What % of UK manufactured PCPs are exported?

[Chris St. MH]

I'm not expecting anyone to give away commercially sensitive info (ie how many guns they make), but I'd still like to know how dependent our airgun manufacturers are on their domestic market.

More than 1!

Sorry, can't help, but couldn't resist that!

Cheers.

Use it as leverage with the company in question to aquire cut price guns for BBs members

I am sure a Growing Number of UK Made Air Gun's are Now being Export
As We are something of a Air Gun Nation

I am also aware that the Strength of the UK £1.00 does effect the overall number sold overseas

USA is a growing market
But many UK Manufacures can not afford to supply to USA
due current Legal problems
Of Ambulance Chasers etc

Unless you get offered a Multi Million Deal's

Another issue is power differences in each Country

Reason tha many UK sold Gun's are having problems
Where they are made to be set @ Different power levels for Different Countries
Which means that others can also adjust them

But with our Nations High production Costs
Materials - Labour
Operating Services - Electricity Etc
Service Charges
High Transport Costs
Etc

I doubt any are really making high profits by Exporting
More of another market place to Keep production running
when quite in the UK
