Cometa air guns

I have heard good things about Cometa. Here is a link. Read their "Our Take" review: http://www.straightshooters.com/cometa-fenix-400-air-rifle-.177.html

It's a shame that Cometa and Norica have such a small presence in the U.S. I think Air Force is the Cometa importer now IIRC, and from what I can see they offer little support for the brand. I have contacted them several times as to the availability of spare parts and received no response. You would think that these manufacturers would show a greater interest in importers and distributors that would push their brands harder. Even more established brands are not well represented here in my opinion. No American dealers that I'm aware of carry the HW80 and 90 carbine models. And the Diana brand has some models not available here and many variants of available models can't be had here either. The importers and distributors are the problem I think. Check out M&G website and see for yourself. Sorry for the hijack.

Ya a sub $300 gun with a hammer forged barrel? Not going to find that in a typical big box store gun. Humm starting to sound very tempting!

I love my RWS model 94, made under contract by Cometa. Very similar to the Comita Fenix 400. Very accurate and hard hitting, great trigger as well.

I got the Cometa Lynx, I don't know what to say because, I don't own a gun that is as popular as FX, AirArms, Daystate or Weihrauch to compare to, all I can say is I like it, my first bottle gun, short rifle, not as heavy as hatsan AT44, very accurate too.

I had the RWS-94 .177 a few years ago also. I liked the rifle and regret selling it. It was very accurate and smooth. A few notes: The sear on mine broke in two and had to be replaced. I heard at the time that this is a somewhat common occurence. There is no scope stop, there is a hole on the top of the compression tube, but it is not for a scope stop. I used a one piece mount and never had problems, but just so you know. The trigger blade is plastic, it's a nice trigger but if plastic bothers you then you'll want to know. Because I liked it so much I bought the Cometa Fusion .22 which was the same action in an upgraded stock but with a barrel shroud and baffles. I had problems with pellets nicking the baffles.

That's interesting. The Crosman 3100/Cometa was recalled for sear problems. I have one around here somewhere. One of our sons used to like to shoot it. They were available in the early 80's. Nothing fancy. Looks similar to a FWB 124. But it's far from it. Safety on the rear of the compression tube. Cometa is more popular in Spain and South America.

Hello KWK, I just found a Crosman 3100 / Cometa that I gave to my son back in the early 80’s, l believe they have A leather main spring seal, do you still have the user manual for yours? I’m trying to figure out what the suggested oil is and how many drops to lubricate that seal, I’m sure this is a long shot, but I can’t find any manuals for it anywhere ... thanks! This little rifle used to shoot extremely well, very accurate, fun quiet air gun

I don't. I never had the manual. It's a Cometa 100 if that helps. This is a parts diagram

Thank You KWK ... for taking the time to answer my question. I'm going to use the information from the lubrication of air guns video on Pyramyd Air to get this oiled up. And thanks for the tip on it being a Cometa 100 and the parts link
