An interesting thread... 1/ started me thinking about the terminology used, and the problems with the meanings attached to the words used - which got me writing out a 'short' explanation on some of the principles being discussed. In its own way a road to ruin, as there is (probably) not a 'short' ex...

YES!

I have read some posts regarding sight colors. Am I correct that you can color your front sight to any desired color? Can you use stripes or dots, like some combat sights?

YES (but why would you?)

Do the open sight have to be rectangular?

NO

I totally agree with James' comment- however, 2.7 gr of VV310 behind 148gr HBW works a charm in my Model 14 - BUT (!) then I load these with a single stage press and 'eyeball' the rack of charged cases before proceding to seat the projectiles. As an aside, I am having real problems with coated proje...

"...This helps decide who to assign the errant shot to. Hope this helps..." Once having decided that there is a crossfire, and the shots for the shooter not at fault are sorted out, normally the process stops. We do not try to allocate blame only on the basis of the the offset on the backi...

Good try - but NO!

If the front sight is fuzzy, either you are having trouble with focal length (corrective lens needs changing), or you are 'looking' at the wrong distance

I have found a 'Match-Box' invaluable - mine is H & N, but I am sure I have seen other brands around. Takes 100 pellets and is easy to fill (pour in some pellets, shake the box to get them in the holes and right way up, empty the excess pellets and close the lid), does not take up much space in ...

Something in the back of my brain tells me that the CISM Center Fire pistol match is not the same as the ISSF one. Can anyone confirm this. CISM linkls on the regulations at http://www.cism-milsport.org/eng/b1_sport/b1_regulations_PDFs/Shooting.pdf seem to be a direct copy of the ISSF 2005/2 printi...

ISSF 4.5mm - a felt patch at the completion of each session, and a wipe over the outside with a good gun oil. Has worked OK for about 20 years. 5.6mm - Hammerli 208, the swiss made disassembly a matter of undoing that screw below the rear sight a chore; wipe the breech face and slide face and wipe o...

Check with the casualty department of the local hospitals to see if anyone else has tried - those in the morgue might not have any comments.

1 No 2 if the tank is cold, 15 seconds should be enough 3 No, but it is a quick way to cool down the cylinder 4a If you use a tank that has a 'draft' tube (i.e. it draws from the bottom of the tank) do not turn the tank upside down. It will draw liquid CO2 fro the bottom of the tank. Commercial CO2 ...
