FAQ:
Q: What is a B3 rifle?
A: The B3 I’m testing is a.177 caliber single-shot spring-piston rifle that’s cocked by an underlever resting under the barrel. This rifle weighs 7 lbs. 2 oz. and measures 40.25-inches overall. The barrel is a trifle longer than 16 inches. The pull is 13.25 inches, which is short for an adult rifle, but still within the acceptable range.
Q: Is it a B3 or b3-1?
A: First I must note that what I am calling the B3 is designated the B3-1 on Stephen Archer’s website. He calls the rifle I have been calling the B3-1 the B3-2. Before I bow to Stephen’s greater familiarity with Chinese airguns, though, I must note that the label B3 and B3-1/2 is used randomly all over the internet.
Q: Will this rifle break a BSA air scope?
A: This rifle broke a BSA air gun scope. It also threw off another! 2 suggestions: First – Get a very strong 1 piece dovetail mount for an inexpensive scope. It’s likely to break the scope after prolong use so no need to purchase an expensive one.
Q: How much did your first B3 cost?
A: I saw my first B3 advertised in an American Rifleman ad in about 1986. It was being sold by a company called Compasseco that I would come to know much better in the future. I think the price was $54.50, plus shipping.
