It may not be news to some, but back in April, Crosman, which had bought out Sheridan and Benjamin a long time ago, was sold by its holding company to Daisy/Gamo.
The Crosman New York facility in Bloomfield is officially closed as of January 1st 2025. The existing parts stock and inventory are being shipped to Daisy in Arkansas. The 150 Crosman employees are laid off and the manufacturing equipment and real estate are being sold.
What does this mean to us? To some that maintain old Sheridan equipment, Crosman did maintain some vital parts for years after the Sheridan line was discontinued. These are now obsolete, as the Crosman people have been saying for the past year. When the existing parts are gone, there will be no more as Daisy/Gamo are not going to maintain them for obsolete equipment not produced in China.
RIP Crosman. I enjoyed dealing with the customer reps who often would go looking for things for me and call me back. They were always very good to deal with.
