Does anyone know if Tuxing and Air Marksman are made by the same manufacturer? or if they work together in some sort of capacity? I'm asking because I wanted to buy an Air Marksman air cylinder and my local airgun shop tried to sell me a Tuxing air cylinder 580cc for $400 and say that it's an Air Marksman and the only difference is that it says "Tuxing" on the bottle. To my knowledge, Tuxing is a completely different brand than A.M.
N/A is TUXING the same as AIRMARKSMAN?

No idea but 400 is insano land as the tuxing cylinder can be had on Amazon for just over 100 bucks. I bought one from there and seems as good as anything.

It is a different brand altogether.
I have both and while the Tuxing is ok it is not as concentric (true in the round dimension) as the Airmarksman.
Different nipple taper as well.

Thats what the guy at the shop showed me. He had another bottle that had Airmarksman logo on it and showed me how it has the same ALSAFE logo as Tuxing. If thats the case then why the huge price difference between TUXING and Airmarksman? to me it sounds like they are the big umberlla manufacturer and tuxing and Airmarksman further customize the bottle to their specifications, just my guess.

I did the same shortly after leaving the shop and it said some tuxing bottles can have AM logos, and vice versa; then i asked again the next day and it back tracked saying they were different. I called Utah airguns and they told me they were 2 diff companies with their own standards and testing protocols. But both bottles are apparently manufactured by ALSAFE since they both carry that badge on them, so i still dont understand the $300 price difference.

Probably the Walmart phenomenon. Samsung makes TVs for Walmart stores specifically in the same factory as their other TVs. There is no outward difference. But to make them Walmart affordable there are some liberties takes in the manufacturing process to keep cost down. Probable the same deal.
