22 Sidewinder = baby rattler

AOA Might be a problem
I put my deposit down on the Sidewinder, I do not need the big lead of the Rattler in my 48 yard back yard.
Truthful I am getting a little nervous on the deal, I bought a Uragan from AOA about a year ago went to buy parts for it and was told we don't service or stock or sale AGT guns or parts, It would suck to have a warranty issue ,, The Huban is looking pretty dam good.

Fortunately I have only needed to replace o'rings of my air rifles that taking the original one to the o'ring store, they measure it and give me 20 of them, for peanuts.

I just had to change the hammer spring from my Bantam Sniper. 25 Cal that got broken. I took the original one and bring it to a spring manufacturer and made two of them. They were ready the following day and, again, for peanuts. The rifle works better than new.

Warranty is needed for electronic rifles. There you are lost in the middle of Sahara without a whole replacing module or of the mother board.

Yes I have used ZX 10 , I think he just does excellent work and warranty work, I will ask if he can order parts for the Uragan, Its nice to have a airgun smith in state.
But my question what if AOA sells the Rattler , Sidewinder brand and after the sales decides to dump the brand and no one else carries the brand??

I suspect this is less likely than with some other brands, given that (As far as i can tell) AoA and Western Airguns (the maker of the Rattler and Sidewinder) are under common ownership.
