i feel like this old thing is looking less and less silly, as more bullpup shapes in the pcp world come out

Now of they can only employ the RWS 54/56 and FWB300s sliding rail anti recoil howitzer mechanism look out PCP accuracy territory here...

I recently had a video for the AA Prosport show up on my YouTube which led me down a rabbit hole.
With such a beloved springer having a sub 10" barrel it got me thinking about what the bullpup possibilities were. Interested to hear more discussion.
Technical question about the bullpup in the Airgun Depot link above.
With the breech above the trigger can that really be considered a bullpup? To me that makes it more like a Leshiy or Airforce airgun with the similarity of having your cheek above the power source.

The QB 89 has a flip-out breech about as far back as you can get it. More of a true bullpup than the QB 57 in my mind.

I’ll play too.
That looks really nice. Is that a custom job?
Edit: Oops my bad. That's the QB57.

Only BP springer I remember as nice was a 48 Derrick Wall made long ago.
That 54 is definitely interesting.

I have one to:
How is the quality on that QB57? Is it well made? Is it accurate?
Is the scope mount directly attached to the wood?

Norica made one, called the Goliath 8. Always wanted to pick one up in .22. Aside from that I don’t know much about them.

I have just got it and have not used it as much, it's not weirauch quality, the "screw" you tighten the barrel with comes loose so i need to tighten it after some shots, the open sights are pretty useless, i am thinking of drilling a hole in the rear sight to make it a peepsight, the scope attach to a rail as on any airgun (11mm?) It is pretty accurate and prefers the H /N FTT 8,64gr pellet, but i need to fix the scope cause it start to wander around after some time, overall it is a fun gun and I like different looking airguns that steps away from the mainstream

I bought 2 of them years ago and tore them down to polish and lube. Construction is typical China and of course too much goo and gunk in them. My niece is the one who wanted one for her birthday so she shot hers way more than I shoot mine. I would say once you find the right pellet, it’s an average springer. If you think the racket that goes on by your ear with a PCP bullpup is bad, one of these things will frighten you. Of course kids don’t care. They just shoot.

years back I spent a lot,,, nono TOO MUCH time surfing guns.ru and grabbing pics of the stuff those guys are builidng
the Russians are lightyears ahead of US shooters in this regard....
