Canadian Airgun Forum

Hey guys, been awhile since I've posted on here. Haven't really been into the hobby since moving a number of years ago but still have all my coolest custom and vintage pieces.

Anyway, what with Covid going on I thought it might be a good idea to get something that doesn't need CO2 to operate in case I need to eat squirrels or something. Needed to be fixed barrel, a springer and cheap. B3's aren't so cheap anymore, and I left mine behind with a friend years ago. Enter the B6C...

Fixed barrel, springer, side cocker(!), and cheap. Fit all the needs, but wow, this is not the Industry Brand construction I am used to. This is why people avoid Chinese airguns. But, cheap. So I tested it, worked and was basically accurate. Enter the mods.

Normally I work with wood and metal, but I got a 3D printer a while ago so I was able to do some cosmetics and other upgrades very quickly. Fun! I haven't touched the internals yet because I don't see a need right now. I did replace the cotter pins on the trigger with small bolts since roll pins are hard to come by in that size right now.

Anyway, before and after below. Going to be sighting it in today, though when I had the irons on it was acceptable.

Might have went slightly overboard on the cosmetics.

Awesome mods to that one. It's amazing what can be done with 3D printers now - and how cheap they have become.

I gotta say that's very well done.

Thanks, time to sight in the red dot.

And after beating your head against the wall for weeks trying to get nice prints, these things are pretty amazing indeed!

Can't really complain for resting it on my knee at 12M. Curious to see what it will do from a bench in better light. Used Daisy's as always, switched them from Crosman a long time ago and they are my go to cheap pellets.

Amazing, and seems to want to shoot, as well.
