Brilliant B20

[Benelli B76]

Just bought an Xisico XS-B20 for £50. Stripped it down for maintenance, having just done an HW 99S I was able to compare the build quality. On the internet the B20 is often compared the HW 95, but my 95 is a much bigger rifle, it is definitely a clone of the 99s. Has a high quality polyurethane piston seal, a good fitting metal piston sleeve and a nice cocking shoe on the cocking lever. The transfer port looked rather small so I opened it up to 3.2 mm. The trigger is a Rekord with the automatic cross safety. Do not know if it is a genuine Weihrauch, it is identical except for some levers finished in oil black instead of the silver finish on the HW. Perhaps some experts out there will know. Left the original spring in and with the transfer port opened it is on 11.6 ft.lb. Very easy to cock, and a smooth action on shooting in a light package.

The B20 same as SMK XS20 had a Rekord cloned trigger which really was a good one. Then this model was superseded by the B26 (26 mm cylinder). A few were made with the Rekord cloned trigger before BAM changed to a bastardized version that was a sealed unit. Xisico doesn't import the B26 (SMK now sells this as the XS20) and the B20 isn't made any more.

The trigger on these early xs20 / b26 is a Rekord clone apart from the pin positions through the cylinder body. A good mod' is to drill out a weihrauch trigger blade to 3.0mm dia (using the original BAM blade as a template) and fit it to the trigger unit.

The customised B20 I bought years ago had a CS700 stock fitted to it which I later fitted to a HW95, so unless it's been changed recently then it's defo a 95 clone.

Pete, looks like a combination of both with the 99 type barrel and sights...

They are surprisingly nice if you get a good one I've had a fair few, they are a hw95 clone tho not 99 and the early ones had 25mm pistons and then changed to 26mm the sights are more like a 99 as it will of been cheaper to cast them as one instead of using inserts bud.
