Thanks.

The BAM only comes in .22 cal and .177 cal, but not in .20cal and is slightly less powerful overall. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

And how does the B26 differ from the B2? Thanks for the info.

The B2 is significantly different- it's trigger is no Rekord copy (don't know if the B26 is or isn't). The B2 is a $30 gun- even the B26 is nearly $200.00. Reasonably, I think we could assume even the Chinese manufacturer isn't putting the two in the same class with that sort of price difference in place. The B2 is really a project gun- it is full of Chinese red-goo lube, a fairly poor trigger (hard to pull), cheap Chinese mystery wood stock and oftentimes little problems that need to be adjusted, such as mis-mounted front sights. Don't get me wrong- with a proper lube/tune, re-adjusting any parts, polishing the trigger, and refinishing the wood- you'd have no idea it was a $30 gun- more like a $150-200 gun- but straight out of the box it isn't terribly great. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."
