Future of Benjamin airguns?

[seanfrev]

I recently received this email from Benjamin inquiring on the future of new product lines.... This was the quick response I received.

That's interesting
It makes me wonder if any new Crosman & Benjamin products will have to be imported from Arkansas

Hey now! Some of the best things in life are made by banjo players! Southern Girls in particular.

As long as it is NOT instant grits, which no self respecting southern will ever go near.

Grits is only as good as the butter you put on 'em!

Truth! I have heard grits described as "a butter and salt delivery device".

PCP is still being developed and produced in Bloomfield. And staying there.

I just hope they step up their game. They discontinued their most appealing options.

I'd like to see them resurrect the Sheridan brand as a new line of multipump pneumatics. Make them modular, with wood stocks, railed receivers and a threaded barrel. Made in USA would be nice, but so long as the quality is there I'd be happy with it.

That's good news! especially for the folks who currently work there.

Is the parts department remaining in upstate New York as well?

Thanks

Wish they would be more aggressive in the market with some new innovative stuff. kinda like Umerex. Nothing in their new stuff really moves the needle, IMO.

I wish they would stop racing to the middle and make a Gen 3 Marauder that was a tier one gun for the PCP crowd, equal to any mechanical Daystate or FX. They should also make a springer as good or better than an HW. I know, I know, it's never going to happen, and it is a shame.

An American springer as good or better than an HW would be an amazing thing!

Maybe if they just bought out any patents for the Sig Asp. No need to reinvent the wheel.

True! I can't believe Sig went through all the trouble to make that airgun and then dropped it. It had a superior hinge system process too. They just needed a better marketing campaign, and to sponser and win a few field target matches with it.

Win on Sunday, sell on Monday. Some things do not change.

Wonder about future parts for the craftman series... decent looking rifles

Benjamin/Crosman will be fine. They haven’t quite priced themselves out of range and their products that I’ve bought work well.
