So what happened to this rifle?
http://www.airrifle-china.com/Product/EN/product_detail.asp?productid=101
I have, in the past, found them for sale, not always as the 'AR 1000 Magnum' but they were around.
USA 1000 or some such model at Best Airgun:
http://bestairgun.stores.yahoo.net/
was the last place I recall finding them for sale. Any interest in what may be one of the 'best' break-barrel air rifles to come out of China?
Please comment.

Looks just like my hammerli titan

Same as a Beeman RS2 or a Tech Force 89

Yes it is exactly the same as the Hammerili Titan and also the TF-89. The Titan only comes in .177 but the TF-89 comes in both calibers. Very powerful air rifle and I just sold my TF-89 .22 to Joe Joe. aks AirGunCuz

I don't know about the 'Beeman RS2' but for sure it is the same or near to the TF89.
The big difference is/was the price, if IIRC the AR 1000 Mag. sold for around $90.00 +S&H.
Now which would you rather pay, $90 - $100 + S&H or $150 + S&H? The Industry Brand name means more to me than Tech Force.

The Titan is sold at Mid South for about $110.00 plus shipping. I would take an AR 1000 if I could find a new one but they disaperared a few months ago.

Exactly my point and now may be the time to make the AR 1000 Magnum available to the US market again.
