I made a flub!!! Today I dropped by GKM Armoury and noticed the tag on the XS-B3 rifle said ".177 caliber". I said "what!?" and had a quick look at the muzzle. Sure enough it's .177. Hmmm... I assumed the shipment was .22 caliber rifles because that's what everyone seems to be getting in Canada, myself included. I didn't even know the .177 was detuned or imported here.

Okay, I know what you are going to ask

No, I did not chronograph the rifle but I did shoot 2 pellets into a 2x4 at the gunshop. The gunshop employee is a great guy and he let me blast 2 domed pellets into a scrap of wood that we have used in the past. I also shot one pellet from a new CZ-630. The B3 penetrated to about 5/16" from the back of skirt to wood surface. The 630 was about 1/16" less depth. The shots were taken about 6" from the wood. What does this mean? I have no idea

GMK Armoury has five of the XS-B3 rifles left and all are in .177 caliber. No PAL needed. Price is $109.99.

Sorry for the past posts where I assumed they were .22 caliber.

Phone the store. After more than 20 years in business they still prefer the phone. The old fella isn't much into computer stuff. He's more of a shooter than electronic junkie

I dunno what's up with the web site. His wife maintains it but...

You can get more info about GMK at "Where to buy in Canada".
