Re: Pellets-EU

If you've imported before then just ignore this. If not then just in case you weren't aware, you'll need to fill in a form to apply for an import licence. It's available here and can be done online, there's no cost. https://www.gov.ie/en/service/c9331-import-firearms/?referrer=http://www.justice.ie/...

Re: Suggestions for Airline Rifle Cases

I went to Camp Perry this summer for a shooting holiday and needed a decent case for flying with. I bought a Peli IM3300 and it did the job just fine, I put four TSA padlocks on it to secure it. Whatever you get, I very highly recommend making sure it has wheels on it. The wheels were a godsend whil...

Re: Krale

I'm in Europe so I don't have any import restrictions to worry about so not in your situation. However I have purchased online from Krale on about 5 or 6 occasions without any trouble. They're a reputable retailer so you've nothing to worry about from that perspective.

Re: Centra Spy elevation travel

Thanks Tim. I was considering this sight and wanted to see if it would fit all my means without having the added fiddling about with the front sight. I like the idea of adding forward "cant" by mismatching the front and rear elevation.

Centra Spy elevation travel

Hi all, I know this is a "how long is a piece of string" type question but....has anyone used a Centra Spy rear sight to shoot from 25 yards out as far as 100 yards (or even better 100 metres) ? I'm wondering if it can be done with this sight without having to resort to adjusting the heigh...

Re: KK500 Blacktec

I have one. It's my first target rifle and I'm not the best shot so I'm not in a situation to give much of a review of it. The way I saw it prior to buying was pretty much as you summed up yourself - cheaper/lass adaptable stock with the KK500 business end. I reckoned as a beginner I wouldn't make t...

That's looks gorgeous from the hand grip forward. The buttstock looks like an earwig's bum however.

Re: Walther KK500 Torque Values

I realise this is a bit of a sideline to this thread but since it's related to the action screw area of the receiver I thought I'd ask...(This is just for my own curiosity) I have the Blacktec stock model that uses the two central action screws to mount it to the stock.

Re: Walther KK500 Torque Values

Just in case anybody is searching the topic for the Blacktec model that uses two action screws - 4.5 to 5.0Nm is what Walther recommend to me.

Re: Modified KK500?

Yes, I understood that gluing the barrel in place theoretically stresses the barrel less as there are no clamping forces involved. Neither were there any tensions stretching the barrel like in a threaded in barrel. I'd imagine these "stresses" must be very low anyway since it doesn't hurt ...

Modified KK500?

I was looking at images of Sergey Kamenskiy's Walther KK500 and noticed that his receiver isn't a standard KK500. Instead of the barrel being glued in, his receiver appears to have slots cut and screws counterbored in it to clamp the barrel in place. Anyone any idea why this has been done? - Faster ...

Re: Anschutz, Walther, or Turbo, other?

Are the KK500s able to be switched between left and right handed? Not speaking from hands on experience but... Yes, the stocks are ambidextrous and the bolt is easily flipped around without tools. As far as I know, to get the rifle ejecting to the left you need to take the stock off and flip the ej...

Re: KK300 advice

Kind of a sidetrack yet kind of related to the OP's question about having a gunsmith install a shorter barrel perhaps: I believe Walther bonds their barrels into the receiver, does anyone know what the process is for removing the old barrel? How is the "glue" undone/de-bonded to get the ol...
