Yes I realise that, what I meant was that you can buy the tank and valve for cheaper the Benjamin tank is selling for, if PyramydAir is selling for that much I highly doubt other store would sell it for much lower
I think the 'problem' right now is that Crosman no longer has a Canadian factory as it did up until about 25 years ago, and quite a few of their senior executives were actually Canadian- all of them excluding the current President (I don't know when he left Canada and if he ever gives the Canadian market a thought) have quit/retired- recent experience suggests there is absolutely no one "going to bat" for Canadians in their offices at this point. Of course this may not be limited to "Canada"- Crosman, like others (Daisy, Beeman) have gone more and more into the Big Box sales mindframe and this may drive issues/problems which we're not familiar with at this point. While we all know Canadian Tire has high prices- if they did not demand a new detuned model for Canada every year or two- Canada would never likely see anything new.
