10.5gn made in Spain...hmmm

[Mike_Lenardon]

Just a quick look, not really liking what I'm seeing.
They look very similar to the new Crosmans 14.3gn .22. Very pointed.
Weight wise 10.4 to 10.7
Length, original .265 average. New .298 average
About as clean/dirty as the original 10.5s
Tins now have an adhesive paper label.

Orig 10.5 on right, new 10.5 center, new .22 cal 14.3 on left

Orig skirt on right, new on left.

Well that's all I have for now.

That skirt with the odd weight distribution will garuntee they suck. That's really too bad, I'm mad I gave away logs of cphp last year. I think crosman as a brand is going to be spiked by gamo.

Same here, i shouldve kept my old cphp stash and i gave them away also. Corporate assassination of the crossman brand. RIP crossman.

I wonder where all the crosman equipment went. Obviously the equipment was not sent to Spain. Maybe someone here in the US scooped it up and will open a small business. That's not going to happen,,,bummer. Crosman pellets were accurate enough for a lot of us. I dont think that's the case anymore.

In my opinion, International trade is in turmoil and it's a wait and see situation. Daisy and GAMO may have made some pretty bad business choices.
I think there may be some good opportunities here in the US.

Ya, the .22 GPHP kinda rough .

The .177 hp are daisy hp in a crosman tin . There not bad and cleaner shooting.

I hope that this is a stop gap on the Spanish pellets while gamo maybe disassemble and move the pellet operation from NY to there usa home base in Arkansas. So hopefully fingers crossed once that started up we get back to more a genuine CPHP usa pellet again...
