Re: Material for an FAS 607 Pistol?

Thanks for the pics Leon, confirms that, indeed, my 607 has a complete buffer and was already good to go. Tried a few different brands of ammunition, CCI std vel doesn't even fit in the mag, just too long, settled on S&B sv as its 1mm shorter than CCI. First time shooting, I am really impressed...

Re: Expired/Defective Cylinder Disposal (US)

Should the aluminium compressed air cylinder is used beyond the manufacturer-specific service life of 10 years, it is on the shooter’s own responsibility – there is a risk of injury!" The above is the only thing that many will focus on. For those, yes under your own responsibility use your exp...

Re: Material for an FAS 607 Pistol?

Just picked up what I think is a "new" 607, has none of the normal signs of use but doesn't appear to have a buffer pad, not sure if this is missing or a different design,not sure of the age, ser # 142** . Not planning on shooting until I sort this. Love how this is so modular, just hope ...

OMG, a change that was made YEARS ago and people are still bitching...

Re: How are you filling your cylinders?

My problem is that many cylinder manufacturers certified them for 20 years before the bureaucrats came along and magically made them unsafe after 10. Your problem is a lack of understanding of certification processes and an over-riding disdain for "the bureaucrats". Manufacturers of cylin...

Re: Shooting removed from 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

So, what 'refurbishments' are they referring to? - or am I missing something? Well, that's what the stink needs to be raised for. Need to hold the Commonwealth Games organisers to the fire with budget comparisons between their reasoning, reality, and what could conceivably be done as an alternative...

Re: Shooting removed from 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

My Opinion: Find a Commonwealth country that has existing permanent infrastructure and hold a shooting event simultaneously with the Commonwealth games under the auspices of the Commonwealth Shooting Federation. Shooting sports should be run and contested on their own right at all times to match maj...

Re: Where do you practice? / Let's see your at home range.

Unfortunately not - there's so many possible combination with different eye piece diametres and different cameras you will need to design a custom adapter. My scope came with a T-mount adapter. The rubber bit on the eyepiece of the scope (Celestron Regal) unscrews, and the adapter ring screws on. T...

Re: FAS 6007 - finally in my hands...

Hmm that's weird. My 607 ( and 602 ) have no problems digesting CCI Standard or Federal Champion ammunition. Nor does my 6007. When you say it jams your 607, what actually happens? They don't even always load into the magazine easily. Moving he follower the cartridges obviously bind and the movemen...

Re: FAS 6007 - finally in my hands...

I think the new mags are made to tighter tolerances than the old ones as .22 rounds fit quite tightly. Slightly longer American .22 ammunition means that the 5th round needs a little bit of jiggery and pokey to fit. CCI standard 40gr LRN and other American 22lr jams my 607 all the time. Too cheap t...

Re: Where do you practice? / Let's see your at home range.

Just ordered a T-mount to M12 adapter for my scope.
Seemingly many USB webcams have M12 lenses. And my Celestron scope came with the T-mount ring.

So now I'm looking for a M12 lens camera...

I'm really going to have to buy one to help you out.

Well done.

Could use the olympic shooting sports symbols too. Don't know about copyright issues though.

Re: Tanfoglio Gold Match?

My vote...Pardini GT 45! Love the thing. Great trigger...great accuracy. Double stack makes a handfull... but my 3 1911’s see little service. My two cents 🤓 Yes, the Pardini has been on my wishlist. But it's $1k more than the Tanfoglio. The adjustable trigger seems like a very nice thing to have. B...

Re: Shot in the ass?

Jesus Christ. As much as the man may have led to his own demise, why try to turn a death into a laughing matter?
Nothing went off because of the Taser. He pulled his gun as the officer teased him and shot at the police. He was then shot multiple times by the police officers.
