Concur with mtncwru that it's important that you get it looked at as if you leave it too long you will damage the nerve which can lead to muscle weakness...

Feinwerkbau did change the piston/seal to a different type at some stage due to the piston breaking so I think there maybe 2 types.

I don't do modern pentathlon, do you, so can't comment on that one.

But it's the way it's done and that's it When it's a deliberate choice and brand new "it's the way it's done and that's it" is a monumental cop-out of an answer! Sparks, you've been very vocal in you dislike of the new system on this site and others, what I'm pointing out is that's the wa...

Not so sure Sparks, you have to shoot all good shots in the Final. Nicco didn't on that day but he still qualified as did all the others in the final. Because he went out just proves that he didn't shoot to his best in that Final doesn't make the person who got Gold lucky, he just shot a better Fina...

You may have problems with the bolt throw, it's going to come back a lot further and may catch the cheekpiece.
I know Grunig do one which pivots up as you pull the bolt back
Just a thought

wood is dynamic, in other words it moves. wood reacts with temperature and humidity. wood moving against a rifle barrel can change point of impact slightly when swollen. this is why most serious hunters use kevlar or some type of plastic stocks. laminated wood stocks have less movement, but they wi...

Kenny
The hps top hinge plate is good so long as your jacket fits well in the shoulder and you don't have too much material there, otherwise the plate has a tendency to go under the material instead of over it, to follow the shoulder profile.
Hope that makes sense
