After recently putting my 84e away in my safe with the circuit left running (the second time in the past three years or so...dammit), I decided to re-pack an old Varta V74PX cell. It is perhaps not as pretty looking as Morini's adapter, but apart from a couple of bits of electricians tape, it is ess...

Is there any chance you could scan the pages, place them on an image hosting service like Photobucket and post a link to them here? My club has about six Margolins as club guns and another 10 or so are owned by individual members so I'm sure there would be a few folk interested in this information (...

My preference is to use Polyethylene foam (also sometimes called Ethafoam which is Dow's proprietary name for it). It is a closed cell, solid block foam (normally in white but other colours are available). It is easy (and fun!) to cut with a craft knife of box cutter and quite intricate shapes can b...

I wrote something about this a few years ago which is hidden in another thread.

Have a look through this....

I have a 162e (and the 84e which uses the same cell) and battery life is not an issue. Unless there is a fault in the board, the 15v cell should last for a very long time (years in my case). No difference that I can feel in balance between the 162e and the 162ei. I got mine near-new (it had shot few...

Dear All Please tel me is Walther CP99 is allowed in ISSF, No - it is not compliant. It uses hard BB's rather than soft lead pellets. Hard BB's are prohibited under ISSF rules. That aside, as has been mentioned, even if it did take pellets, it would not be a competitive air pistol. It is made for f...

I'm puzzled, that with the 15v. alkaline batteries still available, discussion regarding assembling them using button cells, is still being posted. Perhaps where you are Paul, but not here. The suppliers I have used for the v74px in the past can no longer supply and the battery is virtually obsolet...

Yes - as Zohan noted, you can re-pack these quite easily. Nick the edge of the metal case and peel it off using a pair of pliers. Inside you will find a black plastic tube and inside that there will be ten x 1.5v alkaline button cells in stacked in series plus a conducting top cap with a nipple and ...

A strange one this as I could see them fine.
I have shifted the host for the images from Postimage.org to Photobucket. Hopefully that should solve the problem. Let me know if you still can't see them.

Here's my set-up in my downstairs basement. I'm lucky to have a spare room downstairs with a door which leads into the dirt-part of the basement. The first thought that went through my mind when my wife and I first inspected this house as a possible purchase three years ago was "AIR PISTOL RANG...

Yes it does look like a Morini CM22 variant - which means that Chen has dropped her use of the Dong Feng 5 (which I think was a Chinese made variant of the Margolin). With China having learnt a few things about production over the past two decades (and with a huge number of target shooters in China)...

This is very sad news.
Ruig - if you see this, can you enlighten us what might have happened on the Russian / Demyan side of things?

A gunsmith I once met from Australia said he could tell almost instantly when servicing AP's & AR's which had been filled from tanks and which from high-pressure hand pumps. Air from dive shops and BA filling stations goes through a series of high quality moisture traps to reduce humidity to a b...

Here’s my solution (and what I did…works fine for me) Visit a local charity store which sells used clothing. Find an old loose-fitting (preferably wool) sweater / jersey / pullover. Cut off a sleeve. TA DA! Your pistol muff is complete. If the cuff is too tight to include your hand + grip, cut off t...

Three months ago I wrote to the Minister of Police responsible for this law change, pointing out that PCP rifles used in ISSF shooting were low powered single-shot airguns. I indicated that she should consider copying the German 7.5 joule limit as it had become the default standard for several Europ...

You should get the dealer to remove the VAT at the time of sale. Larger dealers will already do this (Frankonia for example will do this). Smaller dealers sometimes don't fully understand the system and don't fully understand that VAT does not need to be charged for non-EU export orders. Getting the...

Thanks Ruig. Any chance of a higher resolution image? Otherwise, could you post a link to where that (and any other) images may be? I'm not particularly taken by the unrestrained recoil spring. My own experience with the IZH35 which also uses this is that I found it fiddly and awkward to fit the spr...

Before a FP I would much prefer an entry-level, stripped down compact AP suitable for young shooters. I know that Steyr already produce a "compact" line but the cost is still prohibitively high for most youngsters or youth shooting groups (c.$1500 for an LP2 Compact). There is a big gap in...

Hi Anupam - and welcome to the forum. Just wondering that seeing as you are in New Dehli, do you have any information as to the status of the ISSF range for the up-coming Commonwealth Games? I know there was concern last year that progress on the building of facilities was far too slow so I'm intere...

I recall being told by a gunsmith that the problem with dryfiring was not so much the tip of the firing pin hitting the breach face but the strain it put on the length of the pin due to inertia : i.e. the rapidly moving pin suddenly stops as the "shoulder" of the pin meets the shoulder wit...
