This is my new favorite rifle that I have. It's so nice to take a break from pumping and barrel breaking, just load and shoot. I have the 9oz bottle on her since I'm still breaking her in. I also have a 4oz bottle that looks way better, it's half the size. I'll be using that one most of the time. I'm really happy with it so far. Here's a few pics. I hope you guys enjoy looking at and sharing pics as much as I do!

Ernesto

That is great Ern. You have to admit the QB's are just plain fun to shoot.

I actually don't mind the 9oz tank look. Nice looking gun. Is that an Archer "custom shop" model?

You can’t go wrong with a QB Earesto, and like you say no pumping or cocking a Springer, their what I call easy shooting.

BTW what is the lump on the end of the barrel, break or something else? Smile

Very nice. What is the black foam material on the comb?

I think everyone with a QB79 would like to know where you got a 9 oz. tank that is not only small enough to fit, but has enough room for a foam insulating sleeve as well.... All the 9 oz. tanks I have seen are 2.1" OD which means they press against the barrel....

It's got the Archer offset block on it for 9oz tanks

That's what made me ask if it was one of Archers "Custom Shop" build

Hey glad you guys like it and thanks for the nice comments. SMP these guns are a blast to shoot! And yes it's from Archer's. I wanted the custom shop one but he only had it in .22 and I wanted a .177 so he built me this one.

Alstone it's a muzzle break from Archer's on the end there. It looks like some kind of sleeve to me but looks better then nothing I guess. I would like a TKO brake on it someday, this thing is pretty loud!

Slavia that black foam material is from a shooting rest I got. When I got it the foam pad was damaged so the company sent me two replacements. I got the spare one and cut it into a cheek rest shape, it has adhesive on the back so that's how it stays on. It worked out well and looks pretty cool I think.

Rsterne SMP is right, I got the offset block from Archer's. It works great and gives me room for a foam tank cover Smile

I was looking for a breech spacer and didn't see one.... Never thought to look at the tank block, but now I see it's got additional drop to accomodate the 9 oz. tank....

I have that kind of thing on several of my guns. I use toolbox drawer liner with double faced tape. It is especially nice in the winter - much more comfy than laying your cheek on a cold buttstock. Which, of course, is probably not a concern for you. (Given the green grass in February and the palms in the background.)

Plus it dresses up the gun and looks cool.

Laughing Laughing Laughing Yeah it's 80 degrees here in Miami in the middle of winter! Slavia you can also use a racing motorcycle foam seat pad to make a custom cheek rest, it has adhesive on the backside so it will always stay put. I think the foam cheek rest completly changed the look of the rifle, it's my favorite part and feels real comfortable too. The tool box liner idea is also a great one, I never thought of that.

I forgot to ask, can I leave the bottle on the gun or should I remove it after each use?

I bought one years ago and still shoot her today.

Enjoy your QB
