Re: Online classified site

Online classified site

Hi all. I am interested in getting feedback from the shooting community around a classifieds site I launched in Australia to buy and sell new and used guns. We have a few sites out there in Australia but they cost up to about $25/listing. When you are selling some firearms worth just a few hundred i...

Which JB Weld to use? Modify Lee adjustable charge

Hi. I have noticed quite a lot of people suggest using JB Weld to modify the Lee adjustable powder charge. I just wanted to know what JB Weld would be best suited for the job ? I am planning to experiment filling in one of the auto disks and then drill it out smaller to see if I can get close to wha...

Wow, Insane score - it look's as though it would have been a .45ACP calibre too

Re: Smith & Wesson for ISSF Centrefire match

For a new club level shooter the .38 revolver is the easiest to fully get into Centrefire shooting. The revolver is easy to shoot, reliable and the case catcher works. The .38 is easy to reload and is forgiving to early reloading mistakes. You can buy a revolver, 500 cases, a single stage press and...

Re: Smith & Wesson for ISSF Centrefire match

My auto loaders are .32. My revolver is a 14 in.38. All quite accurate enough! My favorite is the Pardini., but if you are set on a revolver, 32’s are hard to find in my locality. Not set on it, just seemed a cheaper way to get into it. I don’t have reloading gear so I’d start with buying factory r...

Re: Smith & Wesson for ISSF Centrefire match

Thanks. I have been waiting for a reply from Wilson’s. There are two shops not too far from me in QLD that have a Model 19 and a 686 at the other, $590 and $650 respectively (Cleavers and The Barn) Is there a significant advantage to the 14 over the 19? As you said, I’d only be shooting .38 in it. A...

Hi, I am after a revolver for starting out in Centrefire ISSF match. I am curious for any feedback people may have with experience of the following models and this match in particular.

Re: Help for Hammerli 162

Hi. Apologies for revamping a dead thread. I am curious how your friend went with replacing or fixing the solenoid ? I found a Hammerli 162E for sale, sort of cheap and apparently just needs a new solenoid or for it to be rewound. I am not sure if to take the gamble yet and see if an auto electricia...

I can’t find any facts but I see on another thread a user commented that the LP10E grips are the same make as the EVO ones. Curious if that’s correct.

Re: Steyr grip sizing

I feel the Evo grips ARE one size smaller than the lp10 and lp1 grips before them Hmm. Makes it hard without having an opportunity to hold one. I suppose it’s going to be a gamble really. The large I used that felt small was on a 2017 LP2. Do you reckon the grips have changed between a 2012 LP10E a...
