are you using a blind?

Normally degrease the entire action... rebuild without any grease or lube. Hammer running surfaces polished. If anything feels tight or graunchy it gets polished. Grease collects dust, gets where it shouldn't and changes viscosity. Not such an important consideration for 10m shooting where it's all ...

Doing this w/o a pressure reducer is a disaster waiting to happen ... one of the reasons air is much safer is there is NO possibility of an overfill. You don't need a regulator, just a careful approach. If you have something like a 50L or a valve that's a little hard to operate easily, get a flow r...

Don't bother. I have mentioned tped in various occasions (see my links above) yet some people still can't find any legislation for vessels below 1 liter or where the 10 years period comes from. It's not that you can't find the legislation, it's that the legislation pointed to says 2.5 or 5 years, n...

The law is a mess... There is a legal requirement for this and it is covered under Part 6 of BS 5430, 1994 Periodic inspection, testing and maintenance of transportable gas containers (excluding dissolved acetylene containers) Part 6, Specification for seamless steel and aluminium alloy containers h...

Many things can affect air rifles.

Most stocks including the ally ones warp.

We end up free floating most and running them with polished internals and no lube, with different seal materials to combat the -7 to +40 ambient we can shoot in with FT. Otherwise we can see massive POI shifts.

Right and that's been a problem in reality with people accidentally shooting themselves or others ? It's all very good coming up with hypothetical scenarios for safety 'problems' that don't happen. Well... I once shot a hole in the ceiling during equipment control when I tested a pistol which was h...

You will now need a two foot breach flag for your air rifle! The rule states the flag must extend through the full length of the barrel!!! Who dreamed that up? This came from us "colonials". Our 3-P air rules require a Clear Barrel Indicator (CBI), since it's hard to check the "chamb...

robf For long distance, or field target those groups might be fine, if those were from a 10m precision airgun being used for that purpose it would be time for an new rifle or a major league tune up. Dude 2mm sitting at 25m is less than 0.8mm and those groups werent shot benched. The 25m one was sho...

What weight of pellet would you guys recommend for testing, to make sure my rifle was shooting at spec? I'm thinking of using an 8.2gr H&N or RWS rifle pellet. Thanks, -John Weight doesn't always make much difference. Just use whatever is most accurate and don't concern yourself with the optimu...

The manufacturers of 10m air rifles have designed barrel length and number of rifling twists with a velocity of around 170/175 MPS so every thing is optimised for the tightest group. Deviate to far away from these parameters and the group will open up. Steyr found that the Anschutz barrels used on ...

Rob, Over 180m/sec you loose accuracy! I have tried it many times in a bench. Guy. We all run around 230-240 m/s. Still getting single digit millimeter groups at 50m with 10 shots below. http://www.shooting-the-breeze.com/external/group2.jpg this is at 25m with a springer http://www.shooting-the-br...

The velocity for Olympic air rifle should be 170-176m/sec. It depends on the weight of the pellet and the recoil the shooter prefers. In higher velocities you loose accuracy. Guy. You don't. Unless you count single figure mm CTC groups at 50m as less accurate? Normally it's a pellet problem. But th...

Yep, tell Barrie that Rob, his ex chairman sent you his way ;)

I think the OP might be in the US :)

The lg110 is identical externally to the 10m and full power version. The 2002 boosted also is. The 2020 is the same bar the number change. The 12 and 20 ft-lb Walther regs are externally identical and only subtly different to the 10m ones. The fwb p70 and 700 are identical externally bar the number....

What are you going to do about the non altered factory rifles which leave the factory running 12 and 20 ft-lb? Walther, Steyr, FWB and Anschutz have all made target rifles identical to their 10m versions which run out of the box at higher power. (they do carry different model numbers sometimes and s...

I think that the implication is with regards the potential gyroscopic or electronic stabilisation devices that might be created at some point in the future. Which probably means that there is some concern that these devices might already be in existance. They are. I've seen one in use in FT. http:/...

Don't TSA have scanners then? You can clearly see what's in a compressed air cylinder with them. http://shooting-the-breeze.com/internal/2009_WFTF_Worlds/IMG_8467.jpg What do they do if you wish to put a solid steel bar in your luggage, prove it can't be opened? Or are they trying to say their scann...

Right, so even though you may have got a rifle from Steyr, you might have fitted a bottle from anywhere in the world and it might not have a stamp. So do you scratch one in yourself?

As i've said before, the ISSF assume everything is off the shelf.
