Probably so they don't clutter up the firing line and block the view of the TV cameras that broadcast the 10m events to those millions of viewers worldwide! At 10m, one needs very little magnification to be useful. My spotting scope is a simple Tasco Monocular on a monopole. (8x or 10x, can't remem...

I bought a RH Drulov-75 three decades ago. Paid $150 if I recall correctly. It's a simple pistol, and needs to be since it is no longer in production, and there are no parts that I could find, even that many years ago. (I broke the firing pin and had to make another from scratch.) This is a heavy pi...

Albert, I used a tripod at this match so that I could adjust the height up or down, then mark the measurement, prior to making an actual monopole support on a stand with lesser footprint, if I choose to continue to shoot this style, since it is currently not a sanctioned style in the US. It's good t...

After an absence from the 10m game of 25 years, I shot my first “ISSF Supported Rest” pistol match in Dallas TX. Thanks to the local club for allowing me to play with this new option. Starting shooting again last year. My last 4 matches offhand had me shooting an 8.1 average per shot.. The Supported...

People derive differing levels of satisfaction from this game. For some, high score is important, for others high series is important, and still others remember perfect targets, or personal goals achieved, etc. To each his own. When at my prime, I held and NRA Master classification in AP, which requ...

OK, I'll say it. IMO, the grip in question is illegal (beyond the wrist). And I don't care how many stickers it sports, or the status the stickers imply.

I think the picture below is being generous to the shooter, too.

Time to put on the swamp waders... It's about to get deep around here.

Something to consider when buying a SSP that has not been discussed... Posters have talked about the effort (or not) needed to cock the pistol. Often left out of the discussion is the additional need to break one's stance to do so properly. Let's say you are a right-handed shooter. After firing a sh...

Not to mention that the pressure cycles of bulk-filled CO2 cylinders are far less (800psi - 1000psi) than compressed air. I suppose it's too much to expect that this thread, clearly titled "Aluminum CO2 Cylinder" could remain focused on CO2 . At least the continuing debate regarding the PC...

Oh, and about that CO2 burst disk... Among my 5 CO2 cylinders, two of them continue to leak down a few grams from full, then stop. All this time, I thought the silver burst disc with the funny half-round notch was a static (no moving parts), one-time burst disc, like you see on 20lb CO2 (or air) sup...

Update... I have found the urethane 020 for the static cylinder to plug interface will work on MOST Steyr cylinders, but not ALL, resulting in a slow leak. On my two matched, original cylinders, the urethane 020 worked fine on one cylinder, but not the other one. Go figure. So I had to use a metric ...

BTW, the 005 o-rings will fit over the valve stem loosely. Don't be upset to see this, because this is what you want. Remove the old seal and you will see it falls off, too. The Steyr design is simple, and efficient, with the valve stem simply capturing the o-ring between the metal sealing surfaces....

Good to know. Thanks! Did you get the polyurethane O-rings from McMaster Carr? I see that they carry those sizes. Also, did you get the durometer 90 rings, or just 70? 70 may be OK for CO2, but PCP would probably be better off with 90. McMaster Carr carries these for quantity purchase, but I bought...

I just resealed five cylinders for my early Steyr CO2 pistol (CO2 Match, LP-1p, LP-1) with the following SAE (US Spec) polyurethane o-rings... # 020 - Tube to valve assembly seal # 005 - Internal valve stem seal Polyurethane (cream or green color, doesn't matter) is recommended for longevity as they...

Not to mention the original "Steyr bench rest plate" accessory (shown at bottom) for competition in the mysterious "supported pistol" class.

We 65+ shooters can only hope.

The longer this thread goes, the more humorous it becomes.

It's been three decades since I worked on a P10. Does the compression tube simply not pull away from the trigger group? It's not held in place by any screws that I can remember... only by the pressure of it's o-ring. BTW, here is a link to the official manual... http://www.pardini.it/manuali/manual%...

Does this help?

Does anyone know what this part 732-8 does, and is it important? http://i.imgur.com/6SLGT89.png It seems to me the circlip holds the screw in position, this part doesn't actually do much, maybe its for appearance, maybe its an endstop to prevent the rearsight pulling itself apart and chewing throug...

I wouldn't get a hand pump... period. If I lived in land-locked Paraguay (not much need for SCUBA tanks) and lived 200 miles from the nearest town, then I suppose I would pursue my Olympic dreams with a hand pump... and a prayer. Water in compressed air is good for nothing other than rusting parts. ...
