Crosman Introduces Modular Adaptive Rifle (MAR) Competition PCP RifleThis was announced in mid January. Not sure I like it as it's now considered a firearm by legal definition. Interesting tho'

The first thing I thought of when I looked at this is that it was not good to be mixing Air Rifle's with Firearms. I think it might be a way for the dummies in Washington to make us start having to ship all Air Rifles through someone with a FFL, which would make it a lot harder for every one and raise prices. I think a mixed up rifle like this could be opening some legal loop holes that would be better off left closed in the air rifle market.

That's somewhat of my thinking. Why do I want my air rifle to be under the same restrictions as a firearm for transportation and discharge. I don't think they'll sell very well. Maybe it was just an effort to jump on the black rifle band wagon?? Dunno.

While I applaud crosmam for being innovative in bringing us great products like the discovery, marauder, and nitro series, I don't see the need for this product and I also feel it greys the area between firearm and airgun.

Heres a thread about it with a video.Crosman MARI dont think it will sell very well either. No need for me to buy a $900 dollar upper that only shoots .177 pellets at 600fps. Maybe acurate but not worth the need for an FFL to buy it.
