If anyone offered me $1000 to tell them what was written on any of my airguns, I would be a poor man. It just doesn't matter to me at all.What matters is that they shoot tiny groups in paper and will hit a squirrel in the noggin.
Regardless of where it's made, if they couldn't have been bothered to check the spelling of stuff plastered on the OUTSIDE of the gun, how much attention would they pay to what's inside, that no one could see before they bought it? Spelling errors are a minor thing that can be overlooked, but they do give the impression of carelessness and lack of quality control. Plus, as mentioned, it makes it look cheap and Chinese whether it's so or not. And for me that's a BIG strike when there are others priced similarly that are proven, like the HW95. Just my take.
I did not notice before, but the riveted scope rail is gone. It is now machined directly into the compression tube. Diana did this briefly about 1975, using the riveted platform rail before and after. The Blue Line url volunteered by A Moron says their products are only available in Canada. They're a large company so they must have representation elsewhere for purchases south of the border.
Hmmm, so far I'm not getting a warm fuzzy feeling about the EMS.I really wanted to hear that the EMS was an improved version of the 34, not just you can swap barrels etc.For the record, I'm not considering this gun for it's flexibility, or adaptability, I want a smooth, accurate .22 springer.I won't be swapping anything, will shoot this gun as is from now on, with the exception I will tune, and may add a moderator.The only reason I considered something besides an HW, is because I have owned two .22 HW guns and I never got the accuracy I get with my .177's or .20's, so I was willing to try the EMS.

Had a bunch, none were any good. I'd like to have a decent .22 springer myself, but haven't made it enough of a priority yet, lol. I'm pretty happy hunting with my .177 junkers for now A Mod48 in .22 running at around 16fpe is a very nice shooting rifle, and easy to mount a sling to for hunting. They are shaped like planks but balance very well.
