Air Venturi Comp 10 / Hammerli AP20 Pro Question

I am preparing to enter the dark side on a budget and am considering purchasing either the Air Venturi Comp 10 or a used Hammerli AP20 Pro. I am a 79 y/o plinker and just want something under $1K but accurate for shooting in my garage. Since the Air Venturi is a new pistol, I wonder if any members h...

Re: FWB 65 Special Trigger Wrench

ojh , I think it came to $14 USD with the shipping. Worth it to have all the parts. Thanks for the post

Re: FWB 65 Special Trigger Wrench

Thanks again to all who provided info. According to Airgunwerks, the key like tool shown in k38’s picture is the special wrench. I bought one on eBay from a Canadian dealer and it will arrive soon. ojh’s input seals the deal for me because the tool I bought looks too big to fit in the adjusting open...

Re: FWB 65 Special Trigger Wrench

To _nc513_ and Dino911. I found one of those in a Canada vendor on eBay and ordered one, but that is a screwdriver tool, not the wrench that, in looking on the gun where it is inserted, I’d bet is a lot like an Allen wrench To Gwhite, thanks, I’ll give him a call. To K38, you are correct, the factor...

FWB 65 Special Trigger Wrench

I just purchased a really nice FWB 65 and, as usual with many preowned airguns, you get the gun but no none of the tools that were included in the original box. According to the manual, there is a special wrench used to adjust the trigger and trigger weight. So I’m asking the members if anyone knows...

Re: FWB 65 Anatomical Grip

Rover, thank you and ain’t nothing wrong with that subject. I would suppose that you also talked a little about wines and perhaps grappa. I grew up around New London, CT, so am a little familiar with good Italian food and drink, especially at Christmas and Easter. I sent an email and hope to get a r...

Re: FWB 65 Anatomical Grip

Thanks Rover,
Sadly, it appears Mr. Vitarbo passed in 2022 and I find no evidence of a remaining company. From his history, looks like he was a real artisan and a helluva shooter.

FWB 65 Anatomical Grip

I have a FWB 65 and want to buy anatomical grips to replace the sport grips currently on the pistol. I am aware of Rink Grips but would like to buy American if possible. I’ve emailed Steve Corcoran but got a reply that he is not taking orders and does not know when he will. I’ve also emailed Vernon ...

Re: IZH 46

Gwhite, Thanks for the reply. The gun has lived on the top shelf of a ventilated closet in an air conditioned home in Melbourne, FL underneath Crosman 2300 S & T boxes. I pulled it down today and the pistol is still wrapped in that ‘funny’ paper the Russians use around pistols. It is an IZH 46M ...

IZH 46

I have an IZH 46 that has been in my closet, in the original box, for over 14 years. I now want to shoot the pistol and perhaps sell it but need to know specifically what I need to do prior to cocking it. I cannot, in good conscience, sell a gun that does not fire. As I am a mechanical idiot, detail...

The Crosman web site has a section with owners manuals. You should find an owners manual and schematic there. Good luck!

Re: Locations to shoot Florida or South Carolina

In Florida, there is an Indian River County shooting range near the Indian river county / Brevard county line. It has both small bore and, as I recall, a 10 meter airgun range. Google Indian River County Shooting Range for lots of info.

Tau 200 Bipod

I recently had my Tau 200 Junior resealed and want to shoot it soon. As an older shooter (78) I am not as steady as I once was and would like to mount a bipod in the synthetic stock channel. I would like to know if any members have done so and can recommend a bipod and purchase source. Many thanks.

Daisy 747/777

Just purchased a Daisy 777 and have a 747 that needs reseal, but my question is whether there is a way to mount a red dot to either pistol without it looking like Rube Goldberg did it. Thanks in advance. Dave B

Daisy 853/953, and 747

I'm a new member and first want to thank you for this forum. I have many airguns but have never really done a lot in terms of taking them apart, making changes, and putting them back together. This forum is exactly what I was was looking for and I am hoping that I can get answers to three questions ...
