Seems like a solid shooter to me, do your sons like to shoot it ?

Bought just yesterday. Will see in the weekend.

Site I saw said these are actually made in Germany, and kinda’ hard to find over here.

Big fan of middleweight springers, myself. Wish there were more being offered. US market is flooded with unwieldy, re-badged chinese guns, touting 1400 fps with tinfoil pellets, and weigh 8+ lbs and shoot like krap.

Youth market is mostly plastic rehashing of old designs. Depressing, really.

Unless Bazowski confirms the opposite, the M-Blade is 100% made in China  And Umarex is the distributor here in Europe.

But I am a fan of middleweight, compact springers too. Though my HW97k is an exception

So... 1st weekend with the gun :-)
Boys were very happy. We had goot time in the backyard. Neutral text on the gun about licence ... so I think its made in China. Its cheap basic gun with hard trigger (cant compare, my opinion). Cocking ok for boys.
We went here (its something like holiday house) a couple weeks in year (may-november). So in this quality / price its really fine airgun for our backyard fun.
Here are pictures... Target distance 11-12 meters (12-13 yards).
0225 - Juraj 12 years
0240 - Ondrej 15 years
0231 - 1st shots ever ... all together, my are in the black :-)
0234 - click, click, click with sights ... my 5 shots (I think I was sitting, gun on bag) JSB Exact
0236 - sitting
0237 - sitting
0239 - Ondrej, 10 shots, prone
0247 - I think, this text means Made in China ...

Great results for shooting with open sights ! And the blueing on the action looks very good !
