The B-3 Air Rifle “A.K.A. The Chinese Airgun” | Airguns Collecting 101

[@d.b.94]

Got one of these about 5 years ago at firts shot great and accurate using 22 caliber after finding the right pellet. After a few years power started to get low on powers. Changed the spring and a new gasket plug for the piston. And had to use a different pellet and wow this rifle shoots even better then before at 25yards. I love this rifle hit the bullseye everytime with quater size groups.

@d.b. Thank You for Sharing! It’s great to know that the issue with this gun can be fixed and resolved. I think it’s awesome to see that your getting better performance out of a budget friendly Airgun even after 5 years time. I’m glad I made a choice to add this one to my collection just like you have too 🤠 Plink On!!!!🔫🔫👍🏽👍🏽

The video is interesting, I use to had a B3 and in truth they have very low power from the factory, I changed mine to have more power with a Diana rifle spring, in addition to the plunger gasket, after that the rifle felt a lot most powerful that could kill rabbits and pigeons at more than 25 yards away. Another thing I did was file the trigger hook and plunger so that it was smoother and when firing the finger effort would not make the rifle jump. With iron sights after the fix it was like shooting another rifle like a "gamo" well not so much but it improved a lot

@rafaelduque7160 Thank You for your comment! I definitely appreciate it! You are a prime example for the reason that I started collecting Airguns in the first place! You are that Air rifle hunter/user/Gun Smithing guy that I use to watch and subscribe to channels of….. Basically because they were Interesting… as you have said in your comment. That’s how I got into collecting, watching countless videos on all kinds of gunning subjects from Airguns to firearms. Guys like you hunting hogs with Airguns, rabbits, dispatching invasive species like rats, and pigeons. That’s how I got the bug, I’m not as mechanically inclined as with working on the guns. Even though, I definitely appreciate your modifying your B3 and advice on how to do it…Awesome Information! ( hopefully others will read these comments … I certainly do read comments whenever I watch a video) that’s how you learn things about these types of guns. Sometimes, when one of my guns break or go down , I’ll watch videos on that gun and usually can fix minor issues. I agree on the power adjustment needed. I’m going to begin Chrono testing … just to have knowledge of the actual fps and fpe as I continue to make videos of the guns I’ve collected. I do own a Gamo swarm maxxim that I need to do a video on….. So, I understand what you’re saying. I thought I would start with something on the low end of rifles in the collection 101 videos and move up to some of my other higher powered guns. If I’ve collected it probably has a story behind the reason why I collected it. My style of collecting is eclectic. So if it interest me … I’ll probably try to buy it. So far my higher priced Airguns are in the $500 and under category based on what I can afford. Sooner or later …. That higher quality airguns will be in my scope to buy….. I always have a running list on all kinds of guns I plan on buying someday…LOL Thank You for Watching This comment gets 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫 🤠 Stay Tuned I got a few new PCP rifles that need unboxing and videos done on

These guns first showed up at gun shows about 20 years ago. I bought one just to see just what you get for $40? I shot it a little bit but it wasn't too accurate. I still have intentions of going through it to see how it can be improved.

@johnndavis Thank You for your Comment John! I really do appreciate it!….. It’s good to know some history on this gun, also the prices at the time. I’ve only been collecting for a short time (5-6 years now) What I’ve notice is that some Airguns come and go, some stick around, and some are recycled. Producers sometimes will change a feature or two (sometimes not) re-package them with a new name, or reproduce them based on the same model and change the name. Just for example… the Crosman 357 (revolver) has been one of those products from my understanding. It has been around for a long time too. A few years ago, when I first was starting to collect Airguns … It was sold as the 357 and the Crosman Vigilante now it’s the Crosman Tripple threat (offering 3 interchangeable barrels). I use to read comments on Airgun Forums (still do) about it being the same gun back when it was originally produced in the 80’s maybe even earlier. Many of the guns are cyclical. Some guns do go away, or they stop manufacturing them for some reason or the other. The prices sometimes stay steady, or they go way up and stay that way for years on that same original design. Anyway, that’s been my experience….. Glad that you’re still plinking with it. I don’t shoot mine that often, but with this video I noticed some of the accuracy view points. In my case, if I were to continue to use it more often, I probably would change out the scope. Sorry about the book……. Airguns are just interesting subjects for me! Take Care …. And Welcome to continue to watch…… 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫

Crappy Chinese airgun

[@airgunsraider1007]

@janbergan2109 Thank You for Your Comment! I definitely appreciate your opinion…. This is exactly what I hoped would happen… The reason is Dialogue about any and all Airguns that are presented on this channel. Absolutely! Not all airguns are created equal… Your response is not unlike many of those that I read before purchasing this gun. I assume that you have had personal experiences with this gun. A lot of the people who purchased this gun have responded exactly the way that you have. So I understand. I tell everybody looking to collect, “Collecting Airguns is Fun!” This gun, and many guns may fit in the category of crap… but that does not apply to every airgun. With that said…… Let’s explore Options together… If you come back to this message .. It would be nice if you would share a Choice gun that would be a better choice to preview …… it could be another crappy gun, or it could be top tier….. it doesn’t matter. What Airguns do you enjoy? Please come back and continue the discussion. This is one of the reasons that I am here on KZbin. I like to share and enjoy all kinds of Airguns from the crappy to the better, and the best. If I haven’t collected it yet, maybe the Airgun that you will present could be one that is on my list or maybe one I’m looking to collect. Awesome Airgun response!!! 🔫
