    Nice find.

    I take it that the .177 variety could be purchased and shipped to the good old UK within the law being that they are 160 m/s (4.8ish ftlb).... that would make it very affordable.

    Could be very nice indeed.

    I ❤ E.U.

    Perhaps you could explain to me why it's three times more expensive in the UK?

    It isn't all down to profit, is it?

    Ooooo.... that's a bit good.

    I too wonder what trigger tinkering it can take - and how the grip is attached/being capable of being easily replaced....

    66 quid shipped from Poland! Good old free market. I wonder how much airguns would go up in price if we left the EU, a remortgage on the house I think !

    Trophy Pistol

    And I thought 159 was cheap but 48 is a bloody steal.

    I wonder if it can converted to bulk fill as well!

    Why would the price be any different?

    You have a slight problem if ordering from Poland, it's advertised at 140 meters per second in .22, which is 459fps. There's no mention of pellet weight, but assuming for example AA Fields at 16grain, it produces 7.48fpe. Even with 14.3grain pellets, produces 6.69fpe at that speed.
    11.9grain hobbies come in at 5.56fpe, but that's not to believe this is what the velocity is quoted on.

    It could be that we are getting a de-tuned version for the UK, but then again, i could be wrong. All depends on what pellet weight those manufacturer specs were set on

    Only thing is they wont accept paypal so I asked my bank to do a transfer and they said it would be another £25 , I am waiting for them to become more widespread in the uk , I thought SMK might import them but asked in my local SMK stockist and they say not doing them seems only Airforce one up to now .
    a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
    This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !

    I'll explain it when someone explains to me why I can buy wood screws cheaper than pellets - same manufacturing process, similar quantities, more difficult material to form...
