Shanghai Airgun Factory B3-3 Review

Overall Rating

Good power and accuracy, more than I expected from a $20 dollar rifle. Nice recoil almost feels like a .22 cal

Trigger guard screw keeps coming loose after about 15-20 shots

I got my Shanghai Airgun Factory B3 a few months ago and after some find tuning and the addition of a scope I guess you could say I am surgical with the thing now, I could shoot the acorn out of a squriels hands if I wanted to I've been giving birds head shots at will at about 25 yards.

A couple of my neighbors had already had bb guns so I was playing catch-up. The B-3 was shooting so well that when I told them how much I paid for it they could not believe it, that caused him to go out and get a Crosman power master 66, and even that just matched it, it didn't seem to out do my gun the way he hoped. Now he's done it, he went and bought a Varmint Stalker by Gamo and I can't do a thing with it. After about 4500 rounds, a couple of days ago I shot my last pellet out of the B-3, I went to shoot at some crows and noticed that I had left it cocked since yesterday. I was instantly alarmed by that hoping that no harm was done but, after firing the gun 8 times I went to load it up one more time and it would not cock. I took it apart and discovered that there was a mechanism in the trigger that kept getting stuck. I oiled it and knocked it loose and it started to work again, but every time i put the stock back on it, it messes up again. I dont want to throw the thing away because it seems like its easy to fix. Well! that is the sad story on that, all and all it was a good gun up until that point, and there is a Gamo Shadowmatic out there with my name on it. So I guess the crows will get a break until I cash my income tax check.
They don't have to worry about my neighbor he can't shoot for toffee.
