Not to be disrespectful, but I wouldn't be too sure about the grim future of the basic springer. Just think about how many new shooters get introduced to the sport by picking up a Gamo at their local Walmart... PCPs are typically an upgrade for some, while others move on to firearms or remain content to simply have a springer.
I’m not sure about Wall Mart selling Gamos .. every wall mart I’ve been to has one tiny area of Crossman 766 type guns and one Phantom break barrel with a selection of . 5 tins 177 pellets.. hidden locked in glass so the Green earth ears are happy lead is away from them.
kids don’t shop at wall mart. Amazon is all they know.
Sorry not trying at all argue , I build my own break barrels from scratch as you know.. custom guns , using Rekord or CD TRIGGERS , with custom stocks AND INTERNALS. Not even adults want to pay for what one would cost.
Most here will be crippled when Macarri and Vortek quit. Both are past 60 and are it for springs .. I know Macarri won’t sell his Namesake or suppliers to anyone. His ego is in the way. Tom has iterated the same .. No one has shown any interest in the future or the business…. Kids are influencers .. Tic Tockers , hell they can’t even decide if they want to be a boy or a girl.
we are at the dinosaurs, and we are going extinct.
