Do Sharp still make pump up air rifles ? Anyone still import them ?

It looks like the Sharp Innova became the Sharp Tiger and has now been superseded by the Sharp Fusion, which is still in production in Indonesia.
The Webley Rebel which was (and maybe still is ?) imported by highland outdoors is a rebadged Sharp, whether it was based on the Innova or Tiger I couldn't say.

It sounds a bit ominous that the thread was deleted Mick!
Some of the Indonesian stocks actually look quite nice and sporty, the stock on the one I have coming definitely looks like an improvement over the original.
I would seem that the original tooling went to Indonesia from Japan then over to China to make/become the Webley Rebel as some of the parts on both Indonesian and Chinese guns have things like "Sharp", "Innova" or "Japan" moulded into them.
I actually went to school with a guy from Indonesia who then moved back there some time ago, not sure if he even reemerged me but if I get stuck for parts he could be helpful.

Not really John.
The valuation thread with pictures was posted in the sales section and at the time the forum software didn't support pictures in General Airgun so it couldn't easily be moved, so in order to tidy the sales section up the thread was deleted.
I'll see if I can sort it so you can see it.

Thanks Mick,
You didn't need to go to any trouble though.
Looks like the sharp style square receiver cover and still be bought over there so hopefully other parts will be too.
From the photos I actually like the look of the rifle as is so I'll get it up and running first as it is currently part stripped and was leaking previous to that and then see what to do with it.
There has been some very helpful info from everyone so thank you all.

Been a busy few days but the gun arrived a couple days ago and very well packaged and just as described.
Any negative comments I make are directed at the rifle and not the seller.
It feels very solid compared to what I was expecting and will be worn spending some time and money on to get back up and running.
The worst point, apart from turning up in the"Ladies" caliber of .177 , is the trigger. I wasn't aware that plastic was available when Noah was building the Ark was but it's basic and plastic and pants.
I'm not sure if all the parts are original, I know the beech is from another gun, things like the end block certainly look to have been made well but then attacked with a hack saw or band saw by a blind man with a drink issue.
May have been the same guy who did the stock butt extension.
I would post up some photos but it doesn't seem to be as easy as it used to on here.
Anyway anyone know where the best place to get new seals from would be. John Knibbs want £25 plus post which I think it's far too steep. I'm guessing most of the o rings will be standard sizes anyone know what they are and what shore rating they would be.
Cheers,
