Maybe to you it is .... but for us that have the Quest and enjoy modding it and believe me there is more to it then just drop a new piston in it from a 1000.. how about another 100 fps on top of what a stock Quest 1000 does ..

Thanks for your imput. ..

Gunrunner, I have been tossing around buying one of the Quest 500s.
So you rec'd them and had no trouble getting it to perform?
This I am very interested in. A couple years ago I tried the Crosman Mendoza 422. It was a nice little gun but gutless beyond imagination.
All it would do was 350fps. I returned it as Walmart has a great policy.
Our local shop has a Quest and if you can help me along I think I will pick it up.
Still ponder converting to .22 but that can happen later.
Thanks for the post.
Walter....
BTW, you are correct, we were all newbies once :)

It's an old topic. U can mod a Q500 to Q1000 easily by ordering a Q1000 piston from CrosmanCanada. However, it is ur choice to register the gun or not.



I think ( I might be wrong ) the new law stated since jan 2003, you can not registered anymore guns that has not been registered before as a firearm. Such firearm can be used as parts or must be destroyed.
I guess this means that you can not mod a gun and register it, I hope somebody can clearify this, anyone here mod a gun and actually register it ..... ?.......

Its a great gun for the money .. and belive me I'd put mine up against any of the high priced break barrels .. I tried every place to get a B-19 barrel for it .. impossible right now but maybe a B-2 barrel might fit .. in the works of finding that out right now ..
if you want to get in touch with me .. I be more than happy to suggest the things you can do To a Quest 500 to make it 1 sweet magnum rifle ..send me your email..

Need to know how it fit together in the breech where the barrel screw lines up with the breech .. can only do that if you have the 2 guns together to compare. hopefully I hear back from the other party whether it can be done or not .. but thanks .. and if you have both guns .. then you already know the answer so pass it along ..

Picked up that Quest 500. I am impressed with the quality of the metal work, the clean polished piston cylinder. The accuracy is very good at 10m was able to stack pellets when I did my part.
Chronys at 470fps at present. Am looking forward to optimizing this little gun.
Is anyone aware of a European model similar to this? I'm wondering if a different spring would do something for it? Like a JM spring?
Take care,
Walter....
BTW anyone have a pic of a B2?

CT sells Quest with scope for $200 though, so they are not exactly the same thing. However, it is still way too expensive.

Well let's buy from the US.....
$110us * 1.25 exchange + 10%duty + brokerage and postal
That will get you to near $200can.
Canadian tire...... walk in and out done.
I bought mine at our small town local gunshop... $149.97
Glad I got it, actually really glad to have picked up this little rifle.
Gotta shoot it some more in the daylight.
Cheers,
Walter....
BTW thanks Gunrunner!!!!!!!

D&L is selling it for 125 but no scope.

CT comes with the scope also hassle free return or replacement.

Warranty This product carries a 1-year replacement warranty against manufacturing defects in workmanship and materials. Proof of purchase required. Crosman 1-800-724-7486.

At 495fps and less, alot of scopes can hold up the recoil without any problem but once it's modded ...... the lense probably would shattered....lol...

I was just wondering if anyone measured the transfer port size on a quest 500x and a quest 1000x , I wonder if that is an area of restriction.

My understanding of springers they need a restrictive port to make power, control piston so it won't slam into the end of the compression chamber, not the place to change IMHO.
The port on my Quest 500 is 0.125" diameter. 1000 should be the same
