Bottom of the barrel guns

You just never know when you order these what you will get, sometimes the stocks are complete "really, that is hardwood?", other times (not many) they throw you a bone....



A decent group of B1's, if there is such a thing.  Stocks on 2 of them are choice!, 1 has not a little filler, but an incredible amount of filler - but they hid it quite well.  What looks like some crazy tiger striped maple is actually just smoke and mirrors stain artwork over a lot of mud.



Cheap fun and good little can killers.  At less than $20 a copy I plan on shooting the mud right off of the one, the other two make fair trading material.

Just bought a new B1, cut the stock off behind the pistol grip and put a QB6 folding stock on it. Still tinkering but it's going to work. I'm thinking black, already put an AK muzzle brake on it. and a red dot sight. Maybe a sling. "Paratrooper" B1. Why, because it was there.

They're kinda fun aren't they!

Here's my $28.50 .22 underlever with a $6.99 4X32 scope. Shoots an average of 585 FPS with CPHP 14.3gr pellets and holds a 3" group @ 30 Yds.

A lot of fun for a little money!  The little paratrooper B1 sounds cool, post some pics when finished!

I shot the mud filled B1 some yesterday, not a lot, but enough to play with it.  I have not cleaned this yet, still dieseling, but at 13.5 yards basement shooting on a rest with open sights I shot a few 1" ctc groupings using Daisy wadcutters.  A quick pass over the chrony (that will drop yet) showed 493.8fps or about 4fpe - perfect for the basement gallery...

  Nothing wrong with inexpensive AG's the lower the start up cost the less fear of tearing into it and destroying a high $$$$$ rifle. If you want to get a huge giggle imagine a 68 year old guy crawling around on the basement floor flash light in hand peering under anything  looking for a spring or small part that escaped and have that part be functionally important.  At least with the inexpensive rifles you can buy three and have plenty of spares and immediate spares on hand

Fun project guns.  I cut the sights off of my B3-1, and fabricated a new spring guide when the original snapped.  Don reinforced my rule of never again working on an airgun  over a carpeted floor. RC

I'm amazed that they can make that little underlever, ship it over here and sell it at a profit for under $30. A lot of precision machining and assembly required. The added bonus is when you squeeze the trigger and you hear the sound of stepping on Rice Crispies!

Reporter:              Do you think China will ever put a man on the moon?

Chinese woman:   Oh, yes.

Reporter:              Why do you believe that?

Chinese woman:   We have many, many hands.
