Crosman Quest 1000's arrived...........

[mikeiniowa]

I thought I had ordered just the rifles, kind of a surprise when I opened the first box and there was a scope included.....couldn't control myself and tore the first one down and worked it over, the quality has gone up some since I worked on the old B-19. Must have gotten something right doing the work, ran it over the chrony and it shot 909, for all ten shots,,,,mounted the scope and zeroed it in, 1/2 inch groups at 20 yards with the factory trigger, can't wait until Bob's triggers get here then we'll see what it can really do. Almost like these as much as the B-26, just a bit more kick in the firing cycle.....well might as well go break in the trigger so it's ready for the insert when it gets here..........

Keep us in the loop on the Quest tuning Mike. I'm having a Tivar guide spun for one of my many Crosman guns ok well 5 or 6 I guess that would not be many.lol. CDT's trigger is going to knock your socks off you groups are going to be under a dime.

Hey if you decide to get some .22 800s to tune I may be a buyer..I shot an untuned 1000 once and I gotta say I did like it. It can only get better after a tune up. What are you selling the 1000s for? 800s?

[vinceb]

...velocity-wise, with CPL's. What sort of pellets were you using?

[mikeiniowa]

Used Gamo Hunters for the velocity test, did get 940 for the Silver Bears, used Gamo Pro Magnums for the accuracy test, once the seal wears in a bit I'll recheck and see where it's at, shot about 50 shots tonight, at 40 yards a pop can doesn't stand a chance.........

[mikeiniowa]

The 1000's will be $130.00 shipped tuned and with the GRT-lll trigger installed, I'll have to see if I can get any of the 800's at a good price,

[WesCombs]

That's an UNBEATABLE price. Keep me informed! I just may have to get one of each.

[mikeiniowa]

I have one of Bob's triggers in my old B-19, and have installed them in a bunch of other rifles for customers. they do improve the trigger thats for sure.......

[mikeiniowa]

I wish I could get the price alittle lower but with the cost of the trigger and shipping I'm doing the tune for about $5........

[vinceb]

You could probably go up to $131!

BTW - does that include the scope?

[mikeiniowa]

yup scope comes with, I hope Bob's triggers get here, have three of them worked over, all pushing 880 to 900 so far, boy the factory triggers are not all the same, one is hard to pull, one is rough and the last one is so light it's scary, get the GRT's in them and then get the triggers set up, should be good to go.........

[vinceb]

...is one of the worst aspect of the gun's manufacturing. I have a Phantom (same thing) with a trigger pull that is very reasonable - so much so that I'm not in the least bit tempted to do anything. Others have been terrible. If you ever take a Quest trigger apart you'll notice that they, uh, don't exactly pay a lot of attention to the sear and trip lever stampings...

In any event the $130 for a Quest Combo with the trigger and a once-over by you is more than reasonable.

[BumbleShot]

I have a Q1k I lube tuned myself.  

One thing you should check, is that on mine, the safety lever never engages and blocks the trigger.  I fixed it by milling down the dents on it with a Dremmel.  I had to take a lot of material off of there to get it to work and still have the spring secure.  So be sure to check them all that the safety actually engages!

All the best!

[mikeiniowa]

so far so good for the safeties, will have to recheck after installing the new triggers....thanks.
