It arrived this afternoon! My new QB78 Deluxe, the Crosman 167 lookalike. First impression: very good! This also arrived today First things first, load powerlets, a few shots to clean the internals, shot a few felt pads and finally got to shoot some pellets. Loading, cocking, shooting, all went as I had hoped for. Accurate too. After abt 60 shots I could hear a drop in power, shot abt 15 times more and ran a few felt pads again and then it was empty. After I bought and shot the CB9 earlier this year I was happy, this QB78 really puts a smile on my face. Will take it apart tonight to tweak it according to all the tips I've got.

Quite easy to work on too. Mine was very accurate with Barakuda Extra Heavies. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 7:22 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Nice buy Brutuz, if you get a good barrel then you have a very adaptable gun. Anton what happened to yours?

It's at my buddies place. He's supposed to buy it from me, but first he wants to fix me with a new bolt. It's kind of the gun that Anton forgot. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 11:29 am Brutuz Senior Member Joined: 12 Jan 2009 Posts: 504 Tnx for the tips, please check this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IddDRthnEG0 Broom you're featured as well _________________ Crosman [1300 1322 1377 1377c 1389 2289G Mark II SSP250 2300KT 2400KT ] Sheridan [HB20] Haenel [III 284] SMK [XS78 Deluxish] My vids on Youtube   Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 1:46 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands What I like about these QB78's, is that they have a nice feel to it. It's not that much a quality feel but something special. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 2:54 am Brutuz Senior Member Joined: 12 Jan 2009 Posts: 504 broommaster2000 wrote: What I like about these QB78's, is that they have a nice feel to it.

Visited a friend this afternoon. The one with the tuned high power Talon SS pistol. He's got an indoor 12 meter range. After adjusting the scope shooting 5 bull paper targets I managed to keep them all within the black! When I got home I took a few pics: _________________ Crosman [1300 1322 1377 1377c 1389 2289G Mark II SSP250 2300KT 2400KT ] Sheridan [HB20] Haenel [III 284] SMK [XS78 Deluxish] My vids on Youtube   Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 8:01 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND It would appear Brutuz that your QB is of reasonable quality judging by the way you close the bolt, it looks very smooth. On mine you needed a hammer to close it when new, even now with many hours of work on it including two different barrels it still shoots where if fancies. personally it is still a piece of crap until I get a decent barrel fitted. I think you did the right thing by getting the Deluxe model, it certainly looks the part.

Sure took you the time to realise... Hey Al, the QB78 Deluxe barrels are said to be better then the normal ones. Over here they only sell the deluxe ones because the other ones were rubbish. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 10:03 am Brutuz Senior Member Joined: 12 Jan 2009 Posts: 504 It does cock easy, to easy, will preload the spring using washers tomorrow, if it gets to loud I'll detune it again. Did enlarge the probe hole today, very carefully, using a cone shaped dremel grinding stone, manual first to check, next used it in the dremel itself, lowest power mode, switching on/off briefly. No chrony available but it feels like 600+ fps, maybe even the 650 factory spec. _________________ Crosman [1300 1322 1377 1377c 1389 2289G Mark II SSP250 2300KT 2400KT ] Sheridan [HB20] Haenel [III 284] SMK [XS78 Deluxish] My vids on Youtube My new QB78 (sold)     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Picture Gallery You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 3   Goto page 1, 2, 3  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
