Daisy bought out Crosman

[boscoebrea]

Rats, an old-fashioned term used to mean,darn-it or doggone,or chit, usually more harm than good .
Was used in old movies and is not to be confused with the term rats as used in gangster movies meaning a squealer

Hmmm, interesting this explains why its taking Crosman sooo long to get the foam they owe me delivered. Hopefully this doesn't change the Custom Shop option.

 

[Airitis]

Does this mean my pre-daisy crosmans have all gone up in value now?!? Lol

I wonder if the new letterheads will read "GAMO Daisy Crosman"?

Crosman barreled BSAs.

Who would want a BSA with a crosman barrel on it?

 

[SilentSquirrel]

I sure hope this does not screwup the parts services & availability out of East Bloomfield NY

New for 2025...the Dairosmo multi pump pcp....use the foregrip to pump like any other. Just do it 1200 times to fill the onboard 3k cylinder. Uses 12 round magazines to carry ammo (pellets must be removed from magazine and loaded 1 at a time. Magazine for transport only)

This isn't good....

I guess it be read both ways but it was intended to mean a Crosman (airguns) barrelled with a BSA barrel.

Hopefully they'll leave well enough alone.

Has anyone checked the parent company for DEI policy compliance (like Boeing has)?

Geez,

J~

My main concern would be, easy to get Crosman parts may not be so easy to get any more.

I’ve already run into this with a Gen 2 Marauder. I ordered parts from 3 businesses to get what I needed to seal up a 25 cal Marauder. I still have yet to find the new style gauge block adapter for the new style pressure gauge.

I can almost hear the sound of premiers going up in price.

I can almost hear the sound of premiers going up in price.

And will they be the same as they are now....or will they be consolidating all ammo manufacturing for gamo. Daisy, and crosman to 1 facility to save a buck while keeping the rights to the cphp branding.

I wonder if the good will part of the sale to Daisy for Crosman's name recognition was offset by the bad will that came with Gamo's.

Just look what happened to the Delta rocket program after Boeing bought Douglas.

Douglas never lost money when the delta program was in Huntington Beach plant.

Hopefully something good comes out of it, but I’m a little dubious.

Maybe have Daisy concentrate on traditional BB guns and multi-pump BB guns, Crosman could sell their budget friendly modular guns and CO2 replicas, Gamo could concentrate on springers and Benjamin and BSA could work the higher end PCPs.

The problem I see occurring is that they’ll likely decide to roll the different models into one. Why produce both a Daisy 880 and a Crosman 760? You know it’s going to happen to some degree and while I think both Daisy and Gamo have contributed to airgunning, their contribution hasn’t even been close to that of Crosman in recent years. I might have some gripes about the quality of certain Crosman products, but you can’t deny that Crosman has been a major innovator and produces an enormous variety of products.

I’d much rather see this the other way around with Crosman buying out Daisy/Gamo. There just aren’t that many Daisy/Gamo products out there that I would really miss, but there are plenty of Crosman products that I would.

Funny, I was thinking exactly what you said except switching the names around. I suppose there are Crosman people and Daisy people. Kind of like Chevy folks and Ford folks.

I guess my big question is the fate of the American jobs and production facility.
