are they still making relum guns

Yes, Relums were made by FEG and appear to be still in production :-

I always thought they ceased protection a long time ago but
I've just found a dealer selling new LG527's. May be new very old stock though.

Yes. As above.

Site mentions gun production ceased

[VALE BOY]

In 2003 I visited the site of the FEG (Relum) factory in Budapest and they were no longer manufacturering Airguns ..... I think they were making lightbulbs by then.
Part of the factory had been converted to a small museum featuring Airguns but being a Friday afternoon it was closed.
I think it may have been possible that Relum Tornados and other models may have
been made elsewhere under Soviet rule, perhaps Czechoslovakia as well as in Hungary.
However, I'd be surprised if they are still making them to this day.

The Tornado was the first air rifle I ever bought, secondhand in 1967... It was like a Blunderbus, especially when you squirted some oil into the loading tap to deliberately make it diesel.

I've got a soft spot for them... got 3 at the moment, including a relatively newer model (80's?) with a poky wee non branded 4x32 scope, with which I hit the Quigley Bucket half a dozen times at the Boinger Bash last year. 👀😎

I have a couple of Tornados in bits at the moment, the two variations of trigger. Cannot be bothered to build them up, they are such poor performers. The FEG I remember the most is the PA-63, a copy of the PPK, they were so abundant in South Africa due to their cheap price.
