Shanghai Airgun Factory B3-3 Review

Overall Rating

Seems to be of solid construction.
Packs a wallop.
Dirt Cheap.

A 5th grader must have painted the stock.
Don't sand the stock down, it's rough under there.
Come packed in enough grease to lube a car.
Rust under bluing straight from box.
Robust recoil.

Paid all of $30, including shipping, for this rifle. Guess I shouldn't complain because it does well; however, straight from the box this thing was packed in enough grease to lube a large car. Not only that, but while taking the grease off I noticed some rust on the barrel (easily removed).

For starters, there is no way this rifle only does around 500 fps. This thing knocked my target stand back about 3 inches on the first shot. It must be pushing somewhere around 700+ fps.

Accuracy is actually good for a $30 rifle but forget mounting a scope. The recoil on this monster is pretty high and I'm sure it'll rattle a scope.

Overall, not a bad rifle. Just don't sand down the stock. You'll find a mess of really nasty wood along with gobs of filler haphazardly placed wherever they needed it.
