Crosman factory

[Squallywally]

Does Crosman have a retail shop at the factory? Be great if they did. It would be nice if one could go in and order a custom shop gun over the counter, subway style.
Sample dialogue.
What would you like on this 2300?
Customer: a little steel breech,some cocobolo. Oh how bout some lother barrel, some brass, oh,  Williams sight.
Hold the honey mustard and I don't want it toasted.

Add a little Williams Notch for me...would ya be so kind? and maybe that camo stock and foregrip?? 

[KevinP]

To the best of my knowledge they do not have a retail store and you cannot stop by to get parts ...

[BillK]

I'll take a 2300 with everything on it & a small pell gun oil.   Ya, I would like pellets with that.  Thanks.

I'll take the new Mrod with an Eva Shockey to go, please.

You and a bunch of us! Do they have the clone machine working yet??

Nope. No retail shop in the factory. They do have the "custom shop" but that's where they build your custom gun AFTER you order it. You can't just walk in and order one over the counter Subway style  The factory is closed to the public, unless you sign up for a tour.

They may not want you to see where the magic occurs!

I see you use to work there.  So what did you do there?  Did you build those little gems!!!

To bad they don't. I would drive the 750 miles to Crosman to get a custom shop gun.
You may be asking" why don't you order one?"
We'll let me tell ya.
I live in Illinois, not in the 234 square mile area along the shores of Lake Michigan, I live in  the other 57,681 square miles. There are many restrictions in the 234 square mile area and apparently Crosman thinks that everyone who is from Illinois lives in Chicago, so they blanket ban shipping airguns to Illinois. It's not just powerful large caliber airguns they refuse to ship, the venerable 760 is also excluded. There is a law restricting the shipment of "firearms" to the state of Illinois which erroneously included many airguns but that confusion has been cleared up. Except Crosman somehow isn't getting the message. I guess it is too difficult for them to figure out where the restrictions are and where they are not and what is restricted and what is not.  Too bad, they would be getting a lot of my disposable income.

Pyramyd air has it figured out and they do get a lot of my cash but you can't get a custom shop gun from pyramyd air.

Wow... I did not realize you had it so bad in IL. Thankfully the state to your north is unrestricted. What part of IL as I am just east of Lake Geneva?

Why not have one of you cousins in a another state order one for you and just mail it to you.

[BillK]

MI says any air gun under 30" length is considered a "firearm".  Crosman just doesn't ship anything to MI.  So I have ordered from the custom shop, paid for the gun and had it shipped to a friend in IN.  He then sends it to me.  PIA but, "a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do."

I can verify this. Same thing with Walmart. We can't even order RWS pellets... shipped to the store even though they sell CPHP in the SAME STORE!

I worked in the machine shop. I punched the holes in the tubes. But I did work in assembly for a week
