Air pistols used at the Olympics?

Looking at footage of the 10m AP finals, individual and mixed, it seems that the most popular air pistol by far is the e-trigger Steyr EVO10. Used by about 95% of the competitors, I think.

I'm a bit surprised by this as I thought that e-triggers were not that popular by shooters at this level...

Re: MG2-E disassembly.

For ease of disassembly and repair of your Matchguns MG2-E, may I suggest that you also use the only tool that they reckon is needed to repair a Russian Model 1895 Nagant revolver?

Good luck, that was a fine shooting gun in its day.
Thanks !

Air Match 600

I need to replace the O ring in the compression chamber of my Air Match 600 and I'm hoping that someone on this forum remembers how to do this, and can provide me with a simple "how To" guide?

Anyone?

Thanks in advnace...

Also, those of you who are concerned about change of quality now that Beretta controls Chapuis Armes - you have nothing to be worried about. I've seen 2 M...

Re: CCI Standard at CCI

You are going to hate me for saying this but, bizarrely, CCI STD .22 lr is cheaper here in Australia.

A brick of 500 is around $USD 42 ( $AUD 55 )

Re: Pardini HP32 Brass Catcher

Leon, that catcher doesn't look like it will fit the box for ISSF competitions... Looks very pretty... and very expensive!!! I've bought a catcher from Jean-François and I'm quite happy it it. Best money I've spent since buying the gun. Never failed to catch a case, nor did it cause any jams. You d...

Re: Twist rate for .32SWL for 50m

" The best offering is the Speer 98 grain HBWC. Sadly, they do not shoot well in factory Pardini barrels."

Oh, I shoot Speer 98g HBWC in .314 in my Pardini exclusively, and have no accuracy issues...They group very, very well indeed..

Same.... when I had my SSP and SSPes I also had 2 rear sights - one of which I never used - as it's just as easy, if not easier, just to adjust the elevation screw.

David Levene wrote: Thu Apr 22, 2021 6:37 am Isn't that the switch to change from 1000g to 1360g trigger weight?
David Levene is right. This is the adjustment screw on early model 208s which changes the trigger weight from 1000g to 1360g, and vice versa....
