I might be getting a .177 qb78 soon to tinker with before rabbit season (so I can shoot them out of my window without the neighbors hearing a magnum springer).

What can I do to a stock 78 to clean and polish things like the trigger group and such? I'm not at all familiar to the qb78 family, but they seem simple.

I plan to order the gun with the Leapers accushot compact one piece mounts from Archer Airguns, will those fit my Tasco 3-9x40? Or will I need high mounts?

The QB 78 is a bit rough when first bought, the whole gun needs to be taken apart and given a good clean and polish, trigger job and lube also probably a re-crown.

These posts will give you some idea fritz, I havent located the one on the QB trigger yet but it's in there some where.

Thanks, the guys on the yellow convinced me to get one already, now I'm gonna have to tune the girl when I get her.

QBs are like a diamond in the rough.......with a little spit and polish they can be made into great guns. I love mine!!!

Check out flying dragon air rifles for a no remorse purchase..................talk to Mike Melick on the different trims....they are cheap to shoot after you get your bulk fill endcap and bulk fill off a 20 oz paintball tank. qb's are based on some of your old school crosmans .
You will not be sorry you spent the extra money. It will be tuned & tested for accuracy and power plus a trigger job before you ever touch it. All this With a guarantee!!!

I think I'm going to work on this one, I find great satisfaction in doing my own work. Don't think I will bulk fill it anytime soon, though. Gonna have to buy a soft guitar case so I can transport her to my workshop without the neighbors $harting some bricks. Will have to fit my laptop in there too for the qb tune guides.
