My new baby is home, and I am happy.
« on: May 26, 2018, 09:57:51 PM »
Here is the short story for you guys.
Few days ago I decided to buy me a Rami with the D-cocker. As you know, finding it new - mission impossible.
I posted here that I want to buy one, and the next day one guy sent me the PM, stating that he has one.
I asked him how many shots, and he said 68.  ::)
I asked him how much, and he said 600 bucks (shipped).  However - there was a small potential problem :
This dude had ZERO posts.  ::)
I contacted my gun guru from here (Eastman) to ask him about his opinion, and he got back to me with the answer that I expected :
"Stay away - scam". He recommended some guy here that is also selling Rami.
I got back to that dude asking him how does he want to go about it, (given the fact that he has ZERO posts  O0) and he got back to me with : post or no posts, we have to go via FFL, so you will be paying my dealer, and my dealer will be shipping it to yours.
He gave me his dealers name, I checked them out and all looked legit.
So I decided to bite the bullet. Called his dealer, payed $ 600 with my credit card, and waited. 4 days later, I got the gun.
Very nice gun, and you could tell - very low mileage.
Yesterday I went shooting with it. Shoots great. I shot around 100 rounds of Blazer 124 gr and Federal HST 124 gr. Not a single glitch.
Today I installed Cool hand grips and new screws. This one is a keeper !  ;D

You win some, you lose some. With this one, I think I got lucky. Thanks Matt !

Very nice! Glad to hear it wasn't a scam. How do you like the grips? I'm thinking about getting the same ones.

Thanks. Grips are OK. Nothing special.
If you buy the ones they specify it's for 2075 Rami, it will be crap shoot is it going to fit your D-cocker (if you have one) or not.
I had to modify mine.
On my PCR I have LOK grips and I like them much better than Cool Hand.

Nice gun congratulations. And glad it all worked out on the up and up. It's really a great shooting little gun and carries pretty easy for me.
I've changed out the grips, trigger & return spring along with a CGW floating trigger pin, but don't think I'll be tinkering with much else.

I bought the same CH grips in Coyote color and they came with the new D-cocker mod as advertised. Amazon.com came through again, lol.
I have zero complaints with the quality or grip texture, my issue is that it's a fat little gun and I would now really prefer a thinner set of grips but I haven't looked into that yet so I've no idea if that's even an option for the 2075.

Enjoy your new gun!


Here's mine for grip color comparison.

Looks good.  Congrats on a great gun.  My RAMI BD has been a little tank since ?09. [emoji41]

Great, you did your due diligence and it paid off.

Probably about 15 years ago I sent a guy 3/4 of the country away $7300 for a 1980 Ducati 900 Super Sport motorcycle...only viewing a photo he sent and speaking on the phone some.

I was foolish and didn't know better at the time. Not a sad ending though, bike came shipped on a pallet to my place of work, rode it home after gassing it up...still have it to this day and probably could get twice what I paid...but a foolish move non-the-less.

Glad all worked out for you. Not sure if this is a true statement anymore but..."People are basically honest." Always has been debatable but what with the Internet is probably less true than in years past.
