My testing of the .22 QB's gives about 30 to 40 more fps with the probe, could be alittle more with the .20.

First, have got a drill press? you can use a hand drill but it's nerve  wracking. Look around the hood until you find one of those little flags that the lawn spraying companys use to warn you to stay off the lawn, sneak back late at night and get it. Or you can by one at the local farm supply store. If I remenber right they are just a bit over 1/16 inch in diameter so a 5/64th inch bit will work. Center the bit in the open end of the probe and drill in about 3/16. Cut the probe off just behind the hole and smooth the out side with sand paper. Stick the wire in the hole until it bottoms out and then measure from the shoulder of the bolt out 1 and 3/8 inch, mark and cut off, pull the wire out and mix a 2 part epoxey glue up and glue it in place. After you reassemble the receiver, bolt and barrel tweek it probe up/down side to side until it pushes a pellet smoothly into the barrel. Good to go.

OK, I haven't had the chance to do a chrony on the gun after the probe. To many honey do's going on :)
I will try to do some testing and give the results tomorrow. The gun shoots flatter than before, so I might have gained some FPS. We will see..

Got some number for you.
1   670.40
2   682.70
3   694.00
4   700.00
5   682.60
6   682.50
7   706.90
8   717.60
9   707.80
10 738.10

min         670.40
Max       738.10
Average 698.26
Median   697.00
Spread   67.70
SD          20.17
FPE        15.49


The gun did a lot of fluxing between shots. After I ran these numbers my Co 2 tank was running low. SO I guess that's why.

any way  The mod's are.

Bolt probed
Valve modified


This thing is loud :) , I have to find someway to quiet this thing down. I think a shroud is in order for this gun. I will probably get one from Larry R

Hi Mike, Do you reckon tha the probe gives that much extra over the standard bolt or a re-drilled and relieved bolt?

Wallis, I dont know if your local laws allow but the Webley Pro System sliencer helped enormously with my noisy QB but I do have to shim the orifice where the barell enters it to keep it on the straight and narrow :) BTW that "emergency seal" is still lasting!

Unfortunately the laws here will not allow silencers on the gun. Glad the emergency seal still working out for you. I have to look into that.

Just got to thinking, how large is your port in the barrel, drilled to about .165 should help,
