Re: IZH-46 m dumb questions

How much does the IZH-46m weigh? In Grams or Oz, either way doesn't matter. Use a good scale. please. I've been impressed with how this pistol works. But every time I pick one up, I'm always impressed with how much it weighs... So I'm curious to see a real number, please. IZH 46 1998 production (ap...

Re: 4.5gr, .177, lead free

My buddy shoots a 46M. I shoot a 46 (no M). I only got about a 30fps difference between the two with my buddy shooting R10s and me shooting RWS Basics. FWIW I get 436fps with a SD of 2.4 and I've never had a shot that I could blame on bad ammo.

Since you obviously have more practice gently stoking bores with small tools, I shall acquiesce to your experience.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61DWori922L._SX425_.jpg A .17 caliber brush is more steel than bronze, looks like a crown ding waiting to happen. YMMV (And then you have to get a compatible rod...) I found RWS Basic as good as most top of the line pellets in my testing, and they are cheap. Th...

Re: IZH 46M

Thank you guys, this makes sense to me now. Cleaning the bore..TSI 301, where can I get it, Pyramid? Do you ??ever?? use a copper brush on the barrel?? Yes, newbie question. No brush, the barrel is soft. Just use a pull-thru with a small patch. I'd just use methyl alcohol (solvent alcohol I use for...

Re: IZH 46M

I have an older IZH 46 and my buddy has a 46m. Both of them will hold inside the 10 fing from a rest. I use RWS basics and my buddy R10s. I've crono'ed both pistols to have standard deviations of 2.5 & 2.8 fps so they are very consistent. In practice 550s come fairly consistently and 560s aren't...
