QB78-type air rifles are now branded as Beeman. The product is the same, only the name and the box has changed. AR2079A air rifles are still arriving from the US distributor with Industry Brand-branding and this will change to Beeman-branded product on stock rotation.
From the beginning, Archer Airguns sold airgun parts.
With
time, we have expanded our range of airgun kits for different brands
and models. Now Archer Airguns has evolved to become the premier
Internet source for airgun parts. Specifically we concentrate on parts
for current and relatively-recent airguns. You’ll see many parts kits
for new airgun brands and models introduced in future.
This
means that Archer Airguns no longer sells airguns. If you’re looking
for QB78-type air rifles, we recommend that you contact Pyramyd Air.
Here are some useful direct links to the individual models:
Beeman QB78 Deluxe CO2 Air Rifle 0.22
Beeman QB78S CO2 Air Rifle 0.22
Beeman AR2078 CO2 Thumbhole Target Rifle 0.177
Beeman AR2078A CO2 Target Rifle 0.177
If
you are looking for an Archer Airguns QB78 Repeater or QB79 Repeater,
the spiritual successor to these products is the Umarex Gauntlet. This
PCP air rifle can also be powered by CO2 if required and offers the
benefits of the original Archer Repeater with a much increased power
level.
Again, the Umarex Gauntlet can be found at Pyramyd Air:
Umarex Gauntlet PCP Air Rifle, Synthetic Stock 0.177

This is highly desirable "target" variant of the QB79. Additional features include target stock, interchangeable click-adjustable aperture and "open" rear sights and a lighter "2 stage effect" trigger. The hooded front sight is supplied with interchangeable aperture and post elements. This rifle is sold without a CO2 source, but can be used with the Avanti tank, a paintball tank of up to 2-inches diameter, or using Crosman Air Source 88g cartridges with an adapter (available on this site).
The average number of “good” shots with different types of tank are:
2.5-ounce Daisy Avanti tank about 150 (re-fillable)
88g AirSource tank (adapter required) about 220 (single use)
3.5-ounce paintball tank about 240 (re-fillable)
9-ounce paintball tank about 630 (re-fillable)
The pull length of the gun can easily be increased by adding the Archer Airguns AR2078A Buttstock Extension Kit.
PLEASE READ.
The AR2079A works with paintball tanks having a maximum outside diameter
of 2.000 inches. All recent 9-oz and 3.5-oz tanks are normally 2-inches in nominal
diameter, but can actually be larger in actual diameter - particularly
if they are of alloy construction. If the tank is larger than 2.000
inches in outside diameter, it may not fit the gun without the use of the Archer Airguns QB79 Tank Adapter (see QB79 Parts Page).
