Very impressive work. I love my 91 B3. It’s on its third mainspring and second spring guide. It had a leather piston seal when I got it and somewhere down the line I put a later piston with a synthetic seal in it. The breach seal is a piece of rubber gas hose and the stock has been extended with thick cork spacers. It has “terminated” quite a few pigeons and rats over the years.
Someone said the B3 trigger was a copy of another gun. Can't remember who or which gun. But if you google a picture of the disassembled trigger on the fairly new Umarex Synergis underlever gas ram repeater you'll be surprized. It's basically the same trigger design.
Very nice. I've seen in the B3's with the two piece cocking linkage the groove in the wood stuck is shorter, of course, but they also have a plastric or nylon disk in a hole in the inside bottom of the stock to help the linkage slide inside the stock.

It's basically the same trigger design.Its very similar to the old BSA Meteor trigger. I checked the Synergis out and came to the same conclusion.

Thanks for the hint!
Dang it! You guys are just bound and determined to get me interested again in the b3-3 that I rebuilt fired once and has been leaning in the corner for over a year. When it was given to my wife I decided to fix it and remove the rust. It was not as bad as Tom's as far as rust but the spring guide was broken like they break on all of them. I was told that a spring guide from a crosman rifle would work so I bought 2 at less than $10 for both. The rifle came with a tune up kit from he who must not be named here. It had a new trigger sear and spring plus a main spring along with a breach seal. I think with 10.5 crosman pellets it was right about 700 fps but that was a long time ago lol.
