Thanks for the reply. I received a replacement cylinder the other day from Walther's service department, and that works perfectly. I will keep the PTFE tape in my range box though in case I ever need it. It does feel a little bit - how to put it - unsympathetic is probably a good word - to unscrew a...

Lots of interesting reading there, thanks!

Hi, I've been starting to look around for shooting glasses as I'm pretty sure that an iris would help with my ageing eyesight, and I wonder about the fit of these frames, especially as I might well be buying second-hand. Particularly, I notice that Knobloch glasses are available with different lengt...

Thanks for the reply. The ones sold here - at least back then - were configured to fill from the bottle. I suppose the factory might have configured the final assembly according to the export territory. I don't think the disposable 12g CO2 bulbs were widely available here then. It sounds like the di...

Hi, A few years ago I gave my son who lives in the UK my TAU-7 CO2 pistol. It hasn't been used since then, mostly because whilst he was able to take the pistol on his flight, the 0,2 litre CO2 bottle wasn't allowed. I have a trip to the UK coming up fairly soon and I thought I'd take the CO2 bottle ...

My "other half" is into horses - which is a real trump card for me ;)

This afternoon, while checking out various possible temporary solutions to my cylinder air leak problem (http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=47893), I found that whilst trying to introduce another O-ring between the cylinder and the body of the pistol didn't help at all, using plumbers...

Well, I decided to be brave and phone Walther directly. I spoke to a very helpful person there who has promised to send me a replacement cylinder. I didn't realise it before, but my cylinder also leaks when it is on the charging adapter, so the fault is definitely with the sealing of the cylinder. T...

Thanks again for the replies. I have already tried lubricating the O-ring with a smear of silicone grease, but I can't see a way to get the O-ring out, at least not without a sharp pin like hook of some sort, as it is so far down within the (very narrow) cylinder mounting. The grease only added soun...

Thanks very much for the reply. My pistol is actually almost unused, not actually new but as good as. Or at least it should be ;) The cylinder does not leak when unscrewed from the pistol. When it is screwed firmly on to the pistol, there is a noticeable leak - clearly audible, and I can actually fe...

Hi, I recently bought a slightly used Hämmerli AP20. Now that I have had a chance to try it out, I notice that there is a significant air leak from between the body of the pistol and the cylinder when the cylinder is attached to the pistol. This gets better if I unscrew the cylinder a turn or so, to...
