XT32's are like any B2's, it's just that they are supposed to have a safety.They just need some work doing to them before they shoot nice.I picked up three new B2's a couple of weeks back. They had stood at the back of a dealers store room without the stocks fitted (2 deluxe and 1 standard). The fixing screws and the plastic cylinder caps were long time missing. I paid less than $10 for the lot.First one to be worked on was a .177. I've ground the spring ends down flat and mirror polished them. Although to be fair, they weren't to bad to begin with. Made and fitted a Delrin top hat. Fitted a piston liner. Reduced the TP to 2.5mm from the original 4mm. Squeezed the jaws at the breach in a vice so there is no sloppiness when cocking. Replaced the trigger spring with a lighter version and polished the contact points on the mechanism. It's now all bolted together with dome headed hex bolts. The only cross-head screw is the self tapper in the trigger guard.The result is a nice (yes I did say nice) solid feeling, smooth shooting gun that has little resemblance to the way it started.I use the same type of cheap scope and single screw mounts on my one. Don't get any creep with the scope at all now, owing to the lower recoil while shooting beer bottle caps at twenty yards.I have some nice guns, but it's satisfying to make a cheapy behave well beyond its humble beginnings.
