We shoot monthly matches from March through November, weather permitting. I clean mine about twice a season. I remove the grips and remove the barrel assembly from the frame. I scrub the frame feed ramp, barrel feed ramp, and extractor with a nylon brush. I also run a .22 caliber brush through the b...

I had the same problem with a Giles 1911 that I wanted to use for service pistol competition. I was reluctant to modify the original "wagon wheel" rear sight blade so I advertised for a want to buy and found one at a very reasonable price. I removed the original sight blade, installed the ...

Looking for a Hammerli 208s combi tool as shown below. Also interested in the rest of the 208s tool kit which includes several metric allen wrenches and a couple of screwdrivers.

Best Fittings in England sells one, but it costs an arm and leg: https://www.bestfittings.co.uk/shop/airgun-charging-equipment/cylinder-accessories/7000-pressure-regulator-kit-for-nitrogen-high-pressure-air/ The "full kit" is 350 Pounds. You CAN safely fill a 200 bar cylinder from a 300 b...

If one has a 300 BAR cylinder, shouldn't a regulator be used to ensure against overfilling? If so, where would one buy such a device?

I use it to clean airgun pellets before lubing them.

Clean pellets? Lube them? Please school me on this. I've never heard of anyone doing this. Why and how, please.

Here in Prescott, AZ, I get my 80 cu ft tank filled at a place that specializes in paint ball gear at a cost of about $10.

Not sure why a computer crash and/or new hardware would impact your account here. User names and passwords are tracked by this site, not solely on your hardware. Can you explain?

Once again, thanks for the advice. It looks like I have a fair amount of work ahead of me. I have 1K of new Starline brass that I plan to segregate by length. I've never had brass that comes close to SAMMI max length, but I believe that consistent lengths will contribute to consistent crimps. I may ...

Thank you for the great suggestions! Regarding bullets, I have the following: Nosler 185gr JHP Zero 185gr SWCHP (swaged lead) Zero 185gr SWC (swaged button nose) Brazos 180gr coated flat base SWC Various hard cast H&G68 shape both 185gr and 200gr I also have the following powders: Bullseye W231 ...

Hello all, I have been shooting BE for a long time, but as a duffer looking to have fun as opposed to winning the National Championship. Having said that, I hope to acquire a new Rock River Arms wad gun with their 1.5" guarantee later this year. I cannot afford to buy the commercial ammo with w...

Thanks for the information. I'll check it out.

I have a recently acquired used Steyr LP50 that came with the standard ergonomic grip as well as the accessory 1911 grip. I have installed the 1911 grip, the Steyr short picatinny rail adapter, and a small red dot sight. Of course, it no longer fits into the factory case. I would like to purchase th...

For those who do not read Italian, here's an interweb-generated translation: I tried several times to contact Benelli USA for the maintenance of the Kite air gun. They never respond. They apparently have no interest in repairing Benelli airpistol products in the United States. This is a shame becaus...

Unless you are an "international class" shooter the pellet you choose won't make a discernible difference in your scores. Train and shoot matches with the same inexpensive pellets and concentrate on your technique.

Based on my research, "practice" is different from "training". Training involves very specific goals and methods to achieve them. Practice implies shooting a match or portion thereof without specific goals in mind.

There is an identical disclaimer on CMP's website. Apparently Newsom and his cronies actually DO think that they can rule the world.

So some time ago there was a similar post in which the poster had 3D printed a front sight with a tiny (1mm?) tunnel near the top of the sight post. The OP asked if this was legal per ISSF rules, but no concrete answer was forthcoming. So I'll ask again. A hole, or tunnel, in the front sight is not,...

Not good but try this. While primarily a pistol shooter I also shoot trap on Sundays after church with the same group of guys. It's probably more a social event than it is a shooting event. I reload for everything I shoot and have, upon occasion, dumped a partial bottle of either #8 shot or some kin...

It's a joke. You don't have to run faster than the bear, just faster than your friend.
