I think Mike also has the QB repeaters on sale also. If I am not mistaken it can be used on the B50 but will have to be self indexed.

Thank You Mike The spare O-rings and firing valve were a nice bonus too - both were needed right away. My first trip into thebowels of an Airgun...it wasn't half bad! :-)
I can only speak to my case specifically.The rifle's air chamber emptied when I opened the bleeder after filling, so I replaced the check valve o-ring. it was obviously bad upon inspection. After that I was able to fill the gun, open the bleeder and remove the hose, problem solved. So I knew the problem was solved.I first filled the gun to 2800psi, but when I cocked and pulled the trigger I got that "the gun has no air" clunk. I had this happen to me before with a different gun and the valve was locked. So I reconnected the hose, equalized pressure, closed the tank valve and cracked the bleeder to drain the pressure down to 1500psi to see if the valve would work. nope. Drained it down totally, filled back to 1000psi, still no airflow. I'm starting to think I have a valve problem. So I drained it empty again, pulled the barrel and used a screwdriver to push the valve stem and prove it had movement, it did. So I used "the book" to disassemble the gun and get the valve out the front of the air tube. Sure enough, that firing valve was cracked at the shoulder. I put the new one in, put it all back together, filled to 1000psi or something like that, and now I have a working gun. Put a few shots through it to quick-center the scope. That was the end of my day.Now I get to make sure it held pressure, retest at 2800psi, and shoot a few rounds for grins while the gun settles in. That B50 "book" has already been an immensely valuable resource. (Sorry to bore the experienced airgun guys...)

As too the poppet valve, OEM valve is prone to damage because of the super heavy short travel spring holding poppet within valve. You fire on Low / No air and the massive hammer can drive the stem right on threw the head. The Replacement poppet provided is beefed up

I don't have mine yet so you probably just saved me from pulling it out of the box and ruining the poppet with boyish enthusiasm right off the bat.
Is there a way to adjust/test the trigger without having air in the gun? I don't have a pump yet but I'm planned on going over this B-51 and my FDPCP .22 before the weather warms up here in NY.I've definitely dry fired the FDPCP, is that prone to the same kind of damage?
