Yes, that's the chinese breakbarrel airgun, right?
I bought one at a "tools, tools, tools" tool expo that comes to town once a year, for $27.95
My example misfired the second or third time I loaded it. I broke the barrel, inserted a pellet, and vigorously snapped the barrel back up into position, and promptly put a hole in the archway over my ceiling.
Scared the hell out of me.
When I got used to being very carefull and gentle when loading, and started shooting, I couldn't get less than a 3 inch group at 9 yards. Even off of my mtm shooting rest. Hard hold, gentle, whatever, no love from this gun.
Too bad really, because it hits like a hammer, and was cheap like borscht. I would have liked to have tried the .177 caliber one.
I later found out that the .22 caliber airguns are export only, and aren't allowed to be sold within china. Only .177 and I would assume products made and used locally would be of better quality.
Mine is on extended loan with my youngest brother, because it wouldn't sell for any price on the canadian airgun forum. I probably shouldn't have reported the accuracy issues with it before I tried to sell it.
(just kidding, I'm an honest seller) If you want a .22 airgun, you should buy the 2240 I have for sale in the hunting and sporting arms category... 80 bucks shipped, new in package.

At least my b4-2 is. mine is in .177 and I am in the process of customizing it. If you want a cheap plinker they are great as is. if you like to tinker you can make it into a good plinker. If you want a quality rifle stay away.

Oh, then I must be thinking of the B2 or B3 or whatever.
