Well for a start tony,there are quite a few 'British' guns
on the market,with only a pin in the breech ,
not a bolt as the smk19 has.
I chose the 19 because it has open sights,as opposed to the carbine,or smk20.
The gun shoots well,with no after twang,and if
quote
''and not get laughed at by these Daystate,Logon ect owners''
who will be laughing,if you apply yourself
and out shoot gun kits costing maybe 10 times as much ?
And a shot down a rabbits ear hole at 12ftlbs does the job
just as well as any 'Rolls Royce' gun would do.
Iv'e no time for snobbery,but i'm sure it won't be like that
most shooters iv'e met are welcoming as it's a close knit community.
You should get sorted out for about £110 gun inc nice scope ,mounts,pellets
kev.
