    SMK XS19 break barrel air rifle may trade for air pistol. archery bow

    SMK XS19 break barrel air rifle may trade for air pistol. archery bow

    I believe those are the B2 rifles which are the lowest quality- This is an XS19 which is a copy of the Gamo 220/440, The XS rifles are CNC made and not the 'draw filed and rivetted' type, £65 is a good price for one of these ;) If you scroll down this page (third gun down) you'll find they're...
