Many break barrel springers are easy to use accurately and are forgiving to shoot.

I really think there would be a very receptive market for a top-end, high quality all-British break barrel. And if they developed, say, three different length latch rods to suit our market, higher and lower power markets, it would attract global buyers.
You might be right but I suspect most of us are quite happy with HW springers to the extent that they don't want an underlever. AA are interested in PROFIT not vanity and their experience with break barrel isn't good.
By the way you do realise that the barrels on Air arms rifles are German? Already one important component -possibly THE most important-of a 'British' rifle is a 'German' barrel.
