Yes and no, the price drops will not reach the level of price increase.

Once consumers adjust to a higher new "normal" price structure any downward adjustment will be seen as positive and that level will be accepted as the new "normal". So a full reduction is not required and net profit will be increased overall.

Current example being gasoline prices. Reductions have been limited to around 70% of overall increases.

Are you sure you didn’t use [email protected] ? That one recently got kicked back to me undeliverable. [email protected] worked and they responded pretty promptly

There is a thread somewhere here where someone found some burnt out electrical parts on the inside and was able to fix it. Just in case yours eventually dies. I actually really like the external supply setup. I look at that converter as a disposable commodity. If it dies just trash it and order another one. No tearing into the compressor. Mine has been going over two years.

Don't mess with them old mutants,, Sell them to me and buy you a new gun,,,,

Looking for the 177 mutants,,,,

Don’t necessarily agree. I either have or have had all, well at least a daystate electric gun. You really can’t beat it for ease of tuning. It’s brainless and certainly waaaaay easier than changing an AGT.

Must add this edit as I’m not a slug shooter. If you are primarily a slug shooter you may very well be correct.

The base economic driver of inflation 2020 to current was energy.
Barrel of oil cost:
2010-2014 was $70-$110
2020-2024 was $70-$80

Gasoline (regional variations are significant)
2010-2014 $2.55-$3.50
2020-2024 $3.35-$4.65

Diesel, primary shipping fuel, was even greater variation. First base cost of material or finished goods in US is shipping.

Net profit by oil companies was record levels 2022-2024 (post pandemic).

Tariff driven inflation will be dependent upon a lot of factors, level and time being to two largest variables. Unknown future variables like breadth and regions could factor highly. Quarterly inflation could be as high as 4-5%. There are too many unknowns at this point to model the effects with any level of certainty.

There is already a drop in purchase of capital equipment by domestic manufacturing. Survey of purchasing managers is ongoing. That is a leading factor for determining domestic economic trends.

Economic uncertainty is causing companies to reevaluate purchasing decisions.

Economic outlook could be a significant downturn. GDP will be negatively affected. For how long or how much, again, cannot be modeled with any level of certainty.

Wow , Thats some pretty crazy stuff,,

I've sent dozens of my converted Notos down to Florida for Iguana removal, they wanted 850-875fps with 18.1gr pellets and a minimum of 100 shots per fill.

.36l bottle, Cricket drop-block, plenum, ported to 4.5mm and removal of the moderator housing, threaded barrel and the 9" Silent Kill moderator (new).

It dropps Iguanas.....

How much ? And how long will it take to be sent !

Hello. I haven't touched Daystate, I can only say that it looks great. However, I can tell you a lot about Fx and AGN. AGN literally shoot straight out of the box, however it depends on what settings it came out of production in and for which country with the relevant restrictions. You have to consider what you will be shooting (cup or slug) and possibly determine the weight of the ammunition for the corresponding good grouping velocities. In Bulgaria, the preferred rifle is the Vulkan 3 long, regardless of caliber 22, 25 and 30. We shoot slugs en masse, in caliber 22 to 40 grains. This rifle is designed for slugs, the regulator is usually left at around 170 bars and shoots 37-40 grain slugs at almost 975 -1000 fps. The grouping is great, more noticeable at distances of 200 + meters. The O-rings are very few as a consumable, they rarely leak air. Due to the single-point attachment of the stock to the base, it is prone to wobble, a very unpleasant feeling, also the reloading is relatively loose and with gaps, it is irritating for me. But, apart from that, the work of the polygonal barrel, regulator and valve, they are simply impeccable. As for the Fx, they are simply refined in detail. Yes, sometimes it is difficult to quickly adjust it to shoot well with the factory settings. You have to touch the regulators, micro and macro settings, the barrel has to stabilize well when shooting with heavy slugs, but still everything is achievable. Owners or candidates for these Fx rifles need to be a little more technically literate and deal with more frequent maintenance and adjustments, it is not an option for them to send the rifle to a gunsmith every time they want to change the setting to shoot a different slug, for example. They need a set of tools, knowledge and persistence for support. Let's not forget the unique ability to change calibers with Fx, this is a very big + for them. I have a Maverick, tested in 22 and 30 caliber with a heavy liner, it shoots very well. And I also bought him an Alpha Precision in 25 cal. He shoots a laser with it. It's all a matter of good adjustment, nothing else matters!!! This is how we have fun in Bulgaria, see the pictures below!!!

Maybe production will slow as demand does and seems to have but I doubt they will go away completely. I don’t think the wildcat/maverick platform will either. All these platforms offer much better modularity than the dynamic block guns. Sure there are many that is important too. For most average shooters the older platforms do plenty. Leopard looks and seems cool but it honestly offers nothing to me personally that my wildcat BT won’t do.

historical reality is that across the board tariffs do not work.

the statement jobs will be created is also not true.
jobs require infrastructure and trained employees and for the most part do not exist any more.

the other issue is that domestic companies will increase prices to match the price increases of imported comparable products.

and watch the increase in inflation, this time the government really is the cause of increased inflation

I mean they were responsible before this too 100%. However, I agree with basically everything thing else in your post 100% . Hopefully these tariffs will be more of a leveraging tool to negotiations ultimately leading to better deals across the board. In that manner tariffs are a useful tool but in general as a basic across the board policy you are correct about what history shows. The problem so far is the intentions of these tariffs has been really unclear. I believe that has created a lot of market uncertainty. We will have to wait and see how this all goes.

What u talking about man…
I send all day those H&N exite 7.4gr the cheapest pellet available on pa and they shoot super fine…
yeah with gk1 I just learned to keep the pistol at a certain angle and u will be fine with no pellet sliding into the barrel type issues while turning The mag for refill…

Prayers right now.

Something wrong with my phone I can't even load pics instead of going to files like it used to it goes to drive. If you go on YouTube , and type in FX FACTORY TOUR it pops right up.
