Success! Got the probe o-ring changed. Not rocket science, just pretty fiddley. The ball and spring stayed in place, held by grease, but I need a new spring as the old one was in three pieces. I can now see how the Hammer comes out, when I get the correct pin.
Thanks again!

Thanks for that explanation ghilt. If I understand correctly, there will be no need to remove the "hammer" No312. I have a small problem here, because the drawing says pin 313 is a "kerbstift" which translates to grooved or slotted taper pin. My gun has had a bit of Southern Engi...

The best source of Walther info and bits in the UK is Bill Welch, he trades as "Bill's Walther Spares and Repairs" phone (44) 1243 552204, e mail mogwap@dsl.pipex.com Apparently sometimes the factory obtains parts from him for older guns! If you know for sure what materials you need for th...

A VAT registered business in Europe should not charge VAT on an order from outside the EU. In the UK however, very small businesses/cottage industries are not required to register for VAT, but equally cannot reclaim the VAT they pay on supplies. A purchase from a non-VAT registered business will the...

Thanks ghilt. PM sent.

I've just obtained an old, but good, Walther CP2 Match. A set of o-rings is on it's way to me.

Can anyone point me towards some strip-down instructions please, as the exploded drawing on the Walther site is not very self explanatory.

I doubt the job is rocket science, but fore warned is fore armed.

$525 including shipping is maybe not too bad for the PCP version, though personally I have no problems with CO2. In UK we can buy 12g cartridges in bulk at sensible prices ie. £0.3 Sterling. Unless it is regulated, which I would doubt, 525 is enough though. My purchase included 19% sales tax. Your D...

This is being marketed as Air Arms, but is in fact made in the Czech Republic by Alfa Proj. (The AA s200 rifle is in fact the CZ 200, also made in the Czech Republic) I have the CO2 version and would say that it is a decent club level pistol and would probaly outshoot most owners of "world clas...

Thanks David.
Was the gun by any chance CO2 powered, or had they gone over to CA by then?
My recollection is that the record was still held by a CO2 gun and that this has been mentioned a few times in discussions over the relative merits of CO2/CA.

I am sure that I read somewhere (possibly on this forum or Pilkguns site) that the 10m Air Pistol world record is still held from a good number of years ago, by a CO2 powered pistol, .
If so, could someone please post details.
If wrong, please post the right answer!

Sorry if I put the cat amongst the pigeons! Just repeating an idea I saw on her for economising on targets.

I can understand the logic of reinforcing the good shots though.

There was a good tip on here a few months ago. Take a standard target and depending on what your normal hold is, cut out the corresponding ring. Only the shots outside your regular hold will show; those inside the hole are OK. As your hold improves, cut out a higher ring. One card can last for 30 or...

Thanks Jack! Yes it's an old thread, but it's never too late to receive good information. I have actually settled (for better or worse) on the raise above, drop slightly below and re-raise to aim as being the most comfortable to me. I haven't thought consciously about which muscles I'm using, so I w...

"but surely there are many of us less advanced who could find immediate benefit from such information in such a format. "

I'll second that!!

I don't feel qualified or experienced enough to discuss variations of stance in detail, but can only mention what appears to work for me, in case others wish to try as well. If however, anyone wishes to read the full article I mentioned (by Tom Readhead, the UK National Pistol Coach) I do have a pho...

Hi Guys Just back home after 5 weeks vacation, so apologies for no replies. Fred: I started with an approx 45% stance, then read an article on the coaching for the UK Olympic team, suggesting that the 90% stance could be a better bet. I tried it and it seems to work for me. Bill: As above. I don't t...

A point I should clarify (and indeed should have mentioned previously) is that I shoot 10m AP, not heavy cal. powder burners and the stance I use is a full 90deg to firing line, head full 90 deg to the right. Eye and arm are therefore in line, leaving the hold on the pistol as the variable. Alex, I ...

Joe, I'll second what Paul says about checking out off the hook reading glasses. It will be the cheapest way of experimenting and if you then find you need "real" shooting glasses, you will know what to order. If you find you need to go down to .25 diopters as opposed to the standard .5 di...

I'm just a newbie and have been struggling for 18 months to get my averages above 83 or 84/100 - adjusting almost everything on the gun from time to time (as you do!!). I thought I was using my NPA, but decided to double check. Raising the gun, eyes closed, the front sight was off to the left, by ar...
