Why the SMK B2 is awesome!

And the Baikal IJ22

At that sort off money they must be rejects of some kind.
They are just too cheap you should be asking why.

A low quality B2? Surely not!

To be fair they are the cheapest supplier of most guns as well as everything else they sell.

Thursdays (Coincides nicely with dole day) and Sundays. The Webley mkVI pistol was under £100 new this year!

I can recall reading a tale online about a fella that had a B2 and decided to chop 4" off the muzzle so that he could fit a silencer, He set to with the hacksaw only to find the bore wasn't central anymore!!

All that he could do was file the bore of the silencer out to stop clipping or throw the lot in the bin!!

Several years ago I shot a Chinese Airgun Forum meeting HFT competition with a Westlake version fitted with a scope and did not do too badly. They are cheap and cheerful (OK, maybe not all that cheerful) but as a pure fun gun they are not too bad. But as stated, if asked for my opinion as a first gun I would advise spending a little more ... but I have seen many people walking around game fairs carrying a new boxed one. Maybe impulse buys or being badgered by 'little sonny'.
There is clearly a profit being made ...
Cheers, Phil

I'm hosting that event next year, Phil.

I'm really looking forward to it. but I don't know which of my Chinese guns to use.




All the best Mick

Looking forward to meeting you Mick, I'll probably be bringing my Ruger, doubt if I'll be bringing a Crosman though (can't justify paying the prices they charge for 'em, when they aren't any better than what SMK put out)

Yep, it's those damned MSGs, Nick.

On the subject of MSG, though, a far, far nicer "MSG" would be The Michael Schenker Group from the 80s. Lovely heavy rock. And, strangely enough, I was listening to one my favourite track of theirs yesterday - "Armed and Ready". Very apt and a top, top tune!

Google it up and have a listen.

Trago has always been good for airgun bargains. Much my early teens was spent plinking with a Baikal IJ22 bought from Trago for the princely sum of £14.99. That included a cleaning rod as well as a spare spring and piston washer. Sadly though it preferred Hobby pellets to the Milbro Caledonians that Trago sold.
