    Magazine springers?

    Why have Weihrauch, or Air Arms for that matter, never developed a magazine springer in the style of the Theoben SLRs / BSA Goldstars?

    Surely it would be a smash hit, no?

    I think it might have a limited appeal worldwide and the development/ production costs would outweigh the profit margin

    Air arms can't even be bothered to make a new break barrel (which would sell far more than a mag fed springer) let alone develop something that would not sell that much, you can blame multi shot PCP's for that.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Magazines on airguns are like drinks holders in sports cars...

    Or drinks holders on hats.
    Some V-glide 80's, V-glide Tomahawk and a couple of Rapids
