Скачать или смотреть B3-4 Woodsman Titan Tytan Chinese underlever air rifle

Last year I bought a B3-3, an in-expensive Chinese underlever rifle in .177 cal, nice stock, fair finish, tru-glo sights and a nice trigger with a manual safety.

Earlier this year I bought a B2-2, cheap as chips, quality as expected, a bit rough, harsh trigger but fun rifle for the money. I wouldn't recommend that particular version to someone who only wants to own one rifle, but as an extra garden plinker it's cheap and nice.

A few weeks ago Tasm, member of http://ukchineseairgunforum.myfreefor... pointed me this Polish webshop http://www.tarcza.pl that sells the all new model .177 cal B3-4 "Woodsman". It has a very nice looking stock with chequering and a new type cocking lever handle which clicks in it's holder just beneath the front sight. Both front and rear sight are of the tru-glo type, where the front sight is semi-hooded which protects the tru-glo bead.

I just had to have it and contacted the store by email, written in English. No reply. After mentioning this to Tasm he explained they only correspond in Polish and I had to use http://translate.google.com . Another email translated into Polish resulted in a confirmation the rifle was in stock and bankdetails to be used for an international bank transfer in Zlotty's.

During corresponding with tarcza.pl Tasm pointed me to another Polish webshop, http://www.sztucer.pl who sell the same rifle branded as B3-4 Titan, available in both .177 and .22 cal. since these are in-expensive rifles I decided not to bet on one horse and send them an email in both English and Polish. They responded in English and soon after an email the deal was closed. In fact same afternoon as closing the deal with tarcza.pl

Sztuzer delivered fast, abt one week, Tarca's parcel a week after.

Both companies put some paper/pieces of cardboard in the factory boxes and wrap them in plastic.

That's asking for trouble.

Sztutzer's shipment had one rifle with a severely dented stock. They promised to replace it. Am waiting for a replacement stock to be delivered.

Tarca's rifle had a dent in the stock too, not very bad but it could have been prevented by double boxing the shipment.

I had asked both companies to do so upon ordering.

Lesson learned: buying local is more hassle-free and if a package has to be returned it is in-expensive compared to international return-shipping.

International purchases can be interesting though when a particular rifle's variant cannot be bought local.

Bottom line: I'm very happy with these rifles and the service and communication with both companies. If I'd want to buy from Poland again I'm going to make sure it is a company who corresponds in either English or German.

The .22 version has been tweaked, as shown in the video, since I like that particular rifle most I decided to invest in a custom spring from http://www.woodfield-gcp.co.uk which should result in an increase of power of abt 1.5 fpe. A second vid will be made incl. footage of shooting the rifle and accuracy.

B3-3 review by Brutuz62 here    • Snowpeak B3-3 underlever air rifle .177 cal  

I suspect this rifle has been made by SPA / Shaoxing Snowpeak Air Gun Factory but cannot confirm. The BAM factory can be excluded, they replied they do not manufacture this B3-4 underlever spring air rifle
