Re: Who has Rink grips on their Toz35M?

got a question about the toz35 Rink grips: when you buy a new set, do they come with all the screws? or do you have to use the original screws the toz came with? I haven't received mine yet, but the screws are standard 3mm screws that can be purchased at your local hardware store. Just pick a lengt...

Re: Looking to get back into competitive pistol

Glad I am not the only one that realizes that Hammerli is now only a name to stamp on commodity guns. Sad. I think I probably still have a Hämmerli brochure from the late 80s in a box somewhere. They were my aspirational gun for a long time. [/quote] Mine too ! I still have a 150 with a lifetime of...

Re: Looking to get back into competitive pistol

Greetings, "Liquidating". I am not surprised. Walther sold the Haemmerli name to Umarex. Umarex only lists the X-esse and AP20. The SP-20 appears to be gone. I did contact Umarex for 280 parts and they said no longer available. Not sure if they will accept an older gun for repair. Walther...

Re: Looking to get back into competitive pistol

[/quote] That said, with the passing of Larry Carter, I don't know who is doing the US repair work on Hammerlis. We have over twenty 480K's that were converted to use AP40 cylinders by Larry, and several have developed leaks. I suspect it is an easy fix if you have the right tools & know-how, bu...

Re: Looking to get back into competitive pistol

I don't see any 5M targets for purchase, but many in download form. While it may not be legal for internet matches, is can sure get you practicing until you get to a 10M range. Hammerli used to be a great product, now its just a name imo. I have not owned an AP20, but had a Hammerli 480. My guess is...

Re: Looking to get back into competitive pistol

I have to think there are many opportunities for air pistol matches in your area, with its population density. There is also the monthly online match on this forum. Setting up a 10M range in your home is easy, and practicing on 5M reduced targets still builds your skills, if that is all you have. Ge...

Re: Hammerli firing pins

Third one from the right is for a 150, and is the short throw version. 4th is the long throw version.
They might also fit a 152 or 160?
Two on the left look unfamiliar to me, maybe 10X models.

Re: Cylinder/inlet valve O-ring replacement interval

I replace mine when they fail.
If you measure the one you have, you can buy a bag of 100 from McMaster Carr for $3.50.
Get the "high durometer" version and a little dab of Super Lube from Ace hardware.

Re: Erratic behavior Steyr LP2 (again!)

In your prior post on this subject last year David M posted a whole setup routine for this trigger. What he posted is exactly how I set mine up to my liking. If both of us came up with the same methodology independently, I will assume that it is sound logic, and my trigger has been perfect for the l...

Who has Rink grips on their Toz35M?

Thinking about buying some, but have a question. Looking on the Rink website, I can only see one screw per side. I would think they would be more secure with all the screws in place.
Is that how they fit them, or are there two screws per side that I can't see.
Thanks.

Re: Mechanical v.s. Electrical trigger in Air Pistol

I have a Steyr LP10 M. The trigger breaks without the front sight moving. I have two mechanical free pistols, same thing. My 8s are all on me. If my Toz had a E trigger, it would surely be a paperweight now. Setting up a trigger with zero over travel, or conversely, lots of over travel, if your retu...

I am also guessing you spring is shot. I have been lubing my 150 with various moly or PTFE greases for years with satisfactory results, including the trigger sears. I also make sure to get plenty on the cocking ear that is engaged by the cocking lever. There have been two different firing pins and s...

They will all outshoot the owner. I saw that Pilk was getting in a Pardini K50. If the price is right on that, it will sure work. The 160 for $1,500 is a nice pistol and I think many parts are still available. I have never owned an older Hammerli 100 series, but have heard that they are complicated ...

With such a small sample, plus the error of your chrony I doubt you are actually seeing any statistically significant difference.

You might try changing your velocity up and down a tad from your current setting and see if that helps your grouping any. From what I can see with mine it is consistent enough to be highly competitive as is. I doubt any of my .22 rifles or free pistols with match ammo will shoot as consistent a velo...

LP10 Accuracy, Full Vs 60 Bar

In an earlier thread there was a post that the LP10 accuracy drops off when the cylinder goes below half full. While I don't have a vise in the house, I did dig out my chronograph out of curiosity. Shooting 10 shots of R10 at 60 bar gets me 520.4 average with a ES of 7.9. When filled to 190-195 bar ...

Did you test those with a chronograph as well? If it is shooting XXX feet per second with a full tank and the same velocity with a half full tank, then the accuracy should not change given the same projectile pushed along at the same speed. If the velocity drops between full and half full, something...
