I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Springers are on their way out. Our age group is the only ones that shoot them. We don’t have any youth shooting springers , let alone shooting alone.

To do it right you’re gonna have to have a quarter million dollars worth of inventory. No one‘s gonna invest that because you’ll lose money in today’s market.

Not to be disrespectful, but I wouldn't be too sure about the grim future of the basic springer. Just think about how many new shooters get introduced to the sport by picking up a Gamo at their local Walmart... PCPs are typically an upgrade for some, while others move on to firearms or remain content to simply have a springer.

No-one's gonna' come out of this unscathed, I'm afraid. Big changes that come on rapidly, typically come with chaos and hard times. I'm not challenging anyone to an argument. I'm not even saying that these tariffs are a bad idea. I'm just saying that none of us will get through this without at least some hardship in our lives. The world is rather precariously balanced these days.

I’m not sure about Wall Mart selling Gamos .. every wall mart I’ve been to has one tiny area of Crossman 766 type guns and one Phantom break barrel with a selection of . 5 tins 177 pellets.. hidden locked in glass so the Green earth ears are happy lead is away from them.
kids don’t shop at wall mart. Amazon is all they know.

Sorry not trying at all argue , I build my own break barrels from scratch as you know.. custom guns , using Rekord or CD TRIGGERS , with custom stocks AND INTERNALS. Not even adults want to pay for what one would cost.

Most here will be crippled when Macarri and Vortek quit. Both are past 60 and are it for springs .. I know Macarri won’t sell his Namesake or suppliers to anyone. His ego is in the way. Tom has iterated the same .. No one has shown any interest in the future or the business…. Kids are influencers .. Tic Tockers , hell they can’t even decide if they want to be a boy or a girl.
we are at the dinosaurs, and we are going extinct.

My 2ed meme of the day ...lol

Ya, thing id you pay thf price for like a hw cause it had long term maintenance parts to keep it going unlike gamo thats pretty much use ,abuse and chunk it when its kaput .

So now if your not able to conveniently get parts to upkeep the higher end custom tune hw gun. It pretty much drops to gsmo level at a much more inflated price ..

How much longer is ArH going to be around .. does he have a pass it on to person lined up or gone is gone?

Who said anything about springers? Robert Beeman marketed PCP as well. But anyway.
All three of our sons shoot. 20, 24, and 28. No wonder other young people don't. They don't even have a family to get them involved. So our sport shrinks. A lot of them do buy 9mm's FWIW. Maybe some day adults will take marriage first and then family seriously again.

Sadly ,Karl.. you are correct. We are suffering the poison acorns that were planted that grew into the poison oaks we have today.

BTW the big hit is the fact that the de minimis exemption on orders under $800 was ended. We were getting imports duty free. (Krales)
It's killed the cheap "direct from China" eBay stuff you could buy as well.
How will this play out? Will there be exemptions? IDK
Contact a congressman or two.
But Do not go to a "mostly peaceful protest".

Best thing to do is contact a legislator and lobby for exemptions!
Do it now before the "de minimis exemption" executive order takes effect on the 29th of August.
