i somehow managed to break my stock b3 mainspring , and need some info on what will fit it . also what size threads are the forearm screws ? i was plainging to finish the tune i started on it and give it to a hunting buddy of mine who needs a new air rifle but cannot afford one . even a stock spring would work for now , if any one has one . the seals are good all i need to do is find a spring , i dont have much cash until next month so i will prolly get one then .
if i cant find a spring what would be a good hunting rifle for him ? my fixed income limits what i can spend , i think i would have about $50 next month of extra cash after bills and things are payed .i was thinking of geting a new b3 and a tune kit and fix it up for him but am not sure .

Matt give me your addy and I'll send a spring your way no charge. :) I live in MI. so shipping ain't nothing. :) Ed

Oh and the spring is new but as with all my extra B3 spring's hehe I have debured and polished the end's up. :) Ed
-
thanks ! i will send a pm right away .
-
that's what I love about these guys!

Just helping out a GTA family member. :) Ed

The best cheap gun I can think of is a Winchester 800 at sportsman guide for $49.
-
that is a good deal , unfortanatly they will not ship airguns to michigan like alot of web sites even thoug it is .177 and perfectly legal to do so .

cleaned it all up striped all the camo off (my camo skills are not that great was good pratice :) )and painted the action semi gloss black and cleaned up the insides and lubed it up . also refinished the stock . just waiting for the spring , Ed thank you i hope you rememberd :) .
now that its mostly taken care of exept for the cocking lever clamp that i broke while remoiveing it , i was wondering what a good cheap hunting scope would be ? i was thinking of a daisy 3-9x32 if i can find one as i hear they are nice scopes for the price . i wound not mind a 4x or 6x 32 most my shooting is done in the 4-6 power range anyway . maybe a 2-7 ? i was looking at the 2.5x20 tech force scope , anyone have one ? i think it would be a nice compact scope for clsoe up squirrel hunting .
i am still unsure if i am going to give kyle the b3 or buy him a new one , i realy like it . or if i could find a fast deer or .... i dunno i was thinking of tellign him i plan to get him a air rilfe and haveing him pick one out . not sure if thats a good idea or not .

Of coarse buddy the spring is on it's way. :) Ed

thank you so much Ed :) . i think i may have found a scope it is from the diana 24 i had a few years back . it is a 3-9x40bushnell sport view or something like that , it was lying around in my powder gun cabinet i think i used it on my savage 22lr this past squirrel season , it dose fog a bit now though i think hte nitrogen has leaked out .

redid the stock ,agin. i did not like the look of all that wood filler . also while i was at it i added finger groves and added spaces to the butt plate for some extra lop . made a cocking lever clamp out of some sort of plastic stock i had . still need to see if it will hold up but it seems like it will . still have some more stuff to do and should be up and shooting this week , if i can get some pellets im out :O how did i let that happed ?
i am still trying to figure out what gun to get kyle and what scope (still may give him the b3 i dunno ), no one has said if the tech fore scopes i asked about are any good . i saw the b-3-3 and that looks nice but kinda pricey . can any thing decent be done with the .177 call b2 ? all he needs is squirrel killing power not a super magnum 1100 fps monster .
