Just seen your post about finding a new one for close to £350. Best snap that up pronto, as they mostly sell new for around the £460-470 mark. I've seen some retailers asking silly money - over £600
£300-350 would, to me, seem reasonable for a good to excellent 2nd hand buy.

I'm really overwhelmed by the amount of help and and support you chaps (and perhaps ladies?!?) have given me on this matter, I rung the supplier of the 'cheap' new Twinmaster Tops and surprise surprise they are sold out (note i'm not mentioning the supplier). I'm going to offer them money up front to try reserve my pistol if/when they get any more stock in!!
Thanks again for your help chaps, just want my weapon and full club access so I can shoot everyday (10,000 hours of practice between now and 2020) Wish me luck! lol

Just a quick update: the gentleman, perfectly within his rights, declined to budge one inch on his £350 asking price second-hand four year old virtually unused Twinmaster Top.
I am yet to hear back about stock from the company allegedly selling new for 380 and I am desperate to get on with this weapon so have agreed to pay the full amount going on feedback from you good folk. It's firing a 7.8125 grain pellet at 420m/s. It may need tuning up and I believe there is a chap in Yorkshire who provides this service if necessary.
Thanks again for your help everyone

Rohms are not on the BAR site at the present moment.
I believe Walther hope to see their market increase by killing the Rohm brand, surely that's not really competition, more like asassination?

The Top is a good entry level PCP target pistol.
I shoot mine every week, though it has taken me a while to tweak it.
I am currently using RWS R10s, 4.5mm 7.0g.
I have yet to try the 4.49mm, but I doubt I'd notice any difference.
However, I am aware that many use the 8.2g rifle in pistols to good effect.
Kind regards,
Phil
I now have so many airguns I've had to make a list, which is >>HERE<<
>>Classic Air Pistol Association<<
>>North Manchester Target Club<<
nah, its the new fully auto bump fire chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO.

Just an update for you guys, I found a shop in Buckinghamshire selling a new 'unused' 'second-hand' 'weapon' for £365 including shipping, paid by credit card so I can add it to my rising debt amount (and stimulate the economy?!) and paying £20 for RFD collection from York Guns. I feel a bit bad for messing this chap around but was disappointed he didn't wish to even barter with me. I found an RFD willing to accept it for £10 but 50 mile round trip is petrol money and my time. hope this one stands up to the high standards I have come to know and love from the one I've been using
Regarding killing off the brand, I was under the impression that suppliers are under obligation to provide spares etc for a certain period after being bought out like that. but who knows.

I've just been looking at the Walther site and this appears to be the fate of Rohm, Laser guns.
Whatever doesn't kill you, is going to leave a scar... A Crip With A Gun!

All Umarex products are now distributed here by Armex (as I expect you know) and that includes Rohm. I'll have a word with them today to see what the situation is. We've still got a couple in stock (somewhere) and don't want to get stuck with them.
Later, I've just spoken to Armex and it seems I was wrong and it does not include Rohm. The person I spoke to said they didn't have the contract for Rohm yet and had also heard the 'kill-off' rumour.
