I have watched your videos a number of times. QB78 and 79 are too much fun. Its winter in Canada and I am jonesing for some warm weather for backyard plinking. Thanks for your videos.
I will soon have a Fully-Tuned QB-79 Repeater from Mike Mileck of Flying Dragon Air-Rifles! Cannot wait for this awesome Co2 Powered Air-Rifle. The Repeater Action actually snaps onto the breech! Anyway, from the reviews I've been reading, Mike Mileck "milks" every bit of power these Air-Rifles have to offer! Great videos by the way!:) Happy/Safe Shooting!:)
I got a 100fps increase from drilling out the bolt probe and replacing the transfer port to a crosman 1377 t/f port, took the buffer off the valve stem and I got 600fps out of the box in .22 and now I get 710 fps..14.3 gr. Hollow points. I also have a. 177 and did the same thing and it gets 800 fps. Light 5.4gr. pellets. 750 fps on 7.4 destroyers. Mine are both QB78s' and they were dirt cheap on amazon. I paid $59.00 for the .177 and $69.00 for the .22 but they rival my crosman 2240s in .22 and .177 and the Diana chaser as well. You cant go wrong with a Beeman...good and affordable.
Except for the stock,these QB's are looking very much like the 160's that they emulate. Very nice state of tune and a group to be proud of ! Peace from New York State,USA
All precharged air rifles, CO2 but better high pressure air rifles are very forgiving to shoot and even novices can shoot them well, a spring rifle is a different beast how ever.Thanks for the nice comment, and sorry for the delayed response. Gert.
I bought one of these guns...its super accurate. .cant get much better..but not much power..im gonna take it apart soon n polish everything n knock all the sharp spots off..but its a nice gun..n..im sure i can get a little more power out of it..but thanks..i like your videos..you do a great job
I have enjoyed your videos very much. Very well done and informative. Have you completed the video on how you did your mod on the QB78? I haven't been able to find it. If you haven't done the video yet, can I get the written steps you did on your mod? I just got the same air rifle a few weeks ago and want to do what you have done to yours. Thanks.
You can achieve much more than 10.5 ft lbs, i know this one is a .177 so slightly more limited but 10.5 can definitely be beaten, the .22 can go as high as 21ft lbs with the right tuning, my .22's are running at just under 17ft lbs
@@shaun1040 age is irrelevant, all the mods required to get them to max power can be done for free, even the probe bolt can be made by modifying the standard restrictive bolt, i have two rifles like that, one has a bought probe bolt and the other i modified myself. both have a number of other internal modifications and output vastly more power than the one in this video.
my qb79 mod the bolt and the valve maybe run 750 fps or more with crosman premier pellets good rifle hunt pigueons and iguanas in puerto rico [my inglish is very bad ] im sorry good video
Hey bud what is the best pellet for the qb79 in 177 cal. So far the crosman hollow point 7.9 gran works the best so far but I know that gun could do better your thoughts THANKS
gertsafari I got one myself one today. And indeed after some quick practice getting used to this gun I am falling in love with it. Thanks for the reply!

I would really like to own a crosman 160 but they're unobtainium here in EU.

I mean this video is also 8yrs old so probably different parts and things available

Have you tried the h&n exterminator yet they say there very accurate l think the grain is 7.2
Do you have to do anything special to go to hi pressure air on the qb79 or can you just change the tank the jbs 8.44 are awsum thanks for info.
my qb79 mod the bolt and the valve maybe run 750 fps or more with crosman premier pellets good rifle hunt pigueons and iguanas in puerto rico [my inglish is very bad ] im sorry good video

Mine likes JSB 8.44 grain a lot.
SA? What are the limits there?
Do you prefer the 79 over the 78?
Is the Hw80 still recommended buying today?
Thanks in advance.
I would say so, the only air rifle that a book was written about.... and still very good to this day.
