Re: Walther LP200
Walther USA is very helpful with parts, and Buck at Pilkguns is a good man for service. Try calling Buck.

Exesse pictures needed
Anyone have a photo of an Exesse slide stop and spring, I'm working on a gunshot another smith pooched and need to see what the slide stop spring looks like and how it's oriented on the gun. Any help would be appreciated. This is a Walther version.

Re: 10m air pistol
A number of years ago I created progressive position pistol for my kids. It's best way to get to see the the sight alignment in relationship to the target from a rest at first, this will give a new shooter an idea of what to look for, then progress to a standing free hand position. Of course this is...

Re: FAS SP 602 magazine disassembly
That looks like a newer magazine which the base is not made to remove. To do so would mis-shape the magazine. The older magazines with the metal follower had a removable base plate.

Re: Refreshing or resetting eyes between shots
As we age the lenses in our eyes become less flexible and we tend to strain to shift focus. This can cause eye fatigue. Another factor is the eyes contain some if the the smallest capillaries in our body. As we age blood flow can slow down due to weight and blood pressure. Capillaries also get clogg...

Re: .22 Ammo For Free Pistols That Won't Stick in Chamber?
Just a few observations here. Many .22LR bullets are lubed with bees way and lanolin. RWS, Eley, Aguila older Lapua. This prevented oxidizing of the lead. Some use an oil product like SK for example or CCI. This is really to keep the ammo looking fresh. If you ever looked at some older Remington amm...

Re: Pardini SP Broken Slide Retaining Spring
The pin has snapped, common if the gun is bench rested pushing the pin up during firing. Easy fix.

Re: Free pooters
The Aguilla sub sonic works fine and shots are on call. Eley used to make a specific ammo for the FP which was in a blue box.

Re: Help debugging Pardini HP feeding issues
The Ammo choice is important. Try a quality ammo like Fiocchi or Lapua. The bullet should actually be seated below the case mouth and the mouth slightly rolled to provide a smooth surface for feeding. And remember the feed ramp is on the magazine.

Re: Toz 35 broken sear lever.
OK, I have one. This one does not have the post stud on it. I looked and see a few firing pin blocks with and some without the stud. It must have been added for a let model. looks to limit lever movement. But it will work for you. https://i.imgur.com/wA0Lb4J.jpg PM me and we can work out details to ...

Re: Recommended Bullseye Pistol for intermediate pistol shooter?
You might consider the Springfield Range Officer if you are planning on using iron sights. They are very good out of the box with a BoMar style sight.

Re: pardini front sight
Remove the front sight, then the sight assembly. Paint the area under the assembly that is under the set screw. Allow the set screw to mark the area. Now mill or drill a detent for the sight assembly set screw to nest in. This should solve the problem. The set screw is metric not SAE.

Stick with a pistol that has a parts supply, like the Ruger.

Re: Thoughts on the new Walther LP500 models?
Yes it is true that CF was used in the early 90’s but the weight and balance killed the Hammerli not the CF itself. CF has come a long way in 20 years.
