If he is paying only £30 each it is hardly surprising they only last a short time on a fairground stall.!!!!
You get what you pay for.

Anyone any ideas on the strongest cheap air rifle available? Just had a phone call from an aquaintance and he's got through 10 SMK's in a week on a fairground stall
He's looking at Gamo now to see if they last any longer. To be fair, the SMK's cost him about £30 each but that's not cheap if they only last a few days.
They don't need to be accurate

here we go again, cue the trolls... how on earth is he going through them exactly? what is "strong"? how are they breaking? and please refrain from calling them "smks" as it gives the wrong interpretation. please use the model you are referring to. I assume its the b2. to be honest if he's having them used many times every day as a professional tool he is going to have to buy one to fit the job, an occasional back garden plinker is not going to cut it. what does he class as "cheap"? i mean what's the mans budget? if ithey are going to have that much use he is going to have to spend some money on them

Tell him to buy a/several Weihrauch HW 25 L in .177
Should last for ever with regular maintenance
Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
We already know that but thanks for the info anyway
I don't know the model and I doubt he does. As far as I know (they're down in Hyde park) the pins are breaking on cocking.here we go again, cue the trolls... how on earth is he going through them exactly? what is "strong"? how are they breaking? and please refrain from calling them "smks" as it gives the wrong interpretation. please use the model you are referring to.

Price wise I think "cost effective" is what he's after bearing in mind they will only be used over Christmas then stashed / lost.
Too expensive, the job doesn't justify the expense so I've been told.Tell him to buy a/several Weihrauch HW 25 L in .177

If it is something like a pin on the cocking lever breaking, buy a f' kin big box of the pin's & change them every other day!!
there's a reason cheap goods are cheap, they're made from cheap materials.
Hi all I dont want to appear thick but I keep seeing this word trolls or trolling what is it?
I wouldn't have been surprised at the SMK's wearing out very quickly but I am surprised they broke. Doesn't really matter whether you cock it 500 times in 6 months or 500 times in a day, it's still cocking it 500 times.
