Is there a date code on Crosman 180’s 400’s?

Dave, now you mention it I recall Tim's frustration at the fall-off in quality after he had set up the supply chain and controls to turn out a superior product.  I bet the manufacturer was happy to be finished with Tim's requirements as they arranged another route for selling QB's into the USA.  I think Compasseco in Kentucky was the first outlet, using the Tech Force branding.  Wonder how many of these have been made over the 25+ years?

Don, No doubt! To bad Tim doesn't get any credit for everything with QB in front of it. Patents do not exist in Communist China...PERIOD! BTW, I don't think you'll ever see a QB 77 or even the more rare QB 22 for sale ...anywhere!  All based on the old Series 2 Crosman 160!   Talk about Collectible!  dave
