It is made in Brazil and states that it is made under license by Daisy. It is pretty accurate for a springer. Does anyone know anything about this gun? _________________ Getting in a rush only slows you down. Reflect Jesus Christ-Not your surroundings.

Does anyone know anything about this gun? isn't that a Hatsan?   Posted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 9:15 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Daisy makes only a couple models in the US (and has done it this way for years). All of the "Winchester" branded product has been produced overseas- first Brazil, then Turkey, now China. And of course, none of the parts are interchangeable from the different manufacturers/countries. Ican't speak for the exact timeframes, but I believe they went to China about 5 years ago, used Turkey (Hatsan) for 2 years or so, and it was Brazil before that for 2-3 years. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

That is a more than I found. there is not much information out there about these. The trigger is horrible, but it has a beautiful walnut stock. It is missing pieces of the rear sight. I was hoping that there would be some aftermarket parts available for it, but I have found nil. _________________ Getting in a rush only slows you down.

If you want replacement parts for a Brazil-built Daisy I think you will only be able to locate them in the used market, otherwise you may want to consider going with some sort of rail-mounted sight or a scope.

It's a beautiful rifle and very well made but terrible trigger. What parts of the rear sight are you missing? I have one but it's missing just the windage knob. PM me if you need it, you can have it. JGairguns has the hole thing.   Posted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 9:30 pm Robw Veteran Member Joined: 30 Jan 2013 Posts: 441 It is missing the whole sight. I could sure any rear sight parts you can spare. I might be able to fabricate something that would work for the windage knob. _________________ Getting in a rush only slows you down.
