All Springer/NP/PCP Air Gun Discussion General > American/U.S. Air Gun Gates
I'm not gonna buy a Chinese gun. Period. No. No. No. But then what?
WilsonLR:
A little frustrated at the airgun market. Seems like the days of buying a quality wooden stock gun to hand down to the next generation is a thing of the past. Seems like now it's a throw it away and buy new every 5 years thing. Sure wish I'd gotten into it a long time ago. Anyway, I'm looking at getting a Benjamin 392 ... is there a multishot magazine out there like someone made for the Discovery?
trackerbuddy:
Without violating the no politics. We created this mess 20 years ago when we gave corporations tax breaks to move over seas. Now no one is happy with how it worked out.
If you want quality American made you'll have to go vintage and no the vintage 892's don't have a magazine. You could go vintage German or English or high end like an Airforce fun. Sorry no wood furniture
Bryan Heimann:
I agree. For quality made in USA in a new gun, pretty much it is AirForce PCP guns or something built in a high end/custom shop of some sort. Springers we have the SIG ASP20 and that is pretty much it. “Built in America” Benjamin’s are mostly foreign parts from China assembled in USA and supposedly held to higher QA/QC standards.
Oane:
Not all that home in American made airguns but aren't raw's made in America?
If you want something well made and made in the west you're going to pay prices that reflect the extra quality and the higher cost of materials, logistics, labour and the rest. And this counts for pretty much anything.
If you look further than American made I would recommend cometa Air rifles from Spain.
Hoosier Daddy:
There are places other than China...
Weihrauch (German) is an heirloom quality, wood and steel gun.
Some Diana's as well, but not all.
BSA from Great Britan, and the Spanish Cometa mentioned above...
But if you are looking for a Multi-Pump... you are very limited.
Get a Sheridan 'Streak, or an early Benjamin... good ones are still out there at fair prices if you are patient.
A soldered valve (early) 392P is a joy to shoot and still pretty much under the radar as collectible to most sellers... ;)
