Skb m3

[Mark D]

@45flint, that SKB is a beauty.
I agree, the M3 would have been nice for my collection.
But I think the original BSA design cannot be equalled?

What is your view on your SKB's tap design quality? Is it nice and air tight?
Also, with the M3, I noticed that the piston's metal was a bit damaged where it makes contact with the cocking link.
Perhaps they didn't use the correct hardness. Not sure.

@Mark, I am pretty sure that those boxes were full.
At this gun shop, there were also about six Howa 55G's and two new Theoben Rapid Mk1's.

Just checking on the flights to Japan - I might need a bigger suitcase though

Curious how much is a Howa 55G's over there?

I am not sure Steve, they are still popular in Japan. But probably a lot cheaper than here.
Buying (air)guns in Japan is not easy though, there are strict regulations.
Export is also complicated.
I paid over 1000 euros a few years ago to get 3 rare Sharps to from Japan to Holland.
