So why or what was the demise?
The fact that spring technology got pretty much optimised?
To improve offerings such as the TX, would cost a lot for not a lot of gain.
Or is it the fact that the springer just didnt need improving, we just went and bought pneumatics instead, low recoil, user friendly and easier to be accurate?
Even the John Darling swapped his tricked up HW80 for a Rapid 7!!!
