160 O/H instructions?

(1/6) > >>

Hoosier Daddy:
Since making the deal on my new-2-me Cosman 160 I have been on a search for rebuild instructions. Actually surprised I could not find a video on YouTube.
 I have found it was done on "another airgun blog"in two parts.

 He does a good job of detailing with photos . I would like to find another source to compare.
 Anyone know of another place to go for instruction?

CraigH:
Here are two QB78 pages - Hope they are useful.    Anotherairgunblog is a very useful website for sure.

CraigH:
Took a while to relocate this:

http://stevespages.com/pdf/crosman_factory_service_manual_all.pdf

There is a Crosman 160/167 section.

The Crosman website has an EVP, but of course no parts are available from them.

Hoosier Daddy:
Thanks Craig!
I have the Crosman Service Manual PDF downloaded from trying to score a 140/1400. It helped me determine I have a 3rd variant 160. My first ever gun was a 160 but the safety on this one is like my AR2078....  I now know that is another Variant 3 clue.
 So a QB78 is that much of a clone?

CraigH:
Yes, the QB78 is a Chinese clone of the Crosman 160.   Quite popular but I am quite sure having the real thing is much to be preferred.   I do not have a 160 (  :( ) but by all reports they copied the 160 very well.   External things like the sights are quite different and the stock is a bit chunky.

Here is a useful page regarding parts interchangeability:
