    Combros - Where have they all gone?

    Cant seem to find them in stock anywhere, including Combro's own web site.

    Prices on are silly for used ones. Looked at quite a few retailers but all are sold out

    Have they stopped making them? Where can i get one?

    Cheers

    From another forum

    cb-625 ceased production last year. Problems obtaining the optics and programming the revised version of the processor. These problems might go away, but I think the remaining stock could be it. I do not have an exact count but I should have at least 500 left, maybe more. I am working on a new version, but I am an old man and all old men have plans.

    That'll explain it! And why a used one is going for £100 on an auction site !!!!!!!

    Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned how much they are going for! When I said £100 I meant £10. But I'll be generous and give you £20

    I reckon they could be a long term investment! Not many seem to live long without being shot to bits

    Glad I have two, excellent product. One has got to be 15 years old and still going strong.

    Combros are excellent albeit accepting their limited application within the firearms community.

    I had 2... sold 1 recently.

    The other is now linked to a blueshot.

    Its a brilliant bit of kit but its also very niche.

    I do not think Robin or his brother saw the benefit of developing it further like bluetooth and the like.

    Infra red beam for me is the most stable solution. Still not sold on the FX Radar....
    In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
    To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
