When the forum got moved I couldn't get logged back in and have been so busy.....got a call from Gene today and got the skinny on how to get registered again....not much new other than my health hasn't been to good. Best Airgun is still going but we are starting to run out of some models of rifles due to BAM not shipping any to Xisicousa....B3-1AK's are gone, B9-1's also, have one B-40 in .177 left then they are done (do have two new actions complete) Look for a change in the Best site as the tune business will be listed there.................

Had a great talk with Mike this morning. Things are going to change over at Best Air as certain models will no longer be available. Once the dust settles Mike will be at the helm giving us all 120% like always.
For all of us who own Chinese air guns remember Mike still has a load of spare parts.
On a personal note I wish Mike the best. And thanks Mike for all you have done for the Airgun Community.

Likewise, best of luck to Mike!
Haven't done much in the way of business (never got around to sending in my B26-2 for the tune) but hoping it will still be an option in the future. You hate to see the real "good guys" getting a bad deal in life.

Good news! Hope your health improves. That stress doesn't help. I'm sure you can still make Best Airguns a success!
