Strange case of the disappearing air gun.........?

[Vetmx]

No idea who makes it. It is an oddity so I want it. 

I am emailing Beeman right now to see who their retail supplier is. This is getting interesting, who knows this may still be "the disappearing airgun"

The price for the gun is spot on for a curiosity gamble gun. Even if you have to do some refinements, you didn’t get hammered up front and have a gun you’re buried under after you’re finally happy with. Nothing worse than having to completely revamp a $500-$700 gun. I hope you can eventually get one.

Gut feeling it's an Artemis Diana Stormrider in an improvised bullpup stock. Hope the magazines are okay and not sucky-!

Is that an Artemis Diana Stormrider bullpup-? Hope they changed the crappy magazine-!

Problem on those mags is a sharp edge on the inside of the front plate. A couple of minutes with a dremel tool and a stone ball will fix it. Just be careful not to loose the spring when you take it apart.

Got some good news today for anyone that is following this thread interested in the Beeman Bullpup....PA has some that are set to arrive next week. So you should see them on the website next week. From what I am told, probably going to have some differences from the version shown in that SHOT video, but excited to check it out.

Awesome. I'll have to take a look at them.

Thank you Tyler.

Well. I let you all know that I sent off 3 emalis. Really thought Beeman would be the one to reply. Boy was I wrong, PA sent me back a reply. They wanted to know my freakin' phone number. WHAT THE &%\\

Artemis/Diana is made by Snowpeak. Snowpeak didn’t make anything that was rebranded as Beeman as far as I know. Shanghai Airgun Factory made the Beeman Chief’s and this under lever bullpup looks more like a Chief II in a bullpup stock to me rather than a Stormrider. Little different breech to accommodate for the under lever mechanism. I don’t know that the Chiefs share the same magazines as the Artemis guns. I could be wrong through. I never owned anything made by Snowpeak or Shanghai Airgun Factory. 
Looks like they added a shroud where the one featured at ShotShow wasn’t shrouded

I wish Tyler from PA will pop in here. Maybe give us the nickle tour on this gun. I just bought a new gun but may have to pick this one up to see whats it about.

I question how safe are these ultra cheap PCP's? The gold HP filter that grenaded on a AGN member comes to mind.
