Gifted Chinese Underlever Not sure how old or which model Early B3-1 ???

[Centurion1]

I 've had a lot of the Chinese B-3 variants, they're cool guns, A word of caution, I would keep your fingers out of the breach (I just used needle nose to load them), there are many instances of them removing fingers. They have an anti-bear trap on the lever, but I just never wanted to trust my fingers to it.

Blacksmith - Hoping to find out how it does soon, it has been a little cold and snowy here in MT, but my hope is the cleanup and fresh lubrication make it better than before. As described by my father-in-law he was never able to get 5 shots in the same zip code when he shot it so he put it in his reloading room for 25+ years.

Centurion1,

That was one of the first things I read about with these machines, and also why when we shot it before redoing it the rifle butt was on the inner thigh and one hand always on cocking handle while loading pellet. I do like the needle nose plier idea and may try that out when it warms up.
