What can you tell me about this cocker?

It is a shocktech auto cocker, that is all the info I have. It comes with a SP tear drop barrel. How much is this worth? I do not know if it is timed, the guy wants 120 for it. Is this a good deal?



Thanks.

That's a very fair price. In fact with the cocker prices creeping up now that a lot of the product flood is not happening anymore I'd say it is priced at less than the current market value by maybe as much as $40 to $60 given the barrel and reg. Especially if it's in as good a condition as the picture seems to make it look to be.

nice price for a 99' cocker

looks like the ram is bent though - be sure it's the rame & not the place where it screws into on the front block

Fair price, looks like a 99, probably has a Danny Love trigger job based on what i've heard about 'em, so it's gonna be pretty smooth. I'd say it's worthwhile.

I asked the seller about the ram and he said

"just the picture it is mad to curve with the gun. this gun is flawless."

Good price you should buy it and slap a pump kit on it.

If the picture makes it look that way then why is the tip of the ram closer to the LPR body than the base of the ram? If it was a problem with the camera wouldn't the LPR look bent too? "Flawless" is a pretty tall claim for a 10 year old used gun. The price is good even if it needs some work but I'd be a little cautious that the seller isn't paying attention to all the little problems or he's being purposely deceptive.

I'd ask for more pics in different lighting and of all sides including front, back and top. Ask for pictures taken outdoors as the sunshine lets all the flaws show that a well placed camera flash will hide.

I'm not saying not to buy it or to try and get the price lowered but if it were me I wouldn't expect the gun to come out of the box as good as the picture and descriptions indicate. I've been thoroughly disappointed by similar pictures and descriptions in the past.

Furious, the reason the LPR doesn't look bent is because it's pretty much in the middle of the photo. Most low end digital cameras have sort of a fish eye effect when shot up close.
