Well, I had a little cabin fever and needed to take a staycation. So I planned a overnight roadie up the coast to the LA area. As a newbie I thought I would make a couple airgun stops for laughs and grins. (Second stop on another thread)I found out that Hammers was owned and distributed buy Wing-Sun Trading as mentioned above. I gave them a call and told them I'd be there midday.
Wing-Sun is on the second floor of office/warehouse building. The office is spacious, casually appointed, 4 or 5 desks spread out over the space, with a retail display wall behind all of the office area. The door was open so I just walked in and yelled, "Yo!". I got a "Yo!' response from the adjacent room and a guy walked out and said his name was Dan. I told him I was the guy who called and was looking for a mount. Yada, Yada, Yada...we chopped it up for a good half hour talking about airgun scopes and going over his display. There were probably 100 items on display as well as he had some prototype optics spread out on desks.
Okay, so why the long story? Well, I found Dan to be a straight shooting, casual, professional, business guy who was willing to talk shop with a walk in customer at his headquarters and warehouse. You guys may already know him and his operation but let me pass on my observations.
-Dan is a young guy and he is the owner and importer of Hammers Optics
-He is an Optics engineer and use to work for a optic manufacturer before starting his own company
-He specs his products and controls design and manufacturing
-If you have a Centerpoint variable mag scope, he is manufacturer
-He's a weekend and long time airgun lover
-....and most of all he welcomes airgun owner's input.
He said he welcomes and would love to get input from you guys!
So I told him I would pass on the info and let you guys do your thing.
So if you are in the LA area stop through and chop it up with him and his staff or give them a email shout and give him feedback on his products
Normally, there are 4 or 5 folks around the place between the warhouse and the office that can work with you.
I hope this is a legal post for this forum. Just a newbie passing on info.

Cool post Craig !!
There are a LOT of really good shooters in and around the LA area.
(And on this very forum!)
I hope he can handle all of the feedback now that you put the word out!
Cheers,
