Re: Precision Revolver Questions

Motorcycle Dan,
I agree with you. Double Action is the only way to go for the reasons you stated. I'm going to get some 158grn Zero's. I shoot their 185's in my .45 and have been very happy. I like your 6-shot live/dry drill too. Great Post!

Re: Precision Revolver Questions

Re: Precision Revolver Questions

Great question. With all that pressure, I'll bet its a mute point.
Am I overthinking my revolver for DR and Harry Reeves? I do practice two to four times a week. I'd hate to invest a lot of time in a gun that will not give me 10's when I earn them. Sometimes I over focus on equipment.
Thanks

Re: Precision Revolver Questions

I've considered the Ruger Match Champion for IDPA but went with a no-dash 686, 4" with a bobbed hammer. I agree that the GP 100MC had a great trigger. I was surprised how good it was. For the bullseye/precision pistol work, I like a 6" barrel for the sight radius. One option I've been cons...

Re: Precision Revolver Questions

Thanks for the reply Sa-Tevo, I have a question about the Colt Officers Match that you have. I've heard that the cylinder moves forward to close the cylinder/barrel gap in single action which makes it better in slow fire. Is that true? Also, do you have a tapered barrel or a heavy straight barrel an...

Re: Precision Revolver Questions

Thanks Norm...I hope I do as well at CP in Harry Reeves as you did in 2007.
One quick question: Can you load .357 cases with 158gn LSWC to reduce the jump to the rifling or is it against the rules?
Thanks

Precision Revolver Questions

Hello All, I'm a master BE shooter and I'm working up for this years Harry Reeve and Distinguished Revolver matches at Camp Perry. I need to resolve some questions before committing to my practice program. -Is an out of the box, no lock 686 6" accurate enough? Do they shoot within 3" at 50...

Hammerli 160 Special Barrel Weight System

Hello,
I just purchased a Hammerli 160 Special. It came without a barrel weight system or muzzel break. I was told that they were always accessory items for the 160, however, every photo of a 160 that I've seen had these items with the gun. Were these items standard on the 160?
Thanks

Adding Weight Using Magnets

Hello, I had a paper miss last night with my FWB-AW93. This never happened with my Pardini or Benelli. My sense is that the front of the FWB is light. I would like to add weight to the front of the gun. Although there are stick on lead weights I could use I'd like the idea of using a heavy magnet so...

Building or Modifying Anatomical Grips

Hello,
I've got a FWB-AW93 and have decided to build new grips for it. Modifying a set I already have is also an option. Are there any to-do pdf's or anything that might give me some guidance? I know there are a lot of ideas and methods out there.
Thanks

Good Stuff

Mounting a Match Dot to a S&W41 gives you a totally competitive package. At 263 you were shooting too well for a Ruger. Good Move!

LH FWB-300S Shooter

I concure with the other goofy shooters here. It's an easy transition and shouldn't be a problem.

Also, I may be interested in selling my LH FWB-300S if your interested. I'm going to pick up a sporter air rifle (AA-S200) and when one comes in one has to go out. Let me know.

Feinwerkbau AW93 Dryfiring

Hello,
I just purchased a FWB-AW93. My understanding is that you d/n need a dry fire plug to dry fire this gun. I just need verification. I'd hate to dry fire this thing then find out it's been damaging it.
Thanks

Morini 162 Weight System

Hello,
I'm considering purchase of a Morini 162 EI but would like a weight system similar to an Anshutz LP. I'm sure there is a way to rig something like this? Any ideas?

Older Pardini's

I also have an older Pardini SP. There just great guns! I was shooting a much newer Benelli 90S, it's now my back up to the Old Pardini.

Trigger Shoe for FWB 300S

Hello,
I just purchased a FWB300S and love it! The only issue I have is the trigger shoe will not slide back on the trigger block an d/n have an adjustable angle. Are there any aftermarket adjustable trigger blades for this rifle?

Hello, I've read the equipment specifications for Sporter Air Rifle from the CMP. It seems that the Air Arms S200T would meet the criteria as long as the but plate and cheek rest are not adjusted during completition. Is this accurate?
