So it looks like Crosman as sold it's pellet brands to Webley, or have I got it wrong?

Which of their home-market pellets they really are I have no idea. Most of their guns also get names for the U.K. that don't exist in North America like "Rathunter" and so on. What I believe this means is that Crosman is likely licensing the 'AccuPells' out to Webley who will handle all the inventory and distribution. The more time goes on, the more Crosman seems to want to have "representatives" in other countries do all the work. Sometimes this may work, sometimes maybe not. I suspect Webley thinks the "AccePell" name is worth something and is thus willing to be the distributor of them- but I think it's doubtful they have been sold anything. All that being said- I find the comment "probably the world's most accurate airgun ammo (TM? WTF is TM? has Crosman or Webley trademarked that quote?)" to be pretty laughable- but, whatever. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Mind you the people who own Webley these days do have a history of putting blurp out which is borderline.

Ever hear of Beeman's Kodiak pellets? They are simply H&N Baracoutas. Many of Beeman's pellets are made by H&N but don't worry H&N is one of the best pellet makers in the world! They are right up there with JSBs!   Posted: Sat Jul 05, 2008 12:13 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 I have bought H&N Barracudas a.k.a. Beeman Kodiaks as Bisley pest controls before.   Posted: Sat Jul 05, 2008 3:07 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" cw wrote: What is the history of the people that put out Webley now and what is the borderline blurp that they are know to put out? I believe Al's comment is in respect to Webley who is now owned by a UK distributor and the re-doing of their entire gun lineup (apparently for the worse in respect to quality and price) and is often accompanied by somewhat exaggerated claims/advertising _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

It's too bad about Webley they used to be one of my favorite brands.
