It's a Turkish made Hatsan, and it's not that bad a rifle.
They're cheaper on your side of the pond...  |

| I saw that about a week or so ago when my plans for a Marauder blew up due to the suppressor. All Air Venturi rifle products are Made In China ('Air Venturi' is the OEM/wholesaler name of PyramydAir), so I've not run off and ordered one just yet. More power (i.e. 40fpe) and a power adjuster would be a nice feature! |

The AT-44 isn't made in China. The action is based on some old Webley or something, and over here it's just sold under the Hatsan name.
+ It says "Made in Turkey".

You are correct, pardon me- perhaps I should re-phrase my statement to "all Air Venturi rifle products are made in countries with lower levels of quality control and cost" !
Actually, I am more confident if it is made by Hatsan than if by some mystery Chinese manufacturer, at least they build their stuff like tanks, and usually with some work, they can be made quite a bit better than they left the factory. |

This is just the beginning. In twenty years I'll be telling my kids, "Why, when I was your age we had to load our pellets one at a time."
Not sure why it took them so long to understand the benefit of semi automatic ag's. Although, look how long it took them to figure that out with powder burners. |

I would wait for the Marauder.
One of the reasons we did not invest heavily into repeating arms (in the US) was because the bureaucrats did not think soldiers could control themselves enough to not waste all of their ammo. We know that they would not have, because those guys are dead, since they could not shoot fast enough (take for example the Krag from the Spanish American war). |

Well, if you take the Vietnam War for example, it was something like 50,000 rounds expended for every enemy killed. So maybe they had a point. |

I think that was just stupidity.
We also had faulty weapons that would jam if you touched them wrong.
That might be a reason I would likely never buy an AR for when SHTF purposes. |

They get better every year. These manufacturers aren't stupid. A lot of A-brands are cutting back on quality, and that leaves an open space for cheaper manufacturers.
In a few years we're buying turkish Webleys. |
