Shot them this morning.. much as expected Faily mild mannered shot cycle, but a little twangy. Trigger is vague, but as they are brand new will just shoot it a bit and see how it settles before trying anything.. it's a direct trigger, so never going to be epic... this also inclines me towards leaving the sligtly weedy 5-6 ft/lb spring in there, as there is really nothing to gain from an extra 2 ft/lb on an open sighted plinking springer - except making the trigger harder. One finger cocking is a bonus.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Is it possible to mount a scope? I seem to remember years ago there was no rail.
I am tackdriver, member since 2000, not any other unimaginative individual.
Interesting question.. on these, there is a very shallow dovetail machined near the top edges of that rail on top - whereas on the older version the rail was plain, no dovetail. I'd not trust it with anything heavy, but I'm going to try either a light scope (SMK 4x28, surpisingly usable and small/light), or a red rot. The recoil is pretty low, but when I say those dovetails are fine...

If anyone is thiking of ordering one, I'd suggest trying to pair up with someone else, as the shipping price of 20 Euro is the same for 1 or 2. Similarly, the foreign payment from the bank is much the same price when paying for 1 or 2 (~£10), so you save about £30 total if you get a pair. Ends up £70 each delivered.

I recall a previous importer, Trapper Industries offering a 'custom' version of the B3 as well as the standard, which was fitted with a muzzle break and very basic looking scope. This would have been around 2005. I think there's 'scope' (pardon the pun) for a shop/business to start offering these again, particularly as they can be sourced from Germany so cheaply.
