    Depends which company you ask it too and from which country?

    I'd like to know how FWB are still going after the shocking things I've seen recently with their Sport rifle.

    Stop buying them

    AA4** is still one of the most popular sellers so why would they spend money to change it

    Sticks out about two inches, was shortened at the breach end, it doesn't droop with a silencer attached like the original when the figure of eight is removed

    Because its unsafe perhaps....
    Its a luckwit idea to begin with.
    Cost saving over safety is NOT A DEFENCE perhaps
    I dont buy them

    Daystate, why didn't you make the simple cut out on the magazine to load pellets, earlier ?
    Probably to cover the cost of tooling they had to initially order several thousand, which they were not going to scrap when the fault was found.

    I admit that I have not read all the posts here but what strikes me is that the majority are based on a negative message in that they are telling the manufacturer they have got something wrong and they had better correct it. I think this is the wrong way to go about it. Put a positive slant to the comment. Put the comment, e.g walnut stocks are very nice, and ask if there is a reason why a walnut stock is not being offered, or ' is there a reason why a single shot tray is not being offered ...'. Make it so that the potential change you are after is seeded in the manufacturer's mind. Do not berate the manufacturer for not having done it ... they may not have thought about it, there may be a good reason why it has not happened. Seek advice and information.
    Just my thoughts mind ...
    Cheers, Phil

    There is nothing wrong in cutting the bullshit and cutting to the chase.
    If its a serious issue loke AA putting a safety on a trigger then waiting for an accident..... followed by years of ignoring their customers....

    If manufacturers are told an adjustable cheek and butt would be important and the end user is willong to pay....

    Why is there any need to sugar coat, gloss and glitter and fawning phrsses.

    As a community, shooters tend to be quite robust and soade callerz.

    I aint gonna try positive spin psychology.

    There isnt any need mor does it bring anything to the party imho
