    I read about just how rubbish they are and yet i want one just to see for myself how bad they are !
    I know ,i know somthing is not right in my head ,i think its lack of sex not sure how a shitty b2 comes into that .

    If i lived near that shop i would of bought one by now at that price just to relieve some bordom.

    Funny thing is you regularly see b2 's on freeadds for silly money 75 seems about average.

    No idea if anyone buys them .

    It probably costs less than 50p each to ship them from China in a container and another 15p to get them from Felixstowe to Colchester - so the economies of scale are probably far greater than you think...

    As I understand you don't presently own a pellet gun.

    The smk b2's have started lots of airgunning careers but also have stopped almost the same amount, the number of people who have bought a b2 then thrown it in the bin saying "that was s*** I don't see why every one are raving about airguns!" the cheap and nasty air guns have put off more potential airgunners than I care to count.
    When asked about cheap springers I keep saying save up and buy a springer that's over £150 but if you like 'tinkering' with things (taking them apart to see how they work) then cheap springers are for you as the b2's are horrible but if striped, de greased and de bured and put back togeather after relubing correctly then they are a reasonably good gun.

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

    Be that as it may, it's still a cheaper gun than the HW30p or 50p

    Yes. According to 'our Mick', it needs three or four little tweaks doing (one of which is the transfer port reduction, I can't remember the others), to make it decent.

    And this explains the lack of sights!

    Transfer port at 2.5mm, O ring piston head, HW35 breech seal and a 4mm longstroke, Phil.

    The Cleary lads knocked the Quigley bucket down several times with a b2 altered as above.
