I apologize for misstating your faceplate prices in the original post almost two years ago.

Maybe this is old news, but I discovered the Sharpie Mean Streak Yellow marker is a color match for the yellow paddle paint on the Gamo-style field targets. These markers are used to permanently mark metals. They use a paint that works well on dirty surfaces. I've been using the marker to...

$3141.59 thank you!

Here's a view of the TAC Vector bolt knob installed on my QB Chief II Plus; Makes cocking the bolt so much less fatiguing with something bigger to grip.

I improved the cocking effort by adding a TAC Vector silicone bolt knob from Amazon; https://www.amazon.com/TAC-Vector-Optics-Silicon-Shooting/dp/B00NJJQFM6/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=rubber+gun+bolt+knob&qid=1621868688&sr=8-3 The Beeman bolt handle is too small to fit snugly on the silicone...

After 500 break-in shots, I decreased the hammer adjuster 1 turn (CCW) and ran a string through my Caldwell Precision Chrony. I started the fill at 2600 psi and ran it down to 1000 psi shooting .177 JSB Diablo Exact 8.44 gr pellets. Average pressure drop per shot was 28.6 psi. With this...

What 'other' forum have you documented your experience with the QB Chief II Plus-S? So far, have you had any leak issues? This model must have more hammer adjustment screw range than the standard QB Chief II for you to make the 4-5 full turn decrease from the factory settings. Glad to know...

Loudness Doesn't Have to be Subjective: I used a simple sound pressure level (SPL) meter with a response weighted to approximate human hearing (A-weighted). My basement has acoustic ceiling tile and I built a frame covered with quilted moving blankets to form a tunnel. I use a similar...

Trigger Comments: After 250 break-in shots, I decided to disassemble the gun and adjust the trigger pull force. There are several online videos showing how to perform the disassembly for the Beeman QB78 rifles. The Chief follows the same steps; 1) remove the safety with a punch, 2) remove the...

Review of new Beeman QB Chief II in synthetic stock with 3,000 PSI fill pressure: First Impression: As usual, Pyramyd Air did a fine job of shipping product to me quickly. I ordered the 10-for-$10 service with the gun last Monday and received the package on Saturday. The test certificate...

Thanks Trucker3573 for the reply. I hope you'll share more info once you have some experience with the synthetic stock QB Chief II. I took Odoyle's challenge and just ordered the gun from PyramydAir. I hope to put the gun through some rigorous tests (muzzle velocity, sound level, shot count...

I bought the Nova Liberty two years ago from ATI because it was affordable with decent features. Too bad they never really got traction and stayed mostly an excellent gun with small dedicated following. Now, ATI doesn't show them for sale on their website and the Avengers have all the buzz. I...

Odoyle, where are the bad reviews you reference? I can't find anything written about the 3000PSI QB Chief II. Yes, I've read many comments about QB Chief II leaks. I've read misinformation about the trigger being terrible. It's a QB78 trigger and those are fantastic if you know how to adjust...

Browsing the highly flawed Beeman.com website, I discovered a new version of the QB Chief II that rides in a synthetic stock and claims a 3k PSI tank. Does anyone own or can provide details about this gun? I hesitate to buy one of these until I have confidence the stock isn't some cheap hollow...

I've researched the process of making patterns ready for CNC plasma cutting. The key is to create a vector line drawing file in the DXF format. Here's how I've done it; 1) Use Microsoft Visio (part of the MS Office bundle) to create a black 1:1 silhouette pattern with the correct dimension...
