That would be fun... ...but loud, too.
I think it's probably too risky for Crosman, but I'd rather see a hybrid. I think making a .22 or .25 Prod with a better stock and an Mrod-length shroud, to keep things quiet, would result in a nice little carbine that would be very practical for most people. If they could put more effort into it by making a longer barrel (maybe 14"-16"), then all the better. Resisting the Mrod's air-resevoir would keep weight down... ...though adding an extension to the Prod's would seem necessary.
A lightweight, synthetic stock would be just the ticket, but we all know Crosman could make some additional money by offering a custom wood (laminate?) replacement as a custom accessory.
And can't somebody in the carbon-fiber market get us some lightweight replacement shroud and air-res tubes already?
