Bought two new Chinese rifles a while ago.
A BMK26 and a BMK30
(http://i52.tinypic.com/1693vhz.jpg)
The BMK26 (the BMK20 for comparisson)
Lovely stock, only one spot on the bottom where a bit of filler is visible, shoots like a dream, 10 fps spread & 11,3 fpe while breaking in.
(http://i55.tinypic.com/2nbal9c.jpg)
The metal work of the BMK30 is a bit rougher but not disturbing, the stock is very nice, shoots like a dream too, 9 fps spread & 12.4 fpe while breaking in.
The BMK26 out of the box September 15: (Superfield)
(http://i54.tinypic.com/oqvl3t.jpg)
The BMK26 out of the box September 23: (Superdome)
(http://i52.tinypic.com/212fmzn.jpg)
a 10 fps spread too
After a "Lazy tune", no de-burring, only polished the spring ends, greased & inserted two slip washers into the piston and greased the spring:
(http://i55.tinypic.com/jrtjyu.jpg)
An even better spread, just a bit over the 12 fpe limit but that's no problem in the Netherlands.
Also shot a string with Superfields, just curious, the spread looks fab ;D
(http://i51.tinypic.com/25s1iqo.jpg)
No vids yet, both rifles need a bit of tlc first but I'm a bit busy at the moment.
Thanks for looking!
-
Very nice photos! I don't have the 30, but the 26 is really nicely done, IMO.
-
Very nice guns you got there and that 9 FPS spread on the 30 is sweeeeet.
-
Nice looking shooters, bro.
Cliff

Thanks all 8)

Ordered two more .22's since the BMK line seems to have been discontinued
a BMK12 and a BMK27 ;D
-
i just checked out your utube channel.....good stuff bro good stuff!
-
Yeah, real nice. By the way, is "tworr" still banned from your site?. I see that my PowerMax-HiPAC is still the only thing you have banned. Is anybody that post or ask about still threatened with getting kicked off the CAPO forum? Just curious as to how the censorship is giong.

Alex, I see you still have issues with Brutus. Keep them to yourself and do not discuss them on the GTA. As far as Brutus and his web site goes I personally endorse him. I personally am not up on how Co2, valves and springs work. But Brutus has been around a long time and I respect his opinions and ideals. Brutuz always keeps safety in mind. So back off if you want to continue posting on the GTA.
-
Yes Brutuz u do have great stuff on u tube i just watched a few and it was very entertaining and educational as well ....many clones are worth getting if u have skills to upgrade as your self and less expensive..... u did what was best at the time so i wouldnt call them lazy not with results like these...keep posting ...im always hungry so keep feeding me post and reviews...eyewear & shooting safe is our goal in our enjoyment of airguns ...Jorge

No, you don't see that i have an issue with Brutuz. Correct me if i'm wrong but i believe the only thing you read was one man asking another man a question, maybe two. You're putting more into it than i was. 53 satisfied users and not one complaint, accident or mishap speaks for itself. With the endorsements i've been given and the good track record i only ask if the ban was still in effect for others. I can't tell because i'm still banned.
I won't ask any more honest questions.
-
Rodents Rapture, Sir that was a questions that could have been kept private in a pm and yes it is quiet obvious that some kind of bad feelings exist between you and Brutuz, I assure you it will not be aired on the GTA. David
-
Bert, congrats on your two new rifles, only I think you basically have two the same ; the SMK19 and BMK27.
Only the wood is different, exactly the same action (Bam-19, Crosman quest)
Greetings luc, ;)

Thanks Luc 8)
Yes you are wright about the 19 > 27, same action, different stock, the 27 being a clone of the Remington® Summit (http://www.crosman.com/airguns/rifles/break-barrel/RW1K77X).
-
Bert, looks like you're going to collect all the numbers: 12, 20, 26, 27.....great looking air rifles.

I'm skipping the 50 though ;D

Replaced the BMK27's factory trigger with a GRTIII, huge improvement.
Replaced the "Polish 12.5 fpe spring" with a Crosman Quest spring, spring ends polished.
Average 10 shots
643.6 fps w. JSB Exact Express
623.0 fps w. RWS Superfield
689.7 fps w. RWS Superdomes (15.32 fpe)
Just out of curiosity shot one Gamo Raptor PBA, 9.9 grain: 828.3 fps / 15.09 fpe and after that one H&N Hollowpoint, 12.65 grain: 746.1 fps / 15.64 fpe which seems close to Crosman TAC 1 Extreme factory specs (up to 800 fps)
This was merely step one in tuning this rifle, will do the "real tuning" this fall/winter, de-burr, polish, clean, maybe it needs a new piston seal, maybe a delrin tophat and slipwasher, less preload (still have a shorty delrin spring guide extension in my bits box I think) maybe fit the other Quest spring I have which has allready been shortened a bit.
My tuned XS19 shoots much more civilised and I hope to transform this very nice 27 that same way 8)
-
GREAT STUFF BRUTZ!! And great looking ags Thanks David
-
Thanks David, I really enjoy tweaking this 27 and had a day off today since I had a week's 24/7 duty last week and "will do the "real tuning" this fall/winter" started today ;D
Best news today was that Mike is willing to ship a 28 to the Netherlands, allready bought parts from Mike in the past and now the rifle that has been on my wishlist for ages, I'm soooo happy and can't wait for my paycheck to arrive at the end of the month 8)

No I haven't Paul, only a quick test short range.
-
Just pushed the button ;D
(http://i56.tinypic.com/vi1mq9.jpg)
Did have to sell a few rifles, this 28 has been on my whishlist for a while and I'm happy I pushed the button.
Depending on Dutch customs it could take another 4 weeks (or more) before it arrives.

Brutuz, I ordered one last night also. Where did you purchase yours from? Bestairguns.com?
-
Can you get the BMK26 anywhere?
Has anyone looked at the Compasseco Jet?

Why did you say 4 weeks? He said mine will be at my door in 3-5 days because he has 5 or 6 in stock

I live in the Netherlands ;D

haha well that not worthy for you. I get to brag about mine 3 weeks before you can! :P haha just kiddin

Yeps my bad, I had to wait even longer for my custom 2300 and 2400 to arrive ;D
I've been tweaking my 27 show on the previous page of this topic:
(http://i54.tinypic.com/2mos3eu.jpg)
Waiting for a custom delrin top-hat and a few delrin powerbands, want to de-tune it to about 12 fpe ;)
-
haha well that not worthy for you. I get to brag about mine 3 weeks before you can! :P haha just kiddin
Mike will ship my 28 today or tomorrow, looking forward to your review on the 28 ;D 8)

Bert, congratulations with your new purchase, but what do you do with it?
A magnum springer for the distance you shoot (10 m) 11 yards or is this just a tuning project.
Luc,
-
Thanks Luc.
Owned an even more powerfull Hatsan earlier this year, sold it because I'm into collecting Chinese airguns ;D
My indoor backstop didn't have any problem with the 30 fpe Hatsan. This 28 is less powerfull. Allready ordered a spare spring. Might try several power set-ups.
Collecting and tuning are key words ;)

I've just made and published a video about the BMK26 aka B26-2 also mentioning Bestairgun.com 8)

Thanks 8) Glad you like the vid ;)
Meanwhile been busy tweaking the BMK27, the delrin top hat, slipwashers and spring guide block + powerbands arrived.
First used the 12 fpe'ish factory spring but next day the power dropped.
Since a full power Quest spring wasn't what I was looking for (too powerfull, a lot of recoil) I clipped one today and compressed the clipped end and flattened & polished it:
(http://i52.tinypic.com/30v0juv.jpg)
(http://i54.tinypic.com/2m2c6eb.jpg)
1) clipping
2) delrin slipwasher 2x + delrin top hat + clipped Quest spring + delrin powerband & delrin spring guide block + factory spring guide
3) Factory steel top hat + 12 fpe factory spring + factory spring guide block
4) unmodified Quest spring
2) is the current set-up:
(http://i52.tinypic.com/96jk1k.jpg)
Will replace the clipped Quest spring with a custom spring in the future, the custom spring in my XS19 (euro-specs) lowers cocking effort considerably and performance is great.
The XS28 Mike has sent me has arrived at Dutch customs a few days ago, hope to receive it next week.

The XS28 Mike has sent me has arrived at Dutch customs a few days ago, hope to receive it next week.
Still at Dutch customs, received a letter last week they were unable to determine the content of the package and the value. Doh... all mentioned perfectly clear on the receipt they included.
So filled out the details and sent the letter back Thursday a week ago. No delivery yet. Called yesterday to hear it could take a whole MONTH for them to process it. Not to happy about Dutch customs.
-
... and another video.
Had a Weihrauch triggerblade in my bits box all this time, finally drilled the hole this evening, took a few pics, wrote down what I did and made this video

AIRRIFLES

Have you checked the BestAirgun website or others?
Importing airrifles yourself from Europe to the US seems to be extremely difficult....
Check my portal please (link in signature) quite a few US stores selling Chinese air rifles...

Waaaah ;D It's been delivered this afternoon!

Mike did a great job, trigger tune, muzzle has been recrowned, two angle cut at the breech with a polish, spring ends polished and internals lubed and deburred, stock polished, am impressed by Mike's service, this a great rifle.
Performs 26.5 fpe av. using 13.43 Umarex domed pellets (950'ish), Superdomes (910'ish) and Crow Magnums (810'ish).
Cocking takes less effort compared to the two Hatsan's I owned for a while earlier this year.
No twang, no smoke, recoil as expected, 11 yard accuracy yet to be tested, probably Monday January 10th (day off from work).

Congrats Bert! Very nice!

Thanks 8)

Bert awesome AG's.....everytime I go to BestAir site I never make it past the cameltoes.
Would love to find a B30 in 22 cal.

Kinda feels like a kid in a candystore ;D
The 30's are hard to find new, the Euro store I bought it is also out of stock ???
You might like the 28 too though. Still have to test the rifle and make a video about it but January is an extremely busy month for me, just got back from a trip to Czechoslovakia and the two weeks to come promise to be very busy...
-
Found a used B-30 22, and working on a local B-30 177.

My backstop is suffering though *grin*
Quote on Youtube
This is a video about my .22 cal Xisico XS-B28 magnum air rifle tuned by Mike Mellick from http://www.bestairgun.com (http://www.bestairgun.com)
Mike recrowned/choked the muzzle, did a two angle cut & polished breech lead-in, polished the spring ends and did a lube tune + a trigger tune and polished the stock. Mike you did a great job !!
This B28 is a Chinese copy of the Diana/RWS 350 magnum.
I've been told that magnum air rifles are hard to shoot accurate, my tuned B28 performs very good, no problems at all.

Sweet....this would be the bomb in a .25 cal.

Bought a rws320 this year and im pleased very light trigger i still have to hook up with lynn(venoman) for some parts i orderd.
-
Before I started collecting Chinese air rifles I traded a .177 cal Gold Cup T1840 I bought in the eighties for another rifle and regretted it when I started collecting Chinese air rifles.
Last night the man who owned the T1840 called me and asked advice which air rifle to buy, he needed more power. Suggested he'd buy my CFX + GRT-4G trigger with the T1840 as a trade in. Delevered it to him today and he was VERY impressed with the CFX and the crisp and predictable GRT-4G and I am very happy to own the T1840 again.
Sad to say goodbye to the CFX so soon but when you can help another airgunner you should, so I did, can't keep them all :'(
After returning home took the T1840 apart, cleaned, relubed, inserted a slip washer into the piston and two very thin slipwashers on the spring guide and used a spring compressor to close.
To do:
take it apart again and replace the spring or flatten/polish the current spring
sand the stock, water stain light oak, apply satin laquer.

Next: sand the stock, water stain light oak and apply satin laquer

Since I'm very happy with the XS-B28 I purchased 2 Xisico XS-B12's from Mike, and a scope and pellets.
The .22 is for a friend, I'll keep the .177.
Only had time to take them out of the box and take a few shots, very busy at the moment, they look great, easy to cock 8)
-
Brutuz,
You're the man! Talk about AG squared away! I'm highly impressed with your level of addiction...HaHa. Truly a great collection. I too am a BAM MM tuned fan and am awaiting the arrival of a B-26-2 MM tuned .22. BMK rifle stocks with the checkering and finish seem to have it all over the US market place BAM stocks. Much nicer indeed! Do you know where someone could find a BMK XS-20/26 stock to fit a BAM B-26?? I know someone who would love to replace thier low comb B-26-2 stock with a nicely checkered BMK sporter stock....
Great job on all your guns and videos!
;) AT
BAM B-26-2 MM tuned .22 (in the mail)
RWS 34 Panther Pro Compact Vortek .177

Thanks AT 8)
Congrats on the .22 MM tuned B-26-2 8)
Sorry haven't located a supplier that sells BMK stocks seperately....

Made this video a week ago, polished the piston's cocking notch today which improved it a lot.
Sweet rifle 8)

The Quest has been sold, bought a Xisico XS46U from Mike @ BestAirgun instead, arrived at Dutch customs, hope it will be delivered next week ;D
-
Received a 79, another project rifle 8)
-
Better picture ;D
-
Received the Rap4 12 gram quick change adaptor today and could finally test the rifle using Superdomes / no modifications:
Average shots 01-10: 609,3 fps 6,84 fpe
Average shots 01-20: 595,4 fps 6,54 fpe
Pitty I'm on 24/7, hopefully tweaking will start next week.
Once tuned will switch to 88 gram.
-
Bought two oldies today, the springer looks nice for it's age, feels like the piston seal has gone, the pumper is rather tatty, barrelband/sight missing.
-
Did the basic tune last night, didn't feel like checking tp mod and probe mod seperately.
Allignment valve/porthole was ok.
De-burred screw-hole inside breech to prevent barrel o-rings from clipping.
Fitted new o-rings on barrel, lubed with silicone grease the o-rings came in.
Enlarged probehole, ellipse shape forward direction.
Fitted new o-ring on probe, lubed with pellgunoil.
Lubed bolt (thin coat nd-oil)
Replaced transferport seal after cutting off a few mm first to prevent it from crushing.
Reassembled rifle.
First shot: tissue over breech, not a whiff of co2 from the top nor sides.
Before tune / 12 gr co2
Average shots 01-10: 609,3 fps 6,84 fpe
Average shots 01-20: 595,4 fps 6,54 fpe
After tune / 12 gr co2
Average shots 01-10: 678.7 fps 8.49 fpe
Average shots 01-20: 659.3 fps 8.02 fpe

Hi Brutus
You have so many air rifles, I was just wondering are you married ? lol,
My wife thought I was obsessed with my air rifles, and thanks to your collection and others
It makes me look good , the Hastan mod 95 is coming Monday the 13th, I am already to mod the piston button for the new j. m seal i ordered .
I am already thinking hard on what I want to get next ..
Thanks to you, and many others for all the input, and interest making this a awesome hobby, I am addicted
best regards Mike
-
Yes I am Mike, she doen't like rifles but hey, it's my hobby and she doesn't mind I collect them as long as they stay in the gun-room and I don't spend too much ;D
Edit: updated sig, 40 at the moment ;D
Edit again: not enough room in my sig to list them all, listed them here instead http://www.brutuz.com/ (http://www.brutuz.com/)
-
Tweaked the spring, replaced the piston seal, only one delrin powerband on the spring guide, shoots very nice now ;D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOlfwp7HG4w#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOlfwp7HG4w#ws)
Also includes stripping and re-assembly so it's a longer video than the most I post on YouTube...
Sure hope it triggers a few people to start tweaking. Lots of downloads on the CharlieDaTuna website to get you started !!!

:D
I had the b 28 tuned from mike M/ that was just before I learned how to tune my self, But after I had it I returned it only because I wanted the RWS 350 .22 I saw on gunbroker.com and I won the bid.
The B 28 was awesome looks, feel, power, no question about it.
I lost money by returning it back to Mike not to mention the 1st time i shipped it back to him I changed my mind and paid to have it return back to me before it arrived at Mikes place lol
so when I finally decided to go with the rws i had to ship the 28 back to mike again.
In the end I saved nothing by wining the bid on the rws, and could of paid full price lol
But in the end I receive the rws as it turned out the previous owner must of had a vorteck kit installed it cocked very easily, like smooth glass, and with open sights i just pointed and shot getting dead bulls eyes it was weird. lol
the Rws 350 is Like a 10 out of 10 when you see it and hold it, shoot it, the B 28 I would say is a 8 out of 10 and so I highly recommend either, Its just the rws is breath taking in every way, still that needs a tune and a taming/
If i could not afford a rws 350 I would not hesitate for the B 28
I seen the rws now for 350.00 on line some where. and even lower!!
Back to the B 28 yes you will love that rifle I almost wish I could of kept them both lol

The target stock and .177 cal QB78 I bought used last weekend have been delivered today.
You might notice most of the custom parts have been removed from the rifles, these are stored since I still have probs after importing an XS60C April 2011, it still hasn't been released from customs yet and haven't heard from the justice dept., payed them a visit for a chat last fall. I live in the Netherlands...
Last pic from top to bottom:
.177 cal XS79 w. SeanQ custom stock (UK) which I still have to finish for personal preference after which it will be stained oak and laquered afterwards.
.177 cal QB78 which arrived today, the barrel will be switched with the 79, standard will be breech fitted, AR2078 breech shown in the pic kept as spare
.22 cal XS78 tuned to about 18 fpe w. bulk fill and... w. target stock which arrived today

You have so much shooter to choose from. On the GTA the question pops up what springer to buy and usually in the Chinese rifle price range. What would be your favorite mid range rifle?

That would be this one

Bought two of these Bam 19s rifles, detuned the one I'm going to keep, replaced the steel spring guide block and steel top hat, finished both spring ends, sharp edges removed, spring ends polished, molied the spring, used a delrin custom shorty spring guide block with one powerband and instead of the steel top hat two delrin slipwashers in the piston:

while watching the vid I noticed that on some shots you had no vapor trail from the barrel....I will bet those are the shots that didn't hit right in the group...when loading keep barrel down and don't lift it above the breech...will keep the velocity more consistant...

Thanks Mike, I'll keep the barrel like you wrote 8)

Update on last events...
Dad didn't make it due to complications, he passed awat May 3rd at the age of 76, very sad
Bought an old Dodge Ram Van (2 seater Chrysler Voyager) last March and we both went for a drive together, he enjoyed every minute of it, we're not used to big automobiles overhere.

(Camping last weekend)
Went to the UK a few weeks ago, the SMK B4 w. custom stock deal didn't work as the supplier had a minor car accident and couldn't attend the HFT event. As it's stricktly face-to-face by law in the UK he'll sell my SMK B4 w. custom stock to a friend of his who'll shoot it at his club and will sell and will send it to me afterwards.
Meanwhile I came across the most beautifull B3 I have ever seen, sold by a Polish company, making the deal proved to be quite a hassle since they only correspond in Polish but with help of translate.google.com I think I closed the deal and payed for the rifle and am now awaiting delivery (rifle without scope)
(http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa390/Brutuz62/zzzzooi/2464103090.jpg)
While finishing that particular deal another Polish company responded to an enquiry, closed that deal too so a .177 and a .22 should be sent to me one of these days aswell... Same rifle, other brand name...
(http://i47.tinypic.com/j8zjit.jpg)
Oh and the Bam B19s I raffled (no money involved) amongst the newbies during the UK Chinese HFT event: the winner was very happy with the rifle and confirmed a week later it performed quite good at his club.

Hope the Woodsman B3-4 will have the grain show in the pic, both Sztuczer B3-4's have been delivered today, the wood is nice but a bit of filler here and there and not as nice as in the pics on their website, beside that packing was poor, factory boxes wrapped in plastic, no extra layer of cardboard, resulted in one of the stocks damaged, asked for a replacement...

I live in the Netherlands, Europe
Here are the video (part 1) and description
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FQMG8-1Z8g#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FQMG8-1Z8g#ws)
Published on Aug 10, 2012 by Brutuz62
Last year I bought a B3-3, an in-expensive Chinese underlever rifle in .177 cal, nice stock, fair finish, tru-glo sights and a nice trigger with a manual safety.
Earlier this year I bought a B2-2, cheap as chips, quality as expected, a bit rough, harsh trigger but fun rifle for the money. I wouldn't recommend that particular version to someone who only wants to own one rifle, but as an extra garden plinker it's cheap and nice.
A few weeks ago Tasm, member of http://ukchineseairgunforum.myfreeforum.org/ (http://ukchineseairgunforum.myfreeforum.org/) pointed me this Polish webshop http://www.tarcza.pl (http://www.tarcza.pl) that sells the all new model .177 cal B3-4 "Woodsman". It has a very nice looking stock with chequering and a new type cocking lever handle which clicks in it's holder just beneath the front sight. Both front and rear sight are of the tru-glo type, where the front sight is semi-hooded which protects the tru-glo bead.
I just had to have it and contacted the store by email, written in English. No reply. After mentioning this to Tasm he explained they only correspond in Polish and I had to use http://translate.google.com (http://translate.google.com) . Another email translated into Polish resulted in a confirmation the rifle was in stock and bankdetails to be used for an international bank transfer in Zlotty's.
During corresponding with tarcza.pl Tasm pointed me to another Polish webshop, http://www.sztucer.pl (http://www.sztucer.pl) who sell the same rifle branded as B3-4 Titan, available in both .177 and .22 cal. since these are in-expensive rifles I decided not to bet on one horse and send them an email in both English and Polish. They responded in English and soon after an email the deal was closed. In fact same afternoon as closing the deal with tarcza.pl
Sztuzer delivered fast, abt one week, Tarca's parcel a week after.
Both companies put some paper/pieces of cardboard in the factory boxes and wrap them in plastic.
That's asking for trouble.
Sztutzer's shipment had one rifle with a severely dented stock. They promised to replace it. Am waiting for a replacement stock to be delivered.
Tarca's rifle had a dent in the stock too, not very bad but it could have been prevented by double boxing the shipment.
I had asked both companies to do so upon ordering.
Lesson learned: buying local is more hassle-free and if a package has to be returned it is in-expensive compared to international return-shipping.
International purchases can be interesting though when a particular rifle's variant cannot be bought local.
Bottom line: I'm very happy with these rifles and the service and communication with both companies. If I'd want to buy from Poland again I'm going to make sure it is a company who corresponds in either English or German.
The .22 version has been tweaked, as shown in the video, since I like that particular rifle most I decided to invest in a custom spring from http://www.woodfield-gcp.co.uk (http://www.woodfield-gcp.co.uk) which should result in an increase of power of abt 1.5 fpe. A second vid will be made incl. footage of shooting the rifle and accuracy.

I suspect this rifle has been made by SPA / Shaoxing Snowpeak Air Gun Factory but cannot confirm. The BAM factory can be excluded, they replied they do not manufacture this B3-4 underlever spring air rifle

Got a #11 Titan spring and delrin top-hat for my B3-4 (no time to install yet) and..

Arrived today, doesn't look too bad, rifled barrel, triggerpull.... massive

No markings on the box, manual or pistol stating "made in China" or "made by"
-
I had bought two of these to fool around with. Trigger pull weight was better on one than on the other. Haven't picked them up for a while. But do remember adding couple of screws to the trigger. I don't think they are one had shooters. Have fun
-
made by the Zhejiang Xinhua factory, barrel recrown is almost always needed for best results, I have one and with some practice am able to get dime size groups at 10 meters
-
Thanks guys 8)
Mike you are wright.
Opened up tight breech, pellets now can be loaded easily, recrowned the barrel, crown looked rough out of the box.
Still hard to shoot a group due to the harsh trigger and it's still new, may improve with use.

Any info like this on the .22 version of the DB4? I just bought the DB4 Custom .22, fired it a good few times with some cheap Bulldogs. Unscoped as of yet but at 10 yards got 6/6 in the bullseye (just under an inch). Can't seem to find any reliable information on just how powerful it is though. Best I've been able to find out is it's 10+ ft/lbs, but this apparently varies all the way up to 12.
Surprisingly accurate and powerful for £70 though, and investment I won't be regretting.

Sorry mine's a .177, out of the box 6.5 fpe and after tweaking and replacing various parts 9.5 fpe

Review of the .22 linked to from the distributors website mine was purchased via says 10+ fpe out of the box. But the fps the site claims would be a lower fpe if claimed with an average .22 pellet weight.

I love my "Chinese" shooter's, some of the toughest made gun's you can get, almost all have an amount of plastic pieces that you could count on one hand, almost all wood and metal, and that's ordnance grade metal at that(since most Chinese a/g's are fabricated in weapons factories). and mod-ability is second to none, I have quite a few, starting with my QB-57 Deluxe, originally bought in .22, but have since purchased a .177 barrel for it as well(from @SS%^$#), It's like getting 2 guns for one, Next are my B4's one in .22, and one in .177, both have had extreme tunes, the .22 shoot's a 14.3gr Crosman downrange at 600fps, and the .177 throws them downrange at close to 900fps(quite a bit more work was done to this gun), my QB-18 is stock for now, I'll work on it over the winter,an XS-B9-1 in .177, It's a great shooter, super accurate, but also super heavy(It's all that steel ;)) and lastly my QB-78 Deluxe, also with a Super-Tune, shoots close to 700fps with lead, I've had and sold a couple more, an XS-B2-2A .22, a .22 KLB3 Fast Deer(I wish I kept that one), and a .22 QB-88 which was a tack-driver, accurate as heck, but in .22 it's almost powerless.I'd like to order myself another XS-B4-2A in .22 just to see if I can make a nice stock for it, and tune it up of course. Some of the New Chinese guns coming on the scene rival the best guns coming out of Europe, They've come along way from the old Cummins B3's you used to get for $25 at the local flea market. I would have to say that out of all of them, my QB-78 Deluxe has to be my all time "Chinese" fave, I can't even remember how many Jack's I've taken with that gun over the last 5 yrs, at least 30-35, On a nice hot day, you can't beat it. I included a few pics of my QB-78D, It's got on a 16-hole ported M/B by Larry(Airgun Artisan's), and an JGBG-M8 3.5-10X40 w/ Integrated Laser(Great Scope), I'll get around to posting more pics of my "Chinese" a/g's soon,,hopefully :), Cheer's, Andy.

German specs, 7.5 joule power, might have a transferport restriction which needs attention and will need longer spring to get shooting a bit faster ;D

Wow looks like you got a shooter.

It arrived this afternoon, very nice rifle
Trigger has a large pull, needs attention
safety is auto
No transferport restriction, tried a smaller 3mm disk behind the piston seal, shot abt 25 fps slower compared to the out-of-the-box string below:

Will change the spring and add a delrin powerband and delrin slipwasher and see what it does.
Not now as I'm using meds because of a back problem.

Am going to do a bit of outdoor target practice this Sunday
-
Have been shooting the Norconia B88 sidelever (QB58) outdoors last Sunday
Proved to be rather accurate, even using open sights @ 10 meters, believe me, the bull is tiny at that distance
Shooting sitting, elbow supported on a table: excellent grouping
Shooting standing, no support the group opened up but not bad at all
The B88's trigger is good too. Out of the box a very long pull which I shortened a bit by slipping a delrin bushing over the trigger pin and setting the adjustment screw to my liking.
Also took a few shots at a spinner target w. my SMK 25 break barrel air pistol (Xisico SXP180)
Hit and miss, most of the shots were hits though. Haven't had much practice w. this pistol yet but it's a nice shooter with a good trigger.
Was a nice and snowy day to shoot, temp around freezing point.
To keep the vid interesting actual loading and aiming have been edited out.

After ordering an XS60C from Mike March 2011 the rifle was confiscated by Dutch customs.
Have been interrogated by Dutch police November 2011 and made my point by showing pics of the Crosman 1077 and Hammerli 850 AirMagnum which are sold in the Netherlands, officer agreed, no case.
Nevertheless the public proscecutor thought she had still a case and I had to appear in court July 2012, the verdict was not guilty (taxpayers money down the drain). The judge did warn me tough not to order from outside of the Netherlands again if the rifle in fact was not available in the Netherlands. His verdict could easily have been guilty, but the public prosecutor presented a screendump from the Chinese manuafacturer assuming it was a firearm. Very easy for me to prove she was wrong.
Irony in this matter is that she most probably got the info from the Chinese airgun portal I have set up myself.
March 1, 2013 received a letter from the police stating I could collect the rifle within three weeks, if not it would be destroyed. Talking about impudence.
Picked it up immediately. Received it unboxed, stock damaged, bolt handle missing which had been stored inside of the co2 tube for transport reasons, they must have taken it out and lost it.
Replaced w. a 78 deluxe goldplated bolthandle, gassed it up and it shoots like a gem, +700 fps in .177 cal w. Superdomes...

Wow Bert, still have yet to see one out of captivity. I like the 10/22 look of it.
