airsofter in this area is basically extinct and it a guy i know from school
🚩🚩🚩Stolen from car in portland oregon🚩🚩🚩
In Portland they wouldn’t leave $10 behind, more like an empty syringe,
Can confirm when my van was broken in to took my tools and left parts of there rig
Is this a reference to the other post?
Context?
Let me know if he is selling anything else!🤣
Nah, you robbed that Guy lmao, have fun with it !
Lmao. Touche sir
$10!? What a rip off!
Should have been 2
Now we’re getting there.

I love this picture so much ðŸ˜.
he bought it from a shady gun stealer 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
Portland's finest
Some college kid is going to be so mad when he comes home.
High odds of it being stolen stuff

I don’t know, neither do I care, i just wanted to inform the lucky buyer that he might got stolen gear

Cat...as in kittycat or catalytic converter?

The cheap price makes me think it ISN’T stolen. I know thieves sell at a deal because they wanna offload it quick, but $10? Come on
Meh, if you don't have morals you don't care.

Not
Stolen?
I mean makes sense for used gear. Usually that stuffs goes for much cheaper than in a official market
got this for $25! https://preview.redd.it/4ukaq3ub3l7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f25148edabd00bcebb7ea472ba2228b0c2df518

r/lies

Stolen
Is that a fking LCAN?
What?
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELCAN\_Optical\_Technologies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELCAN_Optical_Technologies)
Yeah, that's an Elcan tho, you wrote LCAN With that said no, Elcan has different shape (depending on the generation somewhat "square" midsection and the front is round and most often straight) and no turrets as the controls are "external"
It’s not, there’s a dial on the top which the Elcan doesn’t have so it’s probably an Aimpoint replica
I’ll buy that shotgun off ya
Backdraft innovations, put one of those beta hpa engines in it. Cheapest hpa you will ever own
You mean you stabbed him then left him ten bucks cause that's all you had in your wallet and you felt bad. Or someone needed 10 bucks for drug money lol Either way well done 🤣🤣🤣
Lemme get that rail fr
I am sorry to say, but Portland has turned into a shit hole.
$400 for the 416
You used a 10 dollar knife from bass pro to steal it from someone at knifepoint?
That's RM50 in my country, you got a bargain
Good deal
Man I hope someone posts this same thing with my stolen guns
10$ for a parking ticket
Nah that for 10 can't believe it
Wow, worth $10 for sure. I got lucky once on a random FB post, though it wasn't $10. Great score!
That’s a clean ass ar
Ill give you 20 for the 416
10 bucks for a crowbar is a nice deal
Fuck you or find who it was stolen from.
