Gamekeeper48's review of SMK S2 .177

★★★★☆

“Great pistol if you like working on guns.”

Written on: 14/06/2012 by Gamekeeper48 (3 reviews written)

I bought the S2 because it reminded me of the Slavia pistols of my youth.
Being cheap and Chinese ( the pistol not me) I knew it would require a bit of TLC to get it shooting well.
The trigger needed a lot of pressure, which was easy to fix with a little filing on the sear.
The sights are awful and were of no use because the barrel needs recrowning, the pellets were flying way high and to the right, so my next job is to take a drill, a brass screw and some valve grinding paste and try to recrown the barrel.
The quality of these pistols must vary a lot, I just bought a S2.22 and the trigger was OK, likewise the accuracy, it was also rifled even though the adverts say the .22 is smoothbored.
