Check out the "Professional air gun barrel factory" ...whoah ! looks like a side alley operation..

All the characteristics of a sweat shop...but no matter...now you know where and how your barrel was "born" ;-) ...Is that the father ?? LOL !

All thing can be copied ( right or wrong ) and it can bevery hard to figure out who really makes every part of everything.

AF uses their barrels? AF say's LW so?

Listone say's the barrel which very likely would fit an AF rig (?) fit's their "FIRE ARROW -- fantasy edition" a very AF looking rig but with many differences.

And is this or is it different then the one most of use are used to seeing?

Now this one is interesting and does seem to imply ( ya that's it ) crosman

I am thinking these folks made the original "lother" ( not LW) used one the career 707's and they were excellent.

Listone is not anywhere near a fly-by-night company. They are the largest retailer, and manufacture of airgun products in Taiwan. Almost everything they sell, they make in house. 

I've had a bit of trouble with quality control with a few of their products, but not their airguns. Fact is, they're a typical Pacific Rim manufacturer, good, bad, or ugly as the case may be.

...Heck, would be great for AF to publish their Lothar Walther press announcement like Listone has done ;-) ; pics are from 2015..so perhaps things have changed at AF ? 

Anyway - the Twitter posting is public info., and readers can make up their own minds about what's what despite what anyone else says, since its all there...

Interesting that side alley operation can crank out with that kind of machinery...stuff...like this....actually it's an eye opener....

Consumer needs & should know what parts are made where.. so you know who you support when spending your $

Ive refrained from casting a critical eye or said anything to hurt anyone's pride & joy and will leave it at that..
