secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I like Hatsans, everybody knows that, nice guns, solidly built, exceptional value for money. If you look on the secondhand market there are quite a few around, but bear in mind that a new one is under £100 from quite a few dealers! So do not let people rip you off with charges of £120 for just the gun, it has been known to happen. The only SMK I have any experience of was the (Westlake) B2, which is very cheap (about £40), rough as a badger's backside, not built to last, noisy as a crash in the brass section of a full sized orchestra and available secondhand from many hopeful sellers at prices exceeding what they paid for it!

rossy08 33 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Dont fall into the trap like mole and every one elce do's. westlake= imported by smk smk rifles ie xs36 made for smk, theres a big differance there in regards to build quality. nothing wroung with the smk xs36 thing there was a bit of a review in airgun shooter in there last mag. the smk rifles like the xs36 and model 19 are about the same quality as the hatsan to be fair, Andy Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Not talking about the XS36, I am on about the B2, break barrel cricket bat job! Great fun gun, bought for fun not serious shooting! I am talking about the lowest of the low price Chinese plinkers and people are trying to sell these B2 ones second hand for more than they would cost new! Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Ah I see, the Westlake is imported by SMK, whereas the XS36 is made for them, I see now, Mole puts glasses on... Silly Mole, but people will sell the B2 as an SMK, so perhaps a worthy heads up warning anyway? Edited March 15, 2011 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post
