Air Source down the tube?

[Colt25]

Hey guys, I just realized that crosman ceased production of their AS line.
After all their promoting it seemed like a failure, sadly.
Sorry if this is old news....just wondering if anyone has any idea why?

Then you have 6 years on me! 

2009 was the last year that Crosman had any new (old) stock of Air Source guns like the Benji AS392 or the AS2250, etc. They pretty much threw in the towel and called it a day on purpose built AS guns even tho they still offered the 88gr AS tanks and still do, I think?

The calendar page was just a comment on the OPs realization (just now in 2013) that Crosman doesn't make the AS guns anymore! Get it... "2009" , kinda like "hey did you know Oldsmobile doesn't make cars anymore?"

I use the readily available (from Wallyworld) and less expensive JT 90g carts in my Hammerli 850.  All searches for the Crosman brand turn up "out of stock" or "discontinued.
I already have the parts to refill the carts and convert to a 9oz paintball bottle.  I'll probably get into that when I run out of the carts I now have.

I have never seen the Crosman brand where I'm at, but I'm in CA, so whatever is in the store depends on the location and the political party to which the store manager belongs.
