    It's a shame that Rob's decided to pack up making them, Jon.

    Given time and threads like this on other forums, I'm sure they would be worth carrying on with production.

    I agree. But I can't argue with his logic / business approach. At the end of the day if they become price sensitive at a level below any chance of making a profit, it makes no sense to continue.

    It's also an interesting example of brand value - were these available on Rowans site (just an example), I'm they've have sold for £40 all day long... hmm.. maybe he should sell them to Rowan, rathan than to end users...?
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Hello to All,

    Rob has made a post on a forum explaining his reasons for stopping production - trouble is I can't remember where I saw it

    The gist is :

    He was making a loss on the first few he sold at the very low price - this was done to assess demand.

    He then put the price up to a level where he would actually make a profit, though a small profit.

    At the new, higher price, the demand plummeted, so he decided to call it a day.

    have fun & a good weekend

    Best regards

    Russ

    I did buy one of these at the initial bargain price. Still unused as I've yet to buy the rifle to fit it in.
