My day with gamo sales rep...

Well I had my shadow sport fall to an accident. Fell out the back of the car and got the main tube all fn scratched up. With that aside I wanted to buy a new one. Well I called gamo and they said they will only sell to a lisenced gunsmith   why , I dono maybe safty. I asked them if my dad's ffl will work, they said no only a lisenced and insured gunsmith now. WTF
Kind of irratating time on the phone with this guy. I even asked well how much is it so have an idea. They said they wont release that information. bah humbug



Anyone know where I can get a new receaver tube (part that holds the spring)  .

Contact the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms,,,,, they'll give you all the information you need to file for such a license.

Thre is no such  federal license for a "licensed and insured gunsmith'.  The FFL (Federal Firearms License) only allows one to deal in firearms.  The guy you spoke with is an idiot.

Thanks alot for the referance. I was kind of wondering why he wouldnt take a FFL for the item. I mean my dad can call midsouth and get discounts on airguns and the like, why not directly with gamo.

Sounds like they do not want to sell products.

As a side note, Gamo has dis continued all .22 caliber rifles.

Here is the email I just rec'd from them;

Hello,

Our line of .22 caliber air rifles have been  discontinued.
Thank you,

Makes one wonder, are they getting out of the business, has anyone heard?

I hope thats not true because the CFX .22 was on my list to purchase.  Guess I'll have to do some horse trading or selling to pick one up earlier S**T. When I get break later I'll shoot them an email to see if I get the same response.

I called to make sure the email they sent was good info. and they confirmed no more .22 calibers.

They also said they were not going out of business.

I did some looking on the net and see some (http://www.pyramydair.com/p/gamo-cfx-break-barrel-air-rifle.shtml) still listing the CFX in .22.

   Check my other post about the Gamo .22

Sounds like it started along time ago, one way or the other. Not that I know anything about the airgun business, but it seems odd (for lack of a better word) that a company would drop what I would think is a popular caliber.

Go figure.

Hey I thought id update this for everyone.
Well I had my dad call and give him the ffl information. Well turns out he can purchase from them. So I have a shiny new receaver tube and 2 barrel seals for a whopping $25.

Thought id share,

Jason
