The US market must have been fairly hard to crack for European manufacturers 30-40 years ago .
I look at it like this .
In the uk air weapons have always been popular , the spring powered rifle was generally speaking a young lads introduction to shooting .add to this our strict licensing to own a firearm you can see why air rifles remain popular, the choice over here is vast .
Now compare the US your gun laws are totally different, why shoot air when you can shoot pretty much whatever you like .
I can understand why air rifles may have took longer to gain a following with customers in the states.
Dr beeman did a very good job to raise the profile of the air rifle , great man .
Thank you all for a warm welcome .
here is one of my rifles made in Birmingham just like me .
Webley Tomahawk 22
you will buddy
