my redone qb78

i reshaped the stock, stained it with a red oak stain, put a couple coats of clear coat on it (more to come), put on a different butt pad, bipod, nicer illuminated scope, polished the two endcaps at the rear of the ag, polished the trigger, reworked the trigger sear engagement area giving me a butter smooth trigger.

mods to come, new valve (someone ruined mine :oops:), ext tube, bulking, laser, custom muzzle brake

here is a writeup on the trigger mod i made

ok so here is my trigger mod for the qb78 which could be used for other air guns with relativity wider sears (read not 22xx).

first the trigger as it sits in its housing

next you open up the trigger housing and polish all the contact points on the round sear (the one that engages the hammer).  bring it up to a mirror shine, my dremel made quick work of this working right up to the little blue polishing stone and then the felt one and some metal polish.

after your done that you take the other trigger out and angle the contact point that engages the sear to a knife edge, polish it to a mirror shine and your done. what this does is gives a lower amount of surface friction.  add to that some molly lube on all contact points (including the pins that hold the parts in place)  and you will have a trigger that is as smooth if not smoother then butter

your pics don't work.

Cut and paste them without the Img on either end.  Looks good. I got lucky I bought a tuned one from a guy and he had put the thumbhole stock on it. I just haven't taken the time to refinish it. I like the trigger set up as well. Good job keep it up.

I couldn't get them to work either
