Hi Keygun,
Welcome to our world.
Now a days you have a variety. From a few thousands to several thousand. Cannon, AK, IHP, SDB and PH to name a few. PH has the advantage of a nitro piston and safety on trigger. SDB is a beast you need to tame. IHP, what ever said about it, is a classic and sweet of tuned well. The list goes on. In fact the forum is a treasure mine that will help you decide.
All the best.

thanks BD. i will consider cannon sdb and ihp. if i am to go for ihp should i go for fiber stock or wooden stock? is there any difference in performance between these two? fiber stock looks good in appearence to me.

I personally like the feel of wood. But not sure about the quailty of wood used by our local manufacturers so would suggest the synthetic stock. Buy once but buy something you'd be happy with in the long term

Dear Kaygun,
Nice to note that IHP 35 with synthetic stock is having built in scope rail.
You have not posted picture of breech seal.

sorry basuji, i uploaded the second photo thimking it was of breech seal, but it was the same scope rail

i am uploading it with this.
but i have a few doubts.
1. when i load g.smith pointed and round head pellets, a little bit of skirt projects beyond the breech( about .5-1mm). is it normal or will it harm my rifle. with cheaper marksman shot pellets, it easily goes in and no part of skirt projects out. so i have temporarily stopped shooting with g.smith. i am uploading pics of the same with this.
2. can i directly mount a scope to this scope rail?
3. or do i need to buy any special kind of scope to fit this rail?

Dear keygun,
This Gsmith pellet is not good for this barrel , the skirt and head is also very tight fit in your breech.
Better try and use other pellets.
Breech seal seems to be at least not of leather, may be synthetic, good for consistency in terms of power thus accuracy.

Congratulations Keygun on your purchase of the IHP35 (22 cal I presume)....
Its a good AR for beginners....
It takes about 500 to 700 shots to settle down - be patient!
As regards knowing whether it has a 'synthetic seal' - you have to dis-assemble the gun to find out....if you are new to air guns i wouldn't advice you to do it

Dry different types / brands of pellets - then settle on the one brand that suits your gun....
Good Luck
