When Crosman released the m4-177 I got all hot and bothered until I read the fine print.
Pump gun? Manual feed? Wth were they thinking? That gun SCREAMED to be a repeater.
Would have liked to have one to go with the AR15 in my gun cabinet, but that thing isn't even close in any regard other than looks.
But now Crosman announces this: http://www.crosman.com/airguns/rifles/pcp/MAR177
and suddenly it's beginning to look like I may not be able to resist afterall!
But a suggested retail of $650?
(not including the support equipment required for PCP like those gold-plated, diamond-encrusted bicycle pumps)
REALLY?
A $650 add on to an $80 gun?
Is it just me or is the airgunning world completely back-asswards? |

The MAR conversion is not meant for your $80 gun
It was made to fill a huge market of CMP shooter's that want to be able to practice in indoor ranges that are currently shooting match grade AR's.
They were avidly paying upwards of $2K for the custom conversions that were available.
So with over 70,000 registered CMP shooters I guess crosman saw a market. |

| Yup- read the actual wording of the MAR177 conversion- it is installed on the "real" AR15/M4 type platform- not a pellet gun, it converts the rifle to shooting pellets for target work. |
