Big Bore Airgun addiction

I have an admission. I am addicted to Big Bore Airguns. My addiction runs the gamut from a .257 AirForce Texan to a .58 Quackenbush LA Outlaw Short Rifle.

What is it about Big Bore Airguns that have me strung out? Well, I think it’s the challenge of shooting these rifles, and achieving accuracy. The largest of my rifles have substantial recoil, and noise, and prove to be a handful when target shooting and hunting.

The Pacific Airgun Expo brings together all segments of the airgunning and airsoft community including; vendors, dealers, importers, manufacturers, customizers, repair, collectors, accessory dealers, as well as new and experienced airgunners.

Here you will find assistance with repair, appraisal, accessories, or airgun purchases. Learn about airgun shooting and competition. We encourage people to bring in grandpa’s old pellet gun, get it fixed, see what it is worth, sell it, or trade it in on a new model. The Pacific Airgun Expo has two days of buying, selling, trading, shooting, learning about or displaying airguns.

The Pacific Airgun Expo strives to educate the shooting sports public about the airgun hobby and industry. By exposing people to airgunning,Pacific Airgun Event hopes to bring more people into the sport which will allow the vendors and manufacturers to grow their market and be able to continue to make the cool stuff we all enjoy. Without the vendors and manufacturers our sport by necessity remains small, so it is our biggest goal to bring new people into the sport thereby supporting the people that make and sell the stuff we need.

Airgun and Air Rifle

Industry Brand who’s parent company Shanghai Air Gun Factory, is a company in China that is the manufacturer of the Crosman 160 Air Rifle Clone, the QB78.

I have ordered a .177 cal version of the QB78 from Mike Melick from Flying Dragon Air Rifles, based on his reputation of offering the best tune up of this rifle without extra charge. The Basic Tuneup involves taking apart the air rifle and lubing, and smoothing out imperfections, etc so that is essentially blue printed.

Shanghai Air Gun factory was established in 1957 and it is the oldest air gun manufacturer in China. With more than 50 years of growth, Shanghai Air Gun factory has developed into one of the biggest and most professional air gun enterprise in China.
