Air Venturi Importing Snowpeak Pistols?

[JRV]

I saw this new PCP on the Airgun Depot website today: https://www.airgundepot.com/air-venturi ... istol.html

Also available as a “new” product on Pyramyd Air’s website. It looks like a Snowpeak PP20 with new branding to me.

I know the Snowpeak guns have had their issues, but these look like they could be an economical option for clubs, juniors, and backup guns.

I spotted them as well and am wondering who will be the testers for us to see if they are any good and if the parts are avalable to upgrade the seals and o rings to quality parts - should the originals fail it would be nice to have information on hand what seals interchange

They've been waiting for their first shipment for a while. It will be very interesting to see how this all works out. The question will be whether Air Venturi can deal with the warranty work efficiently long enough to force the Chinese to get the quality up to snuff. It may even be that Air Venturi is requiring additional quality control steps already. Most of the initial reports I've seen on the Snowpeak pistols were not favorable if you aren't up to working on your own hardware.

If parts, and repair, are available this will be a big deal. Too soon to tell.
