Beeman AR2078-TH 177cal CO2 Single-Shot Pellet Air Rifle withDiopter Sight/Extras

  
BEAUTIFUL BEEMAN AR2078 THUMBHOLE STOCK CO2 PELLET RIFLE. With EXTRAS - in like-new cosmetic and operating condition. Includes original owner's manual, original box, degassing tool, hex wrenches, rear field sight, rear diopter sight, and a data CD with reviews, pics and other useful information for this rifle how's that for service/! This rifle is based on the immensely popular and ubiquitous QB78 platform but the AR models have choked barrels that make them generally more accurate that the regular QB78 variants.

This AR2078 has the long-discontinued beautiful ergonomic ambidextrous thumbhole beech stock, unlike the current AR2078 A/B models with the biathalon-style stock. This rifle has has been used very lightly as it's basically just been "exercised" several times a year to keep it functional. Parts for the QB78 platform are somewhat generic and readily available from different sources, as is information on the web forums for the many QB78-platform lovers. This rifle uses two 12gm CO2 cartridges (but can use one plus a spent cartridge) for shorter shooting sessions and will get between 60-80 good shots depending on the ambient shooting condition temperature like all CO2 airguns.

The trigger is supposedly adjustable but IMHO this 14oz-pull trigger is very smooth to begin with and does not need adjustment (nor have I tried it). It comes with 10m diopter rear sights that are "okay" and a rear field sight as well. However, consider scoping this rifle or using a red dot sight on the 11mm rails. The front sight is a globe sight that accepts inserts (only one is included).

Very smooth bolt action and has a manual safety. It also has a degassing tool which I have never had need to use but I believe you must pull the bolt to the rear, insert the degassing tool, turn the tool in the appropriate direction, and it will engage and release the CO2 within the tube.

The tool will not work with the bolt closed. Like with other QB78-platform models, some people have attached an adapter for the endcap and used a connector to a CO2 tank/bottle for endless shooting. This also has an adjustable butt end-plate (please see pics). This rifle is best with 7.9gr wadcutters for 10m shooting or domed pellets possibly can be used as well with good results if shooting other than 10m. Gun Weight 7lbs 9oz with rear diopter sight.

Overall Length 39.50 inches. Use Plinking & target practice. This rifle is in perfect cosmetic and operating condition and it just needs a new home that will give it more use than I give it. A nice addition to your air rifle collection and fun to shoot indoors or outdoors.

All my airguns listed (unless specified otherwise) are clean and in perfect working condition. It's normally not recommended to store CO2 cartridge pistols/rifles with engaged cylinders for more than a short time as it may cause face seal damage. Always use 2-3 drops of Pellgun Oil (or ATF will work) onto the face seal or tip of the CO2 cartridge to keep the seals fresh as the oil disperses through the CO2 gun - you CANNOT over-oil a CO2 gun! The other QB78 platform models are still in production and has readily available parts and accessories from various vendors so they are relatively easy to maintain and repair if/when needed. If this airgun is not to your liking or interest, you may find one of my other current E-bay airgun listings more suitable. Unfortunately, there are too many scammers getting airguns (especially vintage ones) and removing parts from them then trying to return the airgun... If you can't abide by these simple terms, this listed item is not for you!! My feedback is a 100 percent positive on E-Bay, Airgun Warriors BOI, American Airgun Classifieds, and the former Yellow Forum BOI.

I truly regret that these terms may appear harsh to some but unfortunately my experience with dealings in today's world has necessitated these terms for my own protection. Please review all of the pictures listed and judge for yourself on the overall condition. I will be happy to provide as many other pictures that you request if necessary but also remember that others are also considering purchasing this item so time is often of the essence.

You will receive the exact item(s) listed and what you see is what you will receive. If you have any questions please ask them as I have no problems with total self-disclosure. Please be sure to research the airgun yourself to make sure this is a good fit for you and keep in mind that many vintage airguns or "higher-end" airgun listings may not be the best choice for novice or inexperienced airgunners. With older airguns the seals can fail anytime especially not knowing when seals were changed last, if ever. If I have records that an airgun was resealed at a particular time I will disclose that, though I may not have actual records remaining. For privacy reasons I CANNOT disclose the names or contact information of my personal airgun tuners or airgunsmiths and I only do basic maintenance on my own airguns. I attempt to provide full disclosure, maintain a good reputation in the airgun world, and do not/will not sell junk or malfunctioning airguns unless stated otherwise in detail. Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions or request further pics prior to purchasing!
