For some masochistic reason I took the B3 out for a few shots. As I loaded it, I wondered how many fingers have been amputated by B3s. It really looks like it was designed to cut off fingers. I keep thinking that I have to sell this horrid thing but maybe I should keep it and shoot it occasionally. It will give me perspective on how good I have it when I'm shooting much nicer AGs. (and that much nicer AG is pretty much every AG in the world)

Find them to be pretty nice shooters once they've had some tinkering.(but currently don't have one) Today I shot the Vigilante and Crosman Phantom 1000.

My Blue boy Industry Brand B3-1 would be the keeper if I had to get rid of all my air guns. Also my favorite Peak B4-2. Looks like a B3 but a little smaller, shorter receiver, different trigger group. Refinished both stocks, the B4 light oak and the B3 blue varnish. Had Weaver rails mounted on both. A Hawke 2-7x32 mildot AO scope on the B3. In a groove on the rail between the tall see-thru rings the rear peep of a Mini 14. Can't remember what scopes on the B4. Both have AK/AKS web slings and rubber slip over recoil pads. B3's a pretty good shooter, B4's a tac driver. BTW they both have anti-bear trap safetys that work just like the HW97.
