I remember looking at the 56. Fts in the marksman catalog back in the day and thinking that was a great looking rifle, but I couldn't afford one at the time. I did eventually get a marksman model 70 in .177 which I still have, I need to pull that gun out and shoot it more. It's a big gun, like...

I am interested as well. I like the magazine feature as it's great to do 10 shots without a reload but I wondered how much better the gun may be accuracy wise if you direct load the pellet vs the mag

My favorite target has always been the good old can, doesn't matter what type of Airgun you use on a can, it's always a satisfying sound when you hit it.

Here's a pic of mine, very worn metal and some scratches, but I restored the stock.

I have an old hw 30 that had a similar looking seal and the piston was all rusted beyond use. Picked up a new piston from Knibbs and added a synthetic seal and it's a great shooter now. Like the old finger groove style stocks as well.

I have several Chinese B3 air underlever air rifles of recent mfg for sale. They have a ding here or there but are solid shooters and ready for tuning or just plinking. I have two left in .177, $55 shipped each. PP ff or money order.

Might have to fabricate a replacement, may be your only choice

I got my 760 @1974, brass bolt, looks like poplar wood forearm and the plastic butt stock. They feel so small when I shoulder it now but still a fun gun

If you confirm there is nothing in the inside of the piston like a stuck washer and tophat, Just measure the original spring top hat etc and then compare to the stack height of what you put in, if the new stuff is more reduce the stack height by taking out a washer etc as others have said. I...

Yeah I agree, I may keep a couple of these b3s but will sell the rest off cheap. Surprisingly I am enjoying the Crosman 2100 and even the Gamo maxim swarm. If the xs b3 wasn't in the bunch it wouldn't have been worth it. If you want a B3 cheap let me know, I am in the North Bend area!

Yeah I got the pile from AOA, sold for less than they listed it for in the end, the xs b3 which is a Pioneer version in .177 so that was worth the cost of the bunch which was my objective in buying it, were some oddball things in the bunch besides basic Chinese rifles, like a Crosman 2100...

I have a good collection of the Chinese guns and can say the only safety I really see on the underlever B3 types is the standard sks trigger block safety. But there is a lot of variety even within a given model as there must have been numerous factories building them. In the under level B3...

Would be nice if there was a nice aftermarket stock available for the 34. The stock on my compact is very boring although functional

That seems low for a 98, mine is same era in .177 and shoots 13ftlb with stock spring.

I always wanted a Sheridan as a kid but like most couldn't afford one so had to go with a Crosman 760. I did eventually pick up one of the Benjamin 397P model in silver with a peep sight and I have to say I really like the rifle, so light and handy compared to typical springers. Will...
