Why,,,like Aa

it would not hurt them to make more left handers,they would sell a lot more guns

same old problem limited market

I don't have any clue on the sales figures for the Prosport or TX guns but I do believe a statement you made earlier Simon regarding them pushing sales into the TX rather than messing about catering for left handed shooters really ties in with the way their salesmen pushed me at the Northern Shooting Show last year into buying the TX rather than the Prosport. I am also inclined to think their sales of the TX is far higher than the Prosport which is why all attention is placed on that model.

 

Coming from a national sales background, I do understand the position of the company to make a capable alternative to the Prosport, putting all options with that model in order to gain a more effective cost Vs profit in a product line. It is just a shame they have created a demand for a gun that they will do nothing to satisfy their left handed customers.

Do we know that AA make their own stocks?

Potentially this could be Minnelli, so I would be inclined to go directly to them

Sometimes there are minimum quantities but there are enough lefties here, or maybe someone entrepreneurial

[pianoman 3,587]

That's an interesting and good point Pesky. The Pro Sport walnut stock I have new is made by Minnelli...Hmm I wonder what an email might produce?

[stealthy1 3,964]

Make your own stock Mac, it's only a bit of wood, how hard can it be.

[Rez 4,961]

To be honest though, it's all just about the inletting... if air arms giz Minnelli a call...

 

"Look, we've got customers banging in miss wests back door for left handed wood, will you be able to sort it out for us for the PS action? Maybe just inlet the TX or superlite to fit?"

 

If air arms wanted to make this happen... they could.

[PeskyWabbits 464]

They already have ghe tooling, as they have made them before

They just need the impetus

So it could be a minimum order thing but these would be trade prices

So the order amount we are aware of was 48

But that included tooling up

This time it would be materials and setting up plus profit margin

You could always try and get a copy of the dwg file. All you need then is a programmer that can convert it to mastercam, delcam or similar then 5axis cnc it... Hmm there's money to be made there you know

thousand of files here. Im pretty sure a decent programmer could manipulate one of these to make a pretty amazing left handed stock......coincidentally I run a pretty big joinery workshop so will ask the lads on monday. Probably a few hours to program then about 4-5 hours on the 5 axis.Pity we dont carry any decent woods as we make sets for tv etc. coinidentally our head of the model shop freelances for H&K and other weapon manufacturers on occasion designing synthetic stocks so will ask him if he has any ideas.

That adaptaped stock looks the nuts though btw
