Hey everyone,
Looking at the Black Bunker BM8(0.22) as my first airgun. Even with all the negativity in reviews, I still really want one.
Got a few questions before I commit tho:
Where to buy in the EU? Listings are either US-based, sold out, or €100 more than the US price. US is around $200, EU around €300.
Gas ram concerns: I’ve learned gas rams aren’t great against the test of time and a leak can force you to buy a whole new piston.
Replacement piston: Found a store in Sweden that sells a BM8 factory full power piston (€73, 24J .22). Also saw a guy who fitted a Gamo piston and it worked quite nicely.
Last question — has anyone tried to mod this thing?
Any general first-airgun advice or BM8-specific tips welcome.
