Got These Today


Recommended Posts


Yup, the black one looks like an old SMK. A shooting buddy gave me one of those recently, it had a nice orange varnish finish on the stock. :laugh: If there's Chinese ideograms on the top of the action at the back, you're fecked. :cray:

 

The rifle felt like it was putting out around 1 fpe. Gave it to my neighbour, who doesn't have the dosh to buy his own air rifle to plink the magpies that plague his stables. Even he said it was shite! :icon_eek:

I'm not THAT good a neighbour! :tongue2:

 

I did once lend him an 18 fpe Cometa in .22 that I used to own. He knocked down a few maggies with that.

 

I told him to take the SMK apart, put about a pound of washers behind the piston head, reassemble and see what happens. Haven't heard back from him on that one... :hmm:

If you look at online reviews, they'll be mixed -- but the older Relums seem to be better regarded. Sounds like they're very basic, but get the job done, and can keep going for years. Chambers & Co do spares for them, I think, so you can always fix 'em if they go wrong. If you didn't pay over the odds for them, you may find they do what you need in terms of plinking and pest control. See here for some reviews.
