They are a Bam B3 underlever 650fps..... I may have stamping on the top of the tube of a seal/sealion type critter...

I felt excited when we got an AccuAir Force with a scope for $49.00 new and have been surprised at the quality it shows. So when they say you get what you pay for this is not always true sometimes you can get a great bargain that is much better than what you paid for it. Hopefully you will find your Sea Lion is a great deal like that, especially since you don't have far to go to be pleased with that price. BTW Sea Lion is a great name for a gun and the logo probably looks great. How about some pics?   Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 12:09 pm midnightsniper Member Joined: 04 Feb 2010 Posts: 60 Location: Upstate,SC,USA I am going to get pics of all my guns.My friend found the Sea Lion new at a local flea market and we use it like a,well it get's passed back and forth between us.   Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 5:28 pm midnightsniper Member Joined: 04 Feb 2010 Posts: 60 Location: Upstate,SC,USA I only have a phone cam.Sorry for the crappy pics.Kids lost the good digi cam. This is my friends Daisy 880 on top and the Sea Lion on bottom.I also have a Daisy 880 but mine is in better condition.Both have the full metal reciever and pump. Same thing with the Sea Lion in the cock and load position. Here's the best shot I could get of the logo.This gun doesn't have a safety.   Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 8:02 pm VENI VIDI VICI Member Joined: 16 Jan 2010 Posts: 71 Considering Polymags cost nearly 20 bux a tin, i would say you got an extremely good deal! 20$ doesnt buy much these days! maybe 6 gallons of gas, a pizza, you can even get 2 movie tickets for 20 anymore. So i would have most definetly thrown down and Andrew Jackson for that gun!   Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:09 pm kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand midnightsniper wrote: I only have a phone cam.Sorry for the crappy pics.Kids lost the good digi cam.

WELL....It would apair that its not only the B3 underlever that comes out under the Sealion brand.....BUT the B2-1 aswell... THATS A B2-1....I have one rebranded as a Stirling"diffrent stock" neat wee plinkers..... But haveing a good look at the pic...Just maybe its a B1 with a B2-1 stock Fore site & rear tube cap are the same as a B1...& stock is the same as the B2-1....there's no cocking latch so its not a B2-1 action... I would say its a B1 action in a B2-1 stock.....Who knows... Normaly...."Indestry brand"..Made by the Shanghi air gun company Pete   Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:57 pm midnightsniper Member Joined: 04 Feb 2010 Posts: 60 Location: Upstate,SC,USA Does anyone happen to know what fps or ft lbs this gun is supposed to shoot?It hits a lot harder than I thought it would.   Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 10:31 pm kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand midnightsniper wrote: Does anyone happen to know what fps or ft lbs this gun is supposed to shoot?It hits a lot harder than I thought it would. B1 ... 620fps Fpe depends on pellet weight... Eg...8 grain pellet @ 550fps = 5.3fpe..

I really should consider purchasing a chronograph.   Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2010 2:29 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA E=m*(v^2)/450240 E is the kinetic energy in foot pounds, hence FPE m is the mass of the (lead) projectile in grains v is the velocity in feet per second Or, you could just go here: http://www.airgunhome.com/pages/calculators.html _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2010 2:34 pm midnightsniper Member Joined: 04 Feb 2010 Posts: 60 Location: Upstate,SC,USA Slavia wrote: E=m*(v^2)/450240 E is the kinetic energy in foot pounds, hence FPE m is the mass of the (lead) projectile in grains v is the velocity in feet per second Or, you could just go here: http://www.airgunhome.com/pages/calculators.html Thanks.That helps a lot.
