harry69koi Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Just finished doing a complete overhaul on my B3 with new seals throughout and upgraded spring B) While i was at it i sanded down the stock from the ugly old orange sort of colour and re-stained it in walnut,looks good if i must say so lol. The power of the gun is now 11ft lb on average was 6-7 ft lb at the best of times ,so well chuffed For a cheap Chinese under lever air rifle it packs a decent punch now Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) I've got one of those! We were using it at the recent PW Costwolds event with open sights, pretty accurate at a distance. We also chrono'd it at about 10.5, I have been thinking of pimping mine, especially as the trigger is utterly horrible. Can you get trigger kits for these? EDIT: the breach seal is a bit knackered too. Edited June 2, 2013 by Thunderbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
