Tom at HP Pneumatics said the tariffs finally hit FX and their prices would be going up across the board at all dealers due to MAP pricing. Plus even though someone in charge thinks some businesses should eat those costs that isn’t how it works. I guess we will see. Just going off what the owner of HP said on YouTube.

Sweden isn’t solely effected.

Like Jackie Gleason would say “mere bag of shells” but then I am betraying my age… 64 years young…

I bought Alkin B4 tariff.
So 10% on $2199 (FX M4 list price) is $220
But 10% on $1430 is $143 ( assuming) UA / HP/ Talon gets 35% off “list.”

At least they had the courtesy to round to the nearest dollar.

Same here, gasoline prices go up the next day, but take more than a month to drop down.

If people buy them they will keep jacking up prices, tariffs or not. Used guns are just as good as a shiny new ones, you just cant say you bought the newest greatest toy. Airguns are like cars a money losing proposition no matter how happy spending your cash makes you.

Hunker down, just wait what is coming next! The expendable income is coming to a very fast end! LOL

this is correct. Protest with wallet.

The only FX I really had any interest in was a DRS, but it’s not a necessity. A Daystate Huntsman would fill the role of a DRS Classic while looking just as good, honestly. Sucks to see prices go up regardless…

Remember the Tarriff is not on retail
Price. It’s on the wholesale / bulk price. I don’t know what the margins are but assuming 25% then the 10% Tarriff on a 2000 retail rifle is 150.00. If it’s going up by 200.00. Someone in the chain is making more money than pre Tariff.

And I'm willing to guess they would not ever lower the price again should tarrifs change. Certain types of businesses always take advantage of opportunities to parasitize their supporters - pretty perverse. Good ones to avoid in my opinion... seems to be a problem mainly when companies get a certain level of size / reputation, they no longer feel like they have to respect anybody. Individual customers become disposable.

I don't know enough about FX to know if this applies, but it might.
