Sting Like A B!

Phill Price asks is this one of the most important airguns in the UK?

When you ask local gun shop owners what they sell most of from day to day, the answer is always the same. Cheap, break-barrel springers. This is what most of the UK population owns as their first airgun. When you come from a shooting family and you walk into your local gun shop with a sensible budget, guess what he’s going to offer you? Most often it will be an SMK B2.

There are many times in this world’s history when the axiom of ‘if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it’ was true, and this is one of them. Most new airgunners need a simple gun and the B2 is easily understood and enjoyed. Because it uses so few moving parts, there’s less likely to go wrong, especially if it’s handled roughly, and poorly maintained. On the subject of maintenance, it’s a gun that can be serviced by anybody with a workshop and some mechanical skills.
