It looks kind of fair value to money. Build quality is comparable, if not a bit better, then the Ratcatcher. Neat lil' thing. Testing it in an hour or so. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 1:54 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA At least you got it sighted in before heading out to the range! Seriously, I hope you have fun with it. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 2:46 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA Broom....

How did you manage to get a left hander? That’s rare beast indeed, or did you flip the photo for effect.

But it's your fault, Al, your projects got me to get this one. By the way, my Crosman is a bigger piece of crap, I have to admit. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 4:08 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND broommaster2000 wrote: By the way, my Crosman is a bigger piece of crap, I have to admit.

Broom you have to review the qb.

I think it is something to do with hammer spring resting on the valve.

Alstone wrote: broommaster2000 wrote: By the way, my Crosman is a bigger piece of crap, I have to admit. Good! You have to keep the pecking order correct. Indeed. I was kind of surprised at the quality, even though the whole uper action doesn't seem to be all centered. Same goes for the rear sight. fritz wrote: Joe, at least the holes in the wall aren't too bad a group! Broom you have to review the qb. Did you get it in .177 or .22? My review will be going question-wise, in other words: It's a .177. yourdaddyjoe wrote: I think Slavia helped with the sighting in... To be honest, the groupings at 10 meters (about 11 yards) wasn't that great, but the whole action seems to be a bit loose. I'm gonna tear into it today though, we'll see what happens. Also answers this question: Slavia wrote: So, Broom - what did the non-photoshopped holes look like? Hope my answer was satisfactional. sniper wrote: yourdaddyjoe wrote: Broom....

Just got back from the Dentist and the Pain pills are kicking in... no sh!t. your room is more holy than church dude! i like it though. 2 questions. i thought you were getting a b-26? what fpe is the qb78? Well, the B-26 isn't very widely available here. I would have to import it from either the states or Poland. This was faster, and will be a way to get me into pre-charger rifles a bit more too. Same reason for the Crosman though... The QB78 is a CO2 gun, and with some effort you can up it to 12 Fpe. Right now, I can't tell. I don't have a Chrony here. kanyon wrote: Hey broom has it got MADE IN CHINA stamped on it ...

Guess theres no counting for taste all kool Yes, it's made in China, and it shows on this rifle. To be honest, I'm slowly changing my opinion about Chinese, Turkish and rifles, but you still need to be carefull with stuff made in countries that don't have very tight regulations (except for Gamo, I've heard they hardly ever come back after being broken, in stead of other European brands).

While on the subject, how do you get the action out, the safety is in the way... Crosman140 wrote: Hey, in my book, any air gun is a good air gun.

Well, this one mostly looks good on the wall, it's not that great a shooter yet. jonathan wrote: I see you got the QB78 deluxe model. Gold trigger and better sites. Fun guns to modify. Indeed, it needs work. I'm gonna polish parts today, first need to get me a Dremel though.
