    Chinese BAM B3 AK Lookalike

    I'm after a manual for the above, if anyone has one they would be willing to sell or scan?

    Kind regards,

    John

    They do look the part - apart from the ones with orange stocks I swear you can feel the metal grinding away as you cock it though!

    Thanks Phil but that's the Lion rather than the B3. Appreciate the link though.

    Kind regards,

    Actually I now own your old one Jon. What a pleasure to use her. There was a variation of +/- 6 FPS over the chrono with Hobbies averaging 548 FPS. ...But then I guess you already knew that!

    I think the previous owner got so fed up with me badgering him to sell the rifle that he got fed up in the end or simply felt sorry for me

    Certainly a crowd puller at the club. G made a great job of using a magnet and locating pins to keep the mag in place. Look out for a test coming to AGW soon

    Yes, the Lion was actually a replica of one of my favourite rifles the SKS.

    Just note that particular one has had some minor fettling; I'm not sure they are all as docile out of the box

    I had one from brand new...it didn't come with a manual!

    Being marginally more complicated than a knife & fork perhaps they thought the user might work it out for themselves or die trying

    I do not recall a manual either. If I can get into the loft I will check mine.
